Yes, that side I ‘am’ grateful for. Less noise, for sure.

Actually finding #bluesky a very lonely place so far…

Missing the family, friends and acquaintances that I once interacted with on Meta platforms, but I’m not willing to provide my ID (video of face and voice) or pay $ just to appeal being unjustly locked from my accounts.

I often contemplate the things that annoy me more than they should, which usually allows me to laugh at myself and diffuse the would-be frustration of the moment. What would you add to the list?

10 Harmless Things That Annoy Me

1) Single ply toilet tissue
2) Static hair
3) Soft, super fast narration on reels
4) Mugs stacked higgeldy piggeldy
5) Stepping on cat litter
6) Dog toy squeakers
7) Tights that are too loose in the crotch
8) Goat cheese
9) Spicy toothpaste
10) Warm pillows

You?

Me too ♥️ Such sweetness on both sides of this relationship!

Canadian PM Carney: Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Grief comes and sits with me
When I am alone
In my thoughts.

She seems to worry
That I am lonely
In these moments.

She leans against me,
Heavier and heavier…
Just the weight of her.

“I’m here. I’m here…”
She says, soothingly,
As I gasp for breath.

“Sisters, not twins” she whispers to herself, while observing in her reflection two off kilter Monday morning liquid eye-liner wings…

My heart goes out to her loved ones, especially her children. 💔 So sad to read this.

#Scotland is calling to me again. It has been too long…

…

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

…

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.

…

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.

…

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

"For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026."

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

…

♥️ I breathe a little deeper in this environment.

Thank you for taking a moment to write, @fl-anjet.bsky.social. They were an integral part of my life, and I feel their absence (but also their presence still when I look for it), every day. I am still working through the grief, conscious of balancing it with as much joy as I can.
