So much talk along the lines "on Bluesky we do this, but we don't do that". I think everyone is free to do their thing, so I wanted to share how I use this app.

I recommend a trip to Iceland, that's usually where they hang out.

And thank you for always being so supportive whenever I do a silly thread!

It’s a fantastic line to sing. Surprisingly much of a mouthful but feels very good to pull off.

Well, I never worried about YOU in this context 😀

It’s a complete masterpiece, like a modern tragedy playing out to an ominous synthesizer backdrop.

Now that is what me and my old friend Agnetha Fältskog would call ”a good start”.

Twelve is a good number, don’t you think? If you could easily place them all, then maybe you’re a bit more of an Abba fan than the casual Abba fans are.

We’re not the stars
Of a Hollywood movie
So what’s the use to pretend?
I’m not so charming
And you’re not so groovy
You got to face it, my friend.

Almost good again but only almost. Getting a bit bored, can you tell? 😀

This is getting crazy
I should tell him so
Really let my anger show
Persuade him that the answer to his questions
Is a definite no

All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry?

The signal’s sounding once again
And someone tries the door knob
None of my friends would be so
Stupidly impatient

It was like shooting
a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile,
and baby, I was stuck

Inget roar mig just nu
Ingen annan, bara du

Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do

I don’t care if they’re watching
’Cause listen
We’ve got a reason
For each time we’re kissing

”You’re so free!"
That’s what everybody’s telling me
Yet I feel like I’m an outward-bound
Pushed-around
Refugee

I’m so thankful and proud. All I want is to sing it out loud.

Put on your white sombrero
Like all the cowboys do
Go find a sweet señorita
Somebody meek
Who’ll never speak
Harshly to you

Probably. I’m sure my life was well within its usual frame.

So I took advantage
Of the fact that I’m a star
Shook my hair
And took a casual stroll up to the bar

I’m sure I had my dinner
Watching something on TV
There’s not, I think,
A single episode of Dallas that I didn’t see
