I have returned to blogging pretty seriously in the last week plus. That began before my Facebook page was hacked but the free time has given me more time to blog. So has easing off of Duolingo and watching French movies on Lingopie which helps me with better listening skills. Even finishing my 5 holiday jigsaw puzzles has helped with time management.
And concentrating on the blog again is not my only new foray into connectedness after losing the delightful time sink Facebook. I have joined Bluesky the anti-Musk improvement on Twitter which I never paid attention to and Substack which I might even try to monetize once I figure out how to navigate it. This is a blow up of my cell phone’s screensaver:
You can see me dressed as Dorothy along with my better half the tin man with the Ap icons below our chins. Looking at it now I wondered how many times I’ve mentioned the “Wizard of Oz” in the blog. Up to now 19 times evidently.
Oh and this search function is a handy way to search my 35,000 blog posts for interesting items:
This is all part of my last summer’s ramping up of guarding against Trump by becoming his worst nightmare in Northeatern Minnesota. I’d like a longer reach.
(“Trump’s worst nightmare” twelve mentions so far.)
Feel free to search me out on either Substack or Blueskye and subscribe to me. I have a lot on my mind.
