I watched a YouTube video and it was very helpful

My heart goes out to the families in Gaza.

Saw a video on YouTube about how to use Bluesky. It was very helpful. It’s from Tech Life Unity.

Venezuela, agreed to accept all the migrants!

It is overwhelming some days to stay informed on everything going on, to wade through the noise and dramatic presentations of various news sources. I could spend the entire day reading.

What a day! FBI paints over wall, agents being fired who did their job - but prez is retaliating and Musk trying to get control of the treasury controls.

There won't be the constant annoying ads that now clutter FB. When I open from online, there is a tool bar to the left - I spent a lot of time looking around for it before seeing it there. Hope that helps a bit.

Hi June,
I am learning too - I understand it is more like twitter used to be than FB - you create an account and select who you want to follow. When they post something it will pop up in your feed. You can also share or post something. There is a limit to how much you can write.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Hi June,
I’m still learning too.

I’m learning how to use BlueSky. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

From my cousin - a good tought for the day.

Whether you are cooking, carpentering, welding, sewing, or planting, you know to “Measure twice, cut once!”.

🙂 The same goes for internalizing what you read or hear, “Fact check twice before you repeat!”

Interests include music, paper crafts, sewing, balcony gardens, reading, and learning to eat 80% WBPF diet. AND yes, keeping up with politics.

Another opportunity to learn. Checking out BlueSky.
