He lied to the officers of Howl during this most recent thing. Made up a fake telegram saying it was another person using his account, he's never, etc. We didn't believe him on it and eventually he confessed.

We thought the 2023 things were venue drama. Do you have links?

A digital illustration of Mr Lover and Fishtopher. Mr Lover is an orange tabby cat, and Fishtopher is a brown tabby cat. They both wear large framed glasses and sequin bowties. Mr Lover has a serious expression, contrasting his magenta bowtie. Fishtopher sticks his tongue out, and wears a blue bowtie.

A closer look at:
HOME FEED PREFERENCES
(toggle drawing) Show Replies:
toggle to allow, and adjust "likes" to see more/fewer replies to posts in your home feed (tl)
Less likes = more replies seen = FULLER TIMELINE

Show Reposts:
you can turn off all reposts here, but you can't turn off reposts from individual accts (yet.)

Show Quote Posts:
you can turn off QPs, but reposts will still be visible if you don't turn them off as well.

Intro to Bluesky privacy:

(drawing of unlocked padlock) 
1. Your Bluesky acct is PUBLIC (as of yet there is NO priovate option)

2. There are NO private messages (drawing of letters "DM" with no sign through them)

(drawing of round face behind brick wall) 
3. Blocks are PUBLIC (people aren't notified when you block them, but your block list info is available for public search) 
(drawing of snake tempting round face person saying "yesss look up who blocked you")

(drawing of round face with fingers in ears) 
4. If you MUTE someone it's Private
but...
5. If you create a Mute Lists it's PUBLIC!
you can follow others' mute lists and/or make your own by going to Moderation --> Mute Lists

He says β€œwhy don’t I do this more?” Fourth panel: he’s now engulfed in flames and burning to a crisp. He says β€œoh, right”

There is a bush outside my apartment taht is home to dozens of rats. I call it the rat bush. I have come to view it as a minor nature deity and I rely on its sage advice. The man asks "oh rat bush, do I truly deserve affection?" All the rats in the rat bush start squeaking in unison. The man tears up, pumps his fist and says happily "you're right rat bush, I am worthy of love!" The rat bush continues to squeak.
