We don’t have any of her scarves, but we get to admire Helen’s art every day. I definitely see the appeal of a portable version.

Ms 7 is making her album cover debut! She was Ms 6 when @tariqa.bsky.social took this photo of her with a weird cloud in Bali last year. Might look like a Pink Floyd album cover, but I promise there's only about 20 seconds of guitar solos all-up in its 33 minutes and 59 seconds.

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

I paid my student loan (a hefty $90k thanks to interest being applied from day one) and I would happily support a government paying off other people’s student loans. Just because I don’t benefit directly from the policy doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Let us all remember that the creator of the Morris Worm of 1988 didn't intend to infect 10% of internet connected devices in the world and the accompanying damage, but his poor design choices resulted in his legal responsibility for the outcome. Of course, he wasn't an oligarch.

“I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved…” 🥰

smokeinsilence:
have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it's no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don't
viridianmasquerade:
I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade.
Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won't talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend's parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone l've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
