Bluer Skies on Bluesky

~ MaryG ~ 7 Comments

Quick update from the Great Blue Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Progressive people and institutions are deleting their Twitter/X accounts in protest and joining Bluesky, which apparently is the fastest growing app in the country right now.

I have no idea if I will ever post there, but I did set-up a profile, which you are welcome to follow. I’m @mamag83.

If I’ve interested you at all in my church or Unitarian Universalism through my posts, these are a few accounts you could follow:

My minister: @revlara

My church: @fculittleton

My former minister: @revfredsmall

If you like billionaires, Bluesky has Mark Cuban and he’s oh SO much better than Elon Musk: @mcuban

And finally, if you like astrology, please follow my daughter and order a personalized reading: @lunarxluci. People love them! (She also has large followings on TikTok: @lunarxluci and Instagram: @lunarxluci)

Have a great day. We’re going to be OK.

Doom scrolling

~ MaryG ~ 13 Comments

Which activities make you lose track of time?

I spend far too much time scrolling. My husband calls it “doom scrolling.”

Periodically, I delete different apps (like Facebook) from my phone or computer, so I won’t spend so much time looking at it, but I always end up reinstalling.

With Twitter, I was pissed at Elon Musk, so I deleted my whole account and can’t figure out how to get it back, so I’m logged into my husband’s account and am forbidden to like or post anything while in it.

Why don’t they show us more cat videos? It’s the “algorithm,” right? They have us pegged as furious Democrats, I guess. Doom scrolling just makes me madder.
