Been a busy girl tapping into the poetry community on Bluesky. Research tells me that it is decentralized, but privately owned, not sure how that works. My understanding, and feel free to expand on this, is that there is no algorithm controlling what you see. As far as I can tell, this is the case. Those that I follow are in my feed in reverse chronological order, same when you make a search. The searches I have made are poetry and haiku. There are a lot of poets on the platform and a lot of poetry readers.

If you are on Bluesky and looking to build your community, look me up and give me a follow. Drop a message on one of my posts and let me know you have come offer from #HIVE and I will follow you back. Just a small caveat: I am keeping my Bluesky feed exclusively for poetry and writing, no politics. I am on politics hiatus; who knows for how long.

Just click on the picture below and it will take you to my page. I am going to reiterate, bluesky is turning out to be a much better place for artys folks than twitter, threads, or even instagram. A lack of algorithm is a game changer.

Of course #Hive will remain my main home and I also post on #snaps.

Okay, I promised some poetry and spoken word. I made this recording originally many moon ago. Recently I gave it a sound make over, as best as I could, and moved it over to Rumble.

Words and Images are my own.
