Posting on Bluesky
I’ve set up an account on bsky.app
I love micro.blog - but it’s small and paid.
I love that I can use my own domain (jeremybaker.nz) as my handle!
And lots of other cool stuff about Bluesky:
The motivation to get and stay fit has been simple - I want to feel good and relaxed in my body. Looking good is a nice bonus. #mbnov
Getting up early, meditating and excercising regularly aren’t easy things to do - but the commitment required is itself one of the benefits of doing so, I’ve found. #mbnov
My morning ritual involves getting up at 5:30am, meditating, then either the gym or a run. Then shower and breakfast, and review the day ahead. Successfully kept this up for two years now.
I think we all need to work hard to retain our composure in the face of the many challenges and provocations we face. Not because we shouldn’t address those issues - but precisely because a well considered response is essential. #mbnov

The ancient art of barrel making, the work of a ‘Cooper’, has always fascinated me. One of many crafts we once relied on, but is now a rare and marginal skill. #mbnov #crafts
I’m very keen to leave the office today and spend more time in the sun.
Since it was pouring with rain again this morning, I had to adjust my excercise schedule; swap out a run for stretching. Probably a good thing. #mbnov

“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.”

I have “defederated” (deleted) my cross-posting to Mastodon from Microblog - not because I’m not enjoying Mastodon (especially the paid hosting model at Cloudisland.nz - but because it is becoming clear that, for me, the two spaces will involve quite different types of posts.
In Aotearoa NZ today, a “Minister” is a member of the governing Cabinet, with responsibility for oversight of one or more portfolios and Ministries or Departments. The religious use of the term is very much secondary; nearly half of all Kiwis now profess “no religion”. #mbnov
Achieving consensus in an inclusive and equitable manner is always a challenge; but it is almost always worth the effort in the long run. #mbnov
