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.

“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

Don’t suppose I know anyone at Discord that can help me help a friend who got an illegitimate ban?

The gate agent just told us we have 192 days of Christmas shopping left and I was so upset I had to share it along to you all.

Oh you gotta update packages? Reinstall your OS. It’s the only way to be safe. 😂

I have, and I’ve settled on a pattern that feels right. But first, I try to wipe off all water from my person briefly before the towel to ensure the towel goes farther. Then beard, as that still bears the most water and towel is still fresh. Then it’s a natural progression to torso and limbs.

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): 🧵

Both of my AuDHD kids had a first concert experience that was @alyankovic.bsky.social and both were 7 when they saw their shows - different shows though. Absolutely phenomenal. Loved the experiences. So so good.

I am irrationally excited. I’ve wanted a new Stuntman for ages and assumed it’d never happen.

Honestly, I quite liked it. Lotta fun. Like a supersized Mando episode with a bigger budget. Good times.

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’ve not heard of this and been in tmux for like … shit, 13-14 years? May need to investigate.

I look forward to your review!

whatever this was got removed, and I'm kinda bummed - I'm also curious what's up with fly.io based on this, as they came up tonight while I was trying to sort out the tiniest bit of hosting for an app

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. 🥰

It's taken me ages but finally, put together _something_ of a mess of a personal website again. Also can't believe I didn't think to do this with opengraph / favicon stuff ages ago. briansinclair.dev

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.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

I enjoyed working with you so, so much. Even if only for a few months, I’m so grateful for it.

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.

Brian Sinclair @brianarn.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I know we aren’t like friends or colleagues but I remember your joy at a thing or two I made on Glitch. It’s kinda nice to read this thread today as one of those impacted people.

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. ❤️

This is why we're moving to a nontraditional education approach - my children refuse to enter a traditional classroom because after a few years of trying to confirm, their AuDHD brains are just like "Nope, this ain't it" It's a lot but I can't force them, so we find a new path.

I'd sooner give up just about all other streaming services. I enjoy a good show and all but where am I gonna learn about the latest in 3D printers and woodworking and game reviews anddddd

I was pretty disappointed when I saw that.

one time in Skyrim, my kid killed a chicken in the middle of the night and was warned that they'd been witnessed they killed another chicken and were told that the witness had been slain maybe this is the sort of motivation for this example

I love it, and also as a resident of Albuquerque, it makes me extra happy. The bookstore in the opener is my closest B&N. The Sprouts is literally a half mile from my house. So fun on top of an already amazing show.

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.
