2. I've created an account on bsky: bsky.app/profile/ebassi.bsky.s — still unsure as to whether I'm going to use it much

I've been on Twitter for 15 years, but it's been increasingly untenable to stay there; I thought I'd keep the account alive (without basically any content outside of likes and retweets), but even that proposition has become just a chore, and a silent endorsement of Space Karen Clown Car.
