Happy Tuesday – interesting updates from the Inkican desk include Bluesky and new business cards. Check out the business card below – feedback welcome – and then I’ll tell you what’s going on with Bluesky:
The business card came out of feedback from somebody who suggested I have some on hand. I wanted something dual-function as a way to introduce myself, and something I could deploy as an emergency kindness kit. Thoughts and feedback welcome – now let me tell you about Bluesky.
The decision to join Bluesky started – as usual – with Imugr somewhere in the vacinity. A discussion about Twitter and Nazis led to the suggestion that ‘Mastodon wasn’t the future.’ I thought to myself – ‘hey, let’s do some A/B testing and see which works better’ and created an account. You can now talk to me on Bluesky here.
I’m still firmly of the belief that the Fediverse is our future, but I’m not gonna get all weird about it. Kbin was supposed to be our future, so was Fedia – we all know how that ended. If people are engaging on Bluesky (and behaving themselves … not selling it off to a billionaire crackhead) then, fine.
That’s not all – I’m working on something else for the last part of November. It’s called Global Silent Book Club Week and it might be a fun way for everyone to read silently together. More details here and here.
So now we have a new way to contact me, BlueSky, and some fresh business cards for my future use if I ever happen to need them. May your Tuesday also be pleasant, meaningful and full of interesting conversations.
Write on!
