Due to capitulation by this platform to the facism currently threatening all innocent people, I can not in good conscience utilize this account until the BlueSky policy changes representing erosion of free expression are reversed. Peace & Love, y'all 💖

"I need twice as much space and half as many things..."
"These are the ghosts I made myself..."

If I have a theme #song, it's These are the Ghosts by The Bees. A gorgeous #Psychedelic UK #Jam track!

The 70's had big problems.

Vietnam, Watergate, Energy Crisis & Worse... But also cheeky, cheesy positivity. Big media celebrates the 60s & 80s, but the middle child of Pop TV had real heart and raised a generation.

Optimism is your ultimate weapon. Keep it ready! 💖

On June 14, 2025, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed at their home by a man impersonating a police officer. Another Democrat, John Hoffman, was shot on the same night by the murderer who is unidentified and still at large.

Her name is Melissa Hortman.

So let me be clear, BlueSky isn't good for ME :) I can't seem to use it without getting wound up.

This IS a great site; I'm glad it's good for so many others. Please use it well. Maybe I'll be back here one day. Until then, I've got a lot of work to do first.

Thank you all for all your posts! 💖

Some folks have asked after my letter, and I'm so proud that this community still cares so much. 💖

😸I'm okay!

... I know emotions are high and we all have back-trauma with social media, but an apology for shared feelings seems wrong, doesn't it? We are all grieving, and here to find solace. (½)

And to the shaggy, trippy, hippie lion I got to be for a while, thank you so much. It was a blast making all your mistakes, and I heard you...

💖 ...and you'll always have me too.

I hope whoever I get to be next makes you proud.

Thank you for introducing me to myself,
Love, Ralph Greymuzzle xoxo

These years in B&B have been pure magic, and the trips we took out of town. I feel like I got exactly the grand college experience I was cheated out of as kid. Definitely more than I bargained for.

And thank you to the good Earth and spirit here in this sacred place. I hope I make it back 💚 (8/)

Think on all this, and if it got you thinking have that honest conversation. Putting something off is just refusing to do it, answer the hard questions, do what needs doing, then just look around. If it still feels good, stay, and if it doesn't?

If you got stuck there, read this part again. (7/)

I wish I could tell you how I cleared the blockage in the pathways of my thoughts, but most of you have learned to doubt maps. Press every wall, go off-road, explore... Thank goodness, right? But it can only get you half-way.

If you're not following this, I'm just not one your meat trusts. (6/)

I'm afraid... this isn't good for either of us. I'm here because I'm attached. BlueSky was a wonderful thing at a wonderful time in my life, but let's be honest We need to prioritize. It's just not 2014 anymore. It's not even 2024.

...we can't be the best selves we need to be yet. (5/)

The scary part that's holding you back is the forgiveness. Because it's admitting that you also made mistakes. A mind regrets, but bodies feel very genuine pain. One can only abolish shame with sincerity. You'll need to sacrifice something.

Good luck with that. I mean it. I hope it works out! (4/)

Depersoned Citizen 🔞 @ralphgreymuzzle.bsky.social · Jun 24

Be good to your meat! Love your meat, you can't get anything else. It's fun to pretend, but when that turns into a wish, you're leaving behind a lot of very important you. A lot of past that never got what it needed.

Don't blame your body for how the world treats it. You're its only ally. (3/)

At some point this weekend, this old hippie figured out a lot of things and felt a lot of feeling all at the same time. There is really is no going back once you've eaten your last regret.

The past is an object in your mind; a consumable bit of stored feelings. Horror? Nay. Freedom. (2/)

During FC, I saw something spiritual, something real. An actual Mecca for a huge swath of wayward souls. I can smell if I close my eyes, feel it on my skin. It's a moment in time.

...on a scroll made of meat in a perishable container. It would be unfair if it wasn't true for everyone. (1/?)

Donryu and I were in lockdown and losing our minds back in 2020. We needed smiles, and I start looking at cute animals.

We found this and felt real joy for the first time in weeks.

We watched every video and it helped us survive. Mikayla, thank you for everything.

It's time to start packing and get ready to flee or fight, fam.

They want the ability to put any American in a van, kill the ones they don't like and sell the rest. And they are going to get it.

It's officially Russia in here.... Don't forget to vote in three years (maybe).

If we don’t fight to protect research funding, we will lose all the scientific progress and breakthroughs.
