Looking forward to mindlessly scrolling a feed that isn’t polluted by hate speech and infuriating misinformation. 🤞 Mostly here for fine tailoring, historical costuming, banjo music, poker world scandals, and chihuahuas in sweaters - say hi if that’s you!13 Jan 2025 17:05 +0000at://did:plc:ttonmxmyhv3pp3ecdv3rgjbr/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfn7uhhqf22q
