“You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.” Maya Angelou It’s alright to slow down and simply be. We don’t have to rush or keep proving our worth. Who you are, and how you’re doing right now, is already enough. 🧡 #kindness #positivity Picture by @fullspiritquotes

How good is BlueSky being at not being as toxic and annoying, toxic in content and word, and as bot-bound as X/Twitter now? Thought I'd ask.

Unsung hero of WWII

BlueSky began, I believe, as a reaction against the rather unpleasant mess that X, formerly Twitter, had become. I predict that more #slowmedia and - my term - #boldmedia channels will rise based on more truth and less toxicity.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” We never truly know what someone else is holding. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is to pause and see the person. To offer a little more love and understanding. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #connection Picture by @joyfulsmolthings
