You and @carter-cifelli.bsky.social are my favorite dog accounts.

So glad you’re here sharing the amazing good you’re doing and giving, for dogs and for us.

Maybe she’s a tater tots girl?

Her smile says EVERYTHING!

I have finally had enough of the cruelty on Threads, so…

What’s up, BlueSky?

When is the funeral?

Some of us may wish to pay our respects, or just make fun of the whole thing.

Totally!

Among the ways to ward off disinformation is with well-sourced, fact based information and data.

…and do verifying research, to source material when possible.

Read beyond the headline.

Read further than the first paragraph.

There’s often more complexity, nuance and factual information in the full body of an article.

Thank you for your interesting posts! I’m enjoying the discovery putting this pack together is delivering!

To me, cocktails are about mood: the one I’m in, or the one I want to be in.

So I’ll absolutely be looking at your cocktail/drinks starter pack, and greatly appreciate that you shared it!

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!

Do I spy an Amer Picon hiding among the library of Chartreuse? If so, I have questions!

What Are We Drinking?

The great accounts in this starter pack help me figure out how to answer that question with recipes, news, reviews and even some history.

This is the start of this starter pack, it will grow as I discover more 🦋 people in the space!

And thank you!

Among the first drinks I ever had. Delicious and when done right, delightfully refreshing.

To learn a bit of the history behind it is fascinating. Thank you.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Deal!

As long as I can have all sauces and dressings on the side, we’re good.

Identical or largely similar, both would be useful.

Yes. I see the same and understand.

And I thank you for that elegant framing.

Noise. There’s lots of noise right now. A cacaphony. I’m striving to ignore the noise, to not be distracted in my quest for signals facts and data.

Signals matter. Facts matter. Data matters. I’m searching for those to assess and understand, and know how to impactfully act/react.

Seeing pictures of snow-covered New Orleans inspires me to make a classic NOLA cocktail tonight.

A Brandy Crusta—brandy, lemon, dry curaçao, and a whisper of maraschino liqueur. Shaken, poured into a coupe, with a sugar crusted rim doing double duty: both a bit of sweet and a snow-y garnish!

It’s not a question for mere mortals. It’s one for oracles, diviners and gods.

It sits alongside the question: why can’t I have an edit function?

If you do it deliberately, is it still a typo?

And can an audience detect the difference between an accident and an intention?

It dropped out on my again. Very odd.

Did Bluesky go a little weird for you too?

I just had a black screen with just a pretty 🦋 in the middle of it. And now, it’s back.

Dropping his 🦋 handle here:

@marklemley.bsky.social

I have struggled with how to respond to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness. While I have thought about quitting Facebook, I find great value in the connections and friends I have here, and it doesn't seem fair that I should lose that 1/4

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

May it all lay down flat for you with a straightforward path to resolution.

The Thriends from Threads list is now officially 500 strong and growing. If you are a part of the Threads exodus and would like to be added to the feed, let me know. You can pin this to your homepage for quick access, making it easy for everyone to stay connected to the Threads community here on 🦋

@eleonor-rose.bsky.social was a community builder on🧵, and is bringing that talent and activity here to 🦋. It’s a gift, no doubt.

Many thanks to her, and to others who are also building communities here.
