Then pop - you’re doing it. It really is an amazing feeling.

I’d had that baby since June ‘16. It was an 8 year romance. We were so financially compatible. @monzo.com - no text, no call. I’m doing ok though thanks x I’m going to go back on the apps to look for a third-party solution.12 Dec 2024 09:16 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld3wqcn34k23https://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3ld2cjz57w222I left X even though I had 100k followers.

This might sound totally loco, but I've found it's helped me understand more about myself and helps me analyse my attributes against one another, drawing different conclusions. Would recommend!11 Dec 2024 11:40 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lczod2jr7k27https://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lczmosohoc2cNo sun in the UK at this time of year is a real mood killer.

I wonder how different the engagement would be if there was a simple chat box at the bottom of the timeline to tweet. People often say it’s like a big group chat. Push the UX more toward that so others “get it”.09 Dec 2024 20:52 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcvm6rqru22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lcn73u7vzs2bIs there such a thing as being a culturalist?

I picked up my coffee and started walking off. He exclaimed: “what are you doing 🤌🏻…we drink here” I burst out laughing and then had the best conversation with the barista who was from Nepal. Italians do it best.06 Dec 2024 12:17 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcn627mqjs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lckvbzeuq226A masterpiece https://open.spotify.com/track/39CFOvYse9fcMhIwyS73Fl?si=450bdb2df3384a0d05 Dec 2024 14:35 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lckvbzeuq226https://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lckmpezfgk26I have boundless love for everything at the moment and I'm really trying to understand how to harness it.

All I can say is that I didn’t think he was that good and was surprisingly small in stature. He look knackered too. I’m not surprised though, considering the current political turmoil.05 Dec 2024 07:20 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lck4xmkupc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lciglatgps22The Left Wing and The Right Wing. #digitaltownsquares04 Dec 2024 15:07 +0000at://did:plc:gotaeysgr74vbuuz6epmmnpf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lciglatgps22https://bsky.app/profile/mikegyi.bsky.social/post/3lcidwpmbck22I have a suspicion there are a lot of TWers on here.
