What I liked about Twitter is the lists so I could focus on one of my many areas of interest. Lists on BlueSky work the same including pinning them to my homepage. Now I need to find the people I want to follow over here.

Oh. And hi, Parkman.

I view BlueSky on my iPad. I find that using a prowler gives me a much better experience. By building my lists and pinning some to my Home Screen, I better focus on my current needs.Thanks for asking about books, @iowanice.bsky.social.

Normally I read mysteries and YA novels, but post election, I’m listening to nonfiction. I couldn’t get into my normal fare. I do have the “The Mark of Zorro” (1919) loaded up as a next possibility

Jon, I’ve started building lists on BlueSky, so I can focus on topics. I didn’t know which list to put you on, so I added you to three.

The Socialist Republic of Johnson County, Iowa, is going to build a wall around the county and deport all the MAGAs. We’ll make Trump pay for the wall!

Friends stopped over for a cuppa. I am even more excited than I look.

Supposedly, [insert ethnic group] rug makers make a design mistake because only [insert deity] can be perfect.

For you, Tom Tomorrow makes a typo because only the Flying Spaghetti Monster can be perfect.

My Kickstarter idea: The AI Leash©. With The AI Leash©, your dog is under control without intervention. You set limits for your dog: stay within set distance of you, return to your side when others approach, & assess other dogs’ aggression to respond appropriately.

My concept of a plan. (Ha!)
