I'm impressed with what the burgeoning #Bluesky has done since I signed up (in the "invite only" days). I've completed a few of the things listed here (custom domain handle, lists, etc.), but someday I'll dive in deeper. https://www.theverge.com/24295933/bluesky-social-network-custom-how-to
Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky

Bluesky offers a lot of unique features like algorithmic feeds and custom moderation that can make for a rich, in-control experience for users.

With #Bluesky’s ascent this last week I keep thinking of Above & Beyond’s “Blue Sky Action”, one of my fave. I was so lucky last month to hear it live with #Anjunafam & friends in #MexicoCity for #ABGT600

Thanks & welcome to all my new #Bluesky & #Threads followers today. Before Apartheid Clyde Musk destroyed it Twitter was my main news source. The alternatives weren’t as robust with journalist and news orgs. But this week, the #Xodus is starting to feel real.

At what point this week do we wake up to realize it’s a dream?
He was right: October was a long, tough year.

Today J.D. and I closed on the purchase of a 1927 Wiley G Clarkson Med-Rev house at 2749 6th Ave at Cantey St. It is in our same Ryan Place neighborhood about 1500 ft from our current house of 20 years.

It will be our first house in our 31 years together that is not a 1921 bungalow with a huge wrap-around porch. But we finally get that pool and garage.

We’ll soon embark on extensive redos of the pool (making it all volleyball depth) and surrounding hardscaping, as well as the kitchen, the 750+ ft garage apartment, and garage.

Once we get our things out of our current home (https://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/Details/5439003035) at 2420 S Adams, we’ll start some work on it, getting it ready to sell in early 2025, concurrently with our adjoining 75’x140’ empty lot at 2012 S Adams. We’ll also soon put up for sale the house across the street we own at 2417 S. Adams.
