@brockpierson Then you, my friend, are missing out on a lot of fun, and feels.
Your choice, gotta respect it !

@Psychedelkickz @brockpierson Nowhere did he state, muting smaller accounts.
English

@brockpierson Weird… Just yesterday you were saying in large caps, “STOP IGNORING SMALLER ACCOUNTS ON X”! And now today you’re saying you muted a bunch of them, what gives⁉️

@LoveGrowingVeg @JessicaDoyle @_donutninja Cultivars of plants are man made. Many cultivars produce less nectar and pollen.
The wildlife knows best.
Pretty much why I switched to native plants from a reputable source.
English

@JessicaDoyle @_donutninja I believe it’s due to the different structures of different flowers are suitable for different pollinators and timing. That’s why it’s important to plant native plants. Just because it looks beautiful to us doesn’t apply to the critters.

First few years we lived here, no bees. Only wasps. Over the past 6 years I’ve planted berry bushes and seeded the backyard with clover, flax, wheat, rye and buckwheat. Add in the garden, when we plant one, and year over year the past 4 years the bumblebees have returned to our yard in ever increasing numbers. This year I’ve even seen a few honey bees. Keep planting things friends.

@Renatta @McJuggerNuggets oof the last sentence-
"GOD sent you a blessing, and you destroyed it"

@McJuggerNuggets This is incredibly sad. Your child deserved a chance at life. Some of the sweetest and most wonderful people I know have Downs Syndrome. God sent you a blessing, and you destroyed it.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

@AunySillyMe the sweet spot is posting what you’re curious about, not what the algorithm wants.
English

your post doesn't go out to a random crowd
X has an embedding for your account that's basically a compressed summary of what you usually post
then it has an embedding for every user, built from what they usually engage with
it shows your post to non-followers where those two embeddings overlap
when your topics jump around → your embedding gets fuzzy → the overlap shrinks → your out-of-network reach drops
when your topics stay close to one pillar → your embedding gets sharp → the overlap expands → new people find you
If you post the same things every day, you become boring to your people
Best to find a balance between pleasing the algorithm and audience and what you love doing
What’s your topic of choice on X?
English

"when your topics stay close to one pillar ..."
Thats me, im the pillar.
"If you post the same things every day, you become boring to your people"
My people? The choice is theirs, if i am boring to them...👋🏻 kbye
"Best to find a balance between pleasing the algorithm and audience and what you love doing"
Pleasing the algorithm and audience is like riding two horses at once. I love to ride horses, one at a time.
"What’s your topic of choice on X?"
The bio is a tell tale sign.

@ShirleyImMilk @NoNonsenseND Same, why the "angry" face...uhm thats my face. Pursed lips, and a furrowed brow - im on the poster for RBF.
99% of the time im super concentrated on a task, thought, or maybe the person who said the comment shouldn't be projecting or judging.
English

@SherylWithAnEss @NoNonsenseND I've been told I'm intimidating. That I look mean. Fine whatever. I tell people that's just how my face rests. I won't lie and say I haven't leaned into that before. I will also say I'm not the best Buddhist 😜
