This is a terrific explainer on Bluesky and how it works and why, and I recommend reading it for a good basic understanding of the place.
"People are figuring out that they aren't morally obligated to listen to assholes on social media. And Bluesky is actively helping them do that."

The policy choices and the priorities of the second Trump administration will have profound effects on animals. In general, experts said, the administration put the interests of industry over those of animals. That pattern is expected to continue.

I love libraries. As a latchkey kid I basically grew up in my local library. As an adult, finding my books in the library is how I knew I had made it as a writer. Please use and support your local library, they're incredibly important to your community and to the country.
I always love when authors speak approvingly of libraries.
I mean, I'd LIKE to be able to buy a copy of every book I've ever liked, but in between financial and spatial requirements ...
So, yeah, the library is where it's at. For this, and many other reasons.
