We’re now on Bluesky! Find us @meatzine.
I’ll admit, I wasn’t exactly itching to join yet another app, or join the mass migration from X. Adding to my endless scrolling time wasn’t high on my wishlist. And truth be told, I’m not entirely convinced Bluesky will steer clear of the same toxicity and negativity that plagued X in the long run. But hey, I’m weak, and here we are—I couldn’t resist.
That said, I’m genuinely excited about the potential for sharing my work more freely. Unlike Instagram, with its overzealous (and occasionally homophobic) content moderation, Bluesky feels like it could offer a space to post without inhibition. Lately, I’ve been so focused on what’s “appropriate” for the ’gram that it’s been near impossible to share most of the work I’ve created this year. Hopefully, Bluesky gives me a chance to break out of that mold.
So, if you’re curious to see what I’m up to, come find me there! For now, Bluesky will be my go-to platform for posting new work, though I’ll still keep the usual suspects updated.
Of course, the absolute best way to stay in the loop is by signing up for the Backroom Newsletter (right at the top of this page). You’ll get the freshest updates straight to your inbox—no algorithms involved. Do it!
