Beautiful black brindle mastiff-pit-boxer mix sitting on wood chips on the left side of the frame. She’s sitting under a cherry blossom tree in full pale pink bloom in Central Park - you can see a few building in the distance behind the tree out of focus. Her big brown eyes are saying “hurry up and take the picture already”.
Text that says: Lol. Bundees been on the pitch for 15 min and looks like he's fought at the Somme. Response: Absolutely terrifying look

A black brindle dog sitting up on the floor of a living room clearly staring at a treat the photographer is holding off camera just to the left. She’s got floppy ears and a white patch on her chest and is just perfect.

TIPS: MOVING FROM XITTER TO BSKY Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets —recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they'll know you aren't a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Content Filters (*2*) and Settings > Moderation > Advanced > Bluesky Moderation Service Find your friends from the hellsite using SkyFollowerBridge.com. Not perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following. Follow a few feeds related to your interests. Some generic ones I'd recommend: - Catch Up: kinda like a "best posts of the week" - Only Posts: to see no quotes/reposts, only new posts from those you follow - FollowersLike: to discover random things your followers recently liked Turn on "Show Posts From My Feeds" in Settings > Following Feed Preferences. This will sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. Block often. Don't interact with trolls, don't quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they'll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, "Subscribe" is an odd thing to name it, but that's how block lists work here). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications. If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Mix in more regular posts or quotes! It takes time to rebuild, and that is fine, but the best time to do …
