I’m getting old Kathy. Can you tell me how? I don’t have the emoji symbol that I’m used to. Sorry.

Learning on the app. Where do I find emojis. Not seeing it in the menu at bottom? Thanks.

πŸ’™ πŸ“š Well this sort of sucked. Just downloaded and read the 24 chapter sample of β€œAll The Colors Of The Dark” from Kindle. Went to purchase the rest and it’s not available on Kindle. Have to purchase a paper copy. #booksky #kindletrick

Maybe we’re just BSers? (Wonder if they thought about their acronym?)

Just finished reading Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This powerful book, Grisham's first co-authored work, dives deep into the heartbreaking reality of wrongful convictions. Featuring ten true stories of people who were not just wrongly accused but framed, it’s both shocking and eye-opening. Each case exposes systemic flaws in the legal and judicial system, from police misconduct to junk science and prosecutorial pressure. Some of these individuals came within days of executionβ€”one case even resulted in an innocent person being executed.

McCloskey, a founding figure of Centurion Ministries and part of The Innocence Project, adds a personal touch reflecting his decades of work fighting for justice. The book challenges readers to rethink their faith in the system and shines a light on the critical need for reform. It’s an emotional, infuriating, and incredibly important read. Highly recommend for anyone interested in justice and true crime.

I found out that SkyBridge from Google App Store doesn’t install on tablets, pads, phones. Only on desktop machines… which I haven’t had for 8 years. LOL

How to get started on Bluesky, which has added a million followers since the election Some people say they’re quitting Elon Musk’s X and jumping ship for decentralized Twitter clone Bluesky. Here's what you need to know if you're switching.

Has anyone tried this method of reconnecting with former β€œX” relationships?

Back in the day it was about getting large numbers of followers. So anywhere I spoke, conferences I attended, etc were places to add to the numbers. Ended up with many people that I don’t know or really care about. I’m not selling now, don’t need a large brand following, so being more selective.

First connection. First message. I have no idea how to connect with so many of the people that I used to enjoy on X/Twiiter. It really is like starting all over with a clean slate. A chance to keep it clean and not make the same mistakes.

Back in the early days of social media, I joined associations and groups, attended conferences and events, and was part of a fast growing group of colleagues learning the ropes.

Today is different. Retired in a small town, I hardly know how to begin. Hopefully old & new friends, will find me.
