X is rolling out their new “block” function. As a reminder I’m mostly on BSky for candid interactions. Still working on building out threads. I’m checking here for specific news accounts, the few of you who haven’t moved, and DMs.

Quick checkin- Mom got a serious cut to her hand this week, and the result is I’m exhausted after a week of parental care. I’m on limited mental capacity and quiet as a result. I’m fine using the adjusted parameters.
