You may not agree with me on this, but it looks like we may have a U.S. bird flu pandemic at some point. I hope I'm wrong! Remember the shortages & also the things that helped you through Covid - put some of those helpful things in place as much as possible before you have to compete with others.

Remember this day.
The last full day with a Democratic President.
We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently.
