I wish I’d gotten into tattoos sooner in life. I got this feather on Friday. It has a lot of personal meaning and I absolutely love it. Tattoo art and application by www.instagram.com/xola.art who I will adore forever for being so talented

A vibrant blue feather tattoo on an arm, next to a crow holding a heart container in its mouth and standing on dice, and a super mushroom and fire flower. The feather spans the length of the other tattoos, which are stacked up the forearm.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

I saw an ad for a board game on Kickstarter today and thought “I don’t need that, I have enough that are similar” I’ve been feeling like a midlife crisis is imminent — is this it?? 🧐

I got my first tattoo today! It’s super nerdy and also has some fairly deep meaning for me beyond what I can get into on a social media post. So much appreciation for @xolasartstudio.bsky.social for such an amazing piece. 🥰

Whether slack and/or discord, the last few places I’ve worked had an ex-employees chat that we generally congregated in. This is the first time I’ve seen a news article written about one, though. #unprecedentedtimes #aitookmyjerb www.businessinsider.com/block-layoff...

Laid off by Block, reunited on Slack: Inside the 3,800-person 'Square Mafia'

Former Block employees congregate in an unaffiliated Slack group to share support, find new jobs, and trade memes. It's grown since recent layoffs.

It’s so weird to be part of layoffs that are like major tech news apparently and not like when it was Indeed, where it was just yet another layoff in tech. Weird to hear people debating it all and seeming to disregard the humanity of those cut.

Block was a really great place to work for the past four months. Unfortunately, I’m part of today’s 40% layoff. If you need an old hand at web stuff, who has staff software engineering experience at multiple international corporations, hit me up. ❤️

I am walking down the street at 10pm in Hakone, in Japan. It is mostly dark and quiet, and I am alone. I feel so relaxed and peaceful, a small reprieve to myself at the end of a challenging day. My final destination of 7-11 awaits, where I will get supplies to soothe my child’s cold.

I started a new job today, and it's kind of amazing the level of comfort that brings. I'd been employed for 22 years straight (ignoring weekends between jobs) and losing mine in July was jarring. However, it also seems like it was maybe the best thing for me.

I wrote a whole ton of random little experimental things using JS in like 2008, 2009, and I'm now working on creating a new personal website, and it's kind of a weird wild blast from the past to look at this code that had like, IE8 polyfills and jQuery 1.7 and such

Today is the first day that I’ve been unemployed without another job lined up since 2003. That’s a weird feeling.

Brian Sinclair @brianarn.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

I’ve made it through like … at least six or seven rounds of layoffs at various companies in my career. Never once laid off, somehow. Guess that streak had to end someday. Like today. If you need someone who’s been writing JS since the ‘90s and knows weird browser shit AND backend too, hit me up!

Can’t say that “call 911 to get my 9yo off my roof” was something I’d ever be doing but here we are. He climbed a tree to see if he could do this but without a plan to get down. He’s totally fine and honestly he enjoyed it. I can’t say I did, though. 😂😅
