Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope you all have a lovely time. If you can't I hope you can make the best of the time you have. And if you're missing someone, my thoughts are with you.

Always 💖

Don't make me tap the sign

This is not a farmers tax.

This is not a tractor tax.

This is a tax on estates worth over £2,000,000 paying 20% on that asset (only over 2mil).

There is a reason
Jeremy Clarkson called his farm diddly squatt. It's the tax he intends to pay.

Mood right now

I mean it's bigger as you type.

One thing I have noticed on here. The font is bigger, better for us with rubbish eyesight!

Ah, I see. Thank you.

Oh! Not sure I understand all that but at least it's an explanation. Thank you.

I have 44 followers now.
I hope none of you have high expectations of me!

Hopefully it'll change.

But you know that already!

Happy to say I already do. And yes, she is. And so are you.

I'm blocked by 2. Neither of which I've interacted with. But whatever...

Want to check who blocked you?
Check here:

... Strange how many people blocked me, without any interaction even in absence.
Maybe, because I have a german flag in my avatar?
Maybe because I am LGBTQ+ friendly?
Maybe because I am "Lasernerd"?
Maybe bacause I am no Bot???

I'd prefer the old Twitter system; you like, you follow. You don't, you don't. Want to block, you can and they can't see or interact with you. Seems a simpler system that isn't open to abuse.

... a particular person on Twitter telling me to. That was about a year ago and I haven't used it since. But more people from Twitter seem to be coming here, after Space Karen ruining the place. I still prefer it there, but seems like the Butterfly app could be the new place to be.
We shall see.

... Instagram. Again mainly populated by people from my RL, and now linked to Threads, which puts me off Threads even more! But some decent people from Twitter have migrated (see what I did there?!) from Twitter to Threads so that's good.
Now we have Bluesky. I opened this account after...

..Obviously now I've met many people from there in RL now, and call many of them friends. Not that some people from Twitter I've never and probably never will meet I don't think of as friends. One lady in particular has been very kind to me and helped me understand myself a bit more. Then there's...

So. Social media. Twitter was and still is my online home. I only joined FB because it was "what ya did" but I never liked how it was only people I already knew. And family. The family part was fine obviously. So I came off it. But Twitter was somewhere where I didn't know anyone...

Honoured to be included! I had no idea, thank you Addy.

Same!

@tinks-tara.bsky.social There you are!

Why does the name have to have .bsky.social after it? Seems pointless to me.
