Really fed up with all these new "followers" (all men) who have zero posts. What is this all about? I always check the bio before following back so obviously do not follow any of them. I expected better from Bluesky.
What a beautiful, moving article on dementia.
"In a house of broken gutters and drainpipes, rain in the hall, cracks in the gable and a collapsing garage, we live in a time of endings, and I come to believe this broken house is us." @wildtwin.bsky.social is heartbreakingly moving on memory and dementia. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Conference kindness reminder: presenting can be super stressful and scary, especially if it’s the first time you’ve done it, or public speaking isn’t part of your day job. If you’re the first person to ask a question, thank the speaker and say something nice.
I'm starting to get a bit irritated by the number of new followers I have who have 0 posts and a minimalistic, generic bio often featuring the miltary or God. Even if they have a picture, it could be anyone's. Can't decide whether to block or just mute them. Anyone else experiencing sth similar?
I‘m starting to get Follows from accounts with generic bios (often with supposedly philosophical life tips) and no posts. This does not augur well.
