I've been on Bluesky since November 2023. I've enjoyed it. People used alt text, people agreed to disagree. Not any more. I've seen more hatred and abuse on here in the last few days than I ever saw at Twitter. I'm not staying for that. I'll keep my account, but I'm done with this platform.

this is seeing a little bump of shares wtf. buy my fucken book

British people - have a look at this thread, and then tell me you're not thinking of leaving Bluesky too? It's full of America-is-the-only-country types, old shouty people, mansplainers, and the too ignorant to realise they're ignorant.

For those of you that don't want to donate to individual GoFundMe campaigns for Palestinians that are suffering a genocide in real-time, because you'd rather donate to a "credible" cause, this Sunday you can put your money where your mouth is. I'll be raising money for the PCRF

Me: carefully chooses wines for both Christmas and New Year that aren't overtly oaky Systembolaget: neglects to mention the overwhelming fake flavour of oak in both I'm so fucking sick of this stupid monopoly and their *terrible* taste in wine.

Here's a thought for 2025: Let's stop kidding ourselves that governments are just misguided. They know how to fix the environment, the wars, the inequalities. They simply don't want to.
