Blue Sky?

13th August 2024

So … X (Twitter) is the main way that our 13K+ X followers know about new content on the honesterotica website, but like so many others we are very concerned about the direction that Elon Musk – ever more reactionary and unhinged – is taking the platform. Rosie hates the divisive and anti-libertarian stance of one of the world’s richest male chauvinists. So we’ve taken a first step towards opening up a new channel, on the decentralised open-access platform Bluesky – you can find us on Bluesky here. It hasn’t been plain sailing – so far we haven’t worked out how to include images in posts, but we will persevere, and will post all new posts to both platforms. If you’re also exploring social platform options, join us on Bluesky and we’ll see what happens.

Best of both?

13th August 2024

Free love?
