Here's a thing

Instead of posting false Pres 45/47 tweets/posts, how about NOT POSTING ANY OF HIS SHIT AT ALL

Yep. Put it this way, I don't think the word "sloppy" would have been used if I was a man or younger & more glamorous.

You most certainly are. Ideally an angry one with teeth and blades.

This plays heavy on my mind. And we all know some folx are definitely more bigoted and ignorant than others, especially in the workplace and especially when trying to seem more important.

I am glad you clarified this. Not that that was on my mind.

Hard thing to discuss without doxxing myself, but when someone calls work linked to you "sloppy" & holds you responsible for it*, I can't help but think its linked to their perception of my appearance

*dw, all being dealt with

I might delete but it's not as ridiculous a notion as you'd think.

Lolz. Ignorance I find works best.

Yep and that's what I'd like here. Especially given that Clearsky makes full blocking visible.

__________ @jenbren.bsky.social · 3h

Give the Roscommon HSE a call. There may be some at a later stage.

They don't now unless they actively look. But srsly, this is where soft blocking is best for everyone concerned tbh.

There comes a time when muting is insufficient but blocking is too severe

Harder when you've followed them for years and in 1 case met someone 😬

That's it. I am being ruthless about unfollows now in the lack of soft blocking being available. I'm too old to put up with people who I go off and we all deserve a suitable happy timeline.

Just wish it was easier here to prune follows & followers, mind.

Yes; mine too. I am especially grumpy these days but that's cos Leeds/Autumn/a need to try and prune who I follow. Which is hard here cos of how BS works.

__________ @jenbren.bsky.social · 4h

Fair enough.
