Golden sunlight bursts through a tangle of budding trees, casting long beams of light across a mossy woodland floor. New green shoots push up through leaf litter and patches of moss, catching the glow of the morning sun. A soft haze fills the air, with a hint of warmth and life returning to the woods.

It's the Spring Equinox - the first astronomical day of spring! β˜€οΈ

Longer days. Lighter evenings.

Sunshine warm on your skin, birds singing, blossom in the branches.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today?

Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Library haul! Seems like a good time to encourage going to your library so I will start doing library hauls & reviews. I’ve been obsessed with libraries forever. I love them! #booksky #library #libraryhaul #librarybook

Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges and makes drinking water safer.

Perched on a slender branch, this Blue Tit appears both adorable and slightly grumpy. Its vivid blue cap and yellow chest stand out against the soft green blur of the background. With its tiny feet gripping the branch and head tilted slightly downward, it looks like it’s deep in thought...or judging your birdwatching skills!

Just 2 days to go until the #BigGardenBirdwatch kicks off!

Bold Blue Tits ranked 2nd in last year's results... could they take the top spot this time? πŸ’™

Ummm what?? I have a new page on TT where I talk about content creation and I did a post about coming up with a name for the time TT was down, and it got slapped with this almost immediately! I appealed so we shall see. But wow. #tiktokban #tiktokisback #communityguidelines

Ok I have a whole section of my little Slowestuff universe that is product reviews. So I can start posting videos on here now? Can I put them in a separate grouping or something? Or should I do a second acct for those videos? Help me #bluesky #blueskiers

A photograph of a deserted pub car park surrounded by bare trees on a murky day: wet asphalt, grey sky. In the centre, next to a flumpy yellow cypress tree, are a litter bin and an ornamental lamppost who appear to be sharing a joke together. The head of the lamp is bent at an angle so it appears to be looking down at the bin whose lid has broken given it the appearance of a laughing face.

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.

Welcome to Bluesky all you US Tik Tok-ers!

New arrivals have just pushed us past 28 million usersπŸŽ‰

New sign-ups currently running at 6x the speed of recent weeks.

Losing #booktok is awful. It will take time to rebuild a community like the one that was there.
I really think #booksky can be a great community for everyone though, and I hope everyone checking it out dives in and starts conversations. It’s a welcoming place.
Let’s be friends!

Content creators. What editing app are you using? I loved CapCut but that is currently disabled now due to the ban. Would love recommendations ✨

I just posted the same question. I loved CapCut so yikes! I’m trying out Captions for now.

Small Mercies was my top read from last year and I don’t hear anyone talking about it. It is way more than a crime drama! I absolutely loved it. #smallmercies #booksky #bookrec #top10

WHAT ARE YOU USING TO EDIT VIDEOS? CapCut is also dark and I LOVED editing my videos on there. Yikes! I don’t want to edit in app anywhere because it always sucks. I need a good editing app so what do you guys use/like? #capcut #capcutban #videoediting

I think I am going to get back into my #junkjournaling. Weirdly it is one area of my life that I feel perfectionist vibes and I don’t like it! I just need to happily put paper on paper and not worry if it isn’t gorgeous. #journaling #scrapbook

So for content creators, besides moving to Bluesky, where are you focusing your efforts now that TikTok is dark? The Flip app seems to be having some growing pains. I think I will focus on Amazon? Not sure. #contentcreators #tiktokshop #tiktokban
