Returning from the (nearly) dead

So, I've been absent from this and just about every other journal. A couple of my blogs have gone so dead I can't log into them!

But as Dylan sang so eloquently, the times, they are a-changin', and due to Mark Zuckerberg's perfidy and right-wing support for the utterly worthless Rumpty-Dumpty, many people are leaving Facebook. For similar reasons (perhaps even more than Zuck), they're also leaving X (formerly known as Twitter), because Elon Musk is a Nazi shill and a truly evil man.

Mostly they seem to be going to Bluesky, which is more Twitter-like, including the character limit.

So...um...I'm not always long-winded, but when I'm writing passionately about important things, I tend to be. Day to day goings-on, I can do short-form. "driving to Endicott and saw a fox" is pretty short.

My ponderings on the accession of the modern-day Hitler to power in America are longer.

I do not know if I can do what I'm thinking of doing from this site, but I will try. I'm going to try sharing links to longer posts in Bluesky, and see if people can then come and read and interact here.

This is a test post, so there's really not much in the way of meaning to it - but if you got the link at Bluesky and were able to come here, let me know. If it lets you comment - leave one. If it doesn't, and you have another way to contact me - send a note and tell me, so I can see if I can adjust the settings.

Thank you!
