With X being a growing cesspool of fascist scumbags, a lot of people are finally moving over to the Bluesky platform. Of course, why people didn't leave shortly after Musk bought the company is beyond me. They only started trickling out of there a year and a half ago when Twitter started charging for the blue checks. There are those who voice objections to moving over to Bluesky because some evil dude is one of the major shareholders of the app, saying that it's just as bad as X. But that is really comparing apples and oranges (or mangoes and durian). Sure, one of the shareholders of Bluesky is an evil a-hole, but the actually owner of X is an evil a-hole who is in bed with the incoming "president." And said owner makes sure that the algorithm is skewed to elevate the voices of hate and disinformation. Nobody is doing any algorithm over at Bluesky. So please don't tell me the two are equal because that must be some sort of logical fallacy, or should be if it isn't. Luckily, as I mentioned, many have finally left X and moved over to Bluesky. One such group is Manuscript Wish List. Those of you who write might be interested in joining for the following event: I'm personally looking forward to it. My books with Penguin Workshop came about because my previous agent had found a call out like this from an editor on social media, so I'm hoping that I will find something of interest to pursue on #MSWL Day!
And, totally unrelated, but if you want to win a copy of my upcoming graphical biography of Bruce Lee, pop over to Heather Dawn Torres's interview of me about the Clouds in Space book! NOTICE: Because many blogs I follow also release posts on Fridays, I'm going to switch my postings to Wednesdays starting next week.
