This wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Just one of the reasons I deleted all my Meta accounts and apps last January.

Cool thing about Bluesky is you can add a #Dramione Feed to the top of the app so you can see all posts that mention it!

How I disconnected from tech in 2025 And how this simple spreadsheet will help you do it in 2026

I read an interesting article by Derek Beyer about how he has slowly disconnected from technology. Definitely worth a read!

I just read a really amazing article by Derek Beyer on Substack today about he has slowly and systematically disconnected from tech. It’s worth a read! open.substack.com/pub/otherwor...

I’m hoping more of us come to Bluesky! I relied so much on TikTok for new recs but I won’t accept those new terms of service (and heard that if you don’t agree to them but still use the app, you are agreeing by default).

This is the news I needed on a Monday!!

I lived in Charleston years ago. I sent this to a family member who is still apathetic to what’s happening, hoping it would spur some kind of emotion.

I was coming to say this!!

My whole house has the flu. 3 vaccinated, 1 did not. That one is in bed with a 104° fever. 🤒

The purpose of negative emotions is not to cause misery. It’s to prevent mistakes.

Outrage is a signal to speak up. Anxiety is a prompt to prepare. Guilt is a reminder to repair. Disappointment is a cue to persist.

Pain reveals principles. Where we hurt is a clue to what we value.

I want to put my Harris Walz sign back out in my front yard

While I am appreciative of early warnings, the iPhone tornado warning sound going off on 4 phones at the same time makes my heart stop. 🌪️

This is exactly how I read it, too. It seemed basically like a free pass from the president to do whatever as long as it’s “saving the country.”

Sure!

This is nice to hear. I’ve participated in mentorship programs at work, but have held back from volunteering to be a mentor because I use the excuse that I’m not an expert in my industry.

This is me. Can’t even form words.

Bookshop.org enters the e-book arena, giving indie stores a new way to compete with Amazon "Everything Amazon can do, we want to do as well or better," says CEO Andy Hunter on boosting indie sales digitally.

Very cool. 📚 Dropping Meta apps was easy but leaving Amazon has been much harder so I like hearing about alternatives.

Oh JD, go sit back down on the couch.
