Moon 4th, mars 1st, mars Asc. Both mars are for Scorpio, not Aries.

My 8th grade language arts teacher — the first teacher to buy a book for me as a gift — messaged me on IG to say she loved my new poem!!!!!!!

If I could only learn how to talk to myself they way I talk to my cat …

Me to my cat: Good morning beautiful.
Look at all your glorious gorgeousness 🩷
You are perfection

A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms Protecting your posts • disabling replies on your posts • limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists • disabling quote posting on your posts • detaching your post from someone else's quote • changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone • self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users • limiting account visibility only to logged in users • note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it Limiting your interaction • blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts • if you block after an interaction, they vaporize • if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post • note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps • muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies • note: your mutes are private • muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users • note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public • subscribing to other people's mod lists • note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same • subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category • report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

They will always be more beautiful than you.

At a @julianassange.bsky.social gathering in San Francisco I met Alice Walker, author of The Colour Purple. She read this extraordinary poem -They Will Always Be More Beautiful Than You - and I thought of the Palestinian children, and wept. She gave me the book she read from. I'll never recover.

Thank you!!!

Get out the glitter!!!

What it would look like if you tracked me at night when I have chips in the house.

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I gotcha, I'll show ya
You can detatch quotes like such:

Whenever someone quotes you, go to the quote and click the multiple bullet button for extra features. Click detach quote. Should be that simple!

Oh! I’m new, this sounds so wonderful.

Oh! On my family and not me you say?? Wish wish wish wish wish wish!!!

I’m wishing! I’m wishing!

I’ve been fighting hard for a good dialectic. Tyvm

He told you thoughts and prayers!

Your brain was playing the 80’s rock station. :)

I might have never noticed. And I like it without that leaf.

I love how you use bold dark shadows.

When we feel like things are moving too fast, we can remember how long able to take to change this map.

This is so gorgeous!

If you ever get lost in the Milky Way galaxy, here is a map.
