Yes, but it is linked! Every photo you post on Bluesky/flashes shows up in the other. I think if we truly ditch IG and threads/the app formally known as twitter then it’s just two apps that work in tandem.

Oh thank goodness it wasn’t my birthday necklace. It was a nice big piece of amber pendant that my mom brought back from Lithuania for me. It’s cracked in half now and all scratched up.

What is up ? I broke a favorite necklace (like beyond repair), I broke a bowl my kid made (maybe can repair) and then I somehow slipped and spilled the sweet potatoes I was going to roast and they landed in the bottom of the hot oven. Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Was absolutely blown away by this amazing mezcal producer.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

I will be joining!!

Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!
