Celebrated Jāņi (midsummer) in Latvia this year! Bonfires and dancing till dawn, flower and oak wreaths, songs about Saule, the sun goddess, that are older than the churches. The Baltics hold a surviving piece of old Europe in living tradition.

it can build a completely subjective feed based on what you tend to like

Jay 🦋 @jay.bsky.team · 30/03/2026
A chronological feed is a simple algorithm that you are free to use, but the point of Bluesky has always been to enable algorithmic choice. From my 2023 blog post: bsky.social/about/blog/3...
Designing interfaces for third-party algorithm selection: We’re developing a feed selection system that enables users to explore third-party feeds and access them as effortlessly as their home timeline.
For developers, an open marketplace of algorithms will provide the freedom to experiment with and publish algorithms that anyone can use. Recent advances in machine learning will make it easy and exciting to experiment with new ways of structuring content.

Ok this is better. Have some ballads in there now. The sources show me what it's drawing from, and I can see what selection criteria it used in the control panel.

Pretty good for a first pass. Summary on the right shows me what I got in my new feed. But it's a bit too moss-heavy...
Moss, Ballads, & Green Lore feed
Pictures of moss, posts about medieval ballads and folk songs, and deep lore about trees, herbs, and plants — a feed for those who feel most at home in enchanted forests and ancient libraries.

Attie has one initial function: build personalized custom feeds. I love the moss feed, but maybe I'm in the mood for more variety. Show me "pictures of moss, posts about medieval ballads, deep lore about trees, herbs, and plants."

The ninth Duino Elegy is Rilke’s best work.
Why, when this short span of being could be spent
like the laurel, a little darker than all
the other green, the edge of each leaf fluted
with small waves (like the wind’s smile) — why,
then, do we have to be human and, avoiding fate,
long for fate?
        Oh, not because happiness,
that quick profit of impending loss, really exists.
Not out of curiosity, not just to exercise the heart
— that could be in the laurel, too . . .
But because being here means so much, and because all
that’s here, vanishing so quickly, seems to need us
and strangely concerns us. Us, to the first to vanish.
Once each, only once. Once and no more. And us too,
once. Never again. But to have been
once, even if only once,
to have been on earth just once — that’s irrevocable.
And so we keep on going and try to realize it,
try to hold it in our simple hands, in
our overcrowded eyes, and in our speechless heart.
Try to become it. To give it to whom? We’d rather
keep all of it forever . . . Ah, but what can we take across
into that other realm? Not the power to see we’ve learned​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​so slowly here, and nothing that’s happened here.
Nothing. And so, the pain; above all, the hard
work of living; the long experience of love —
those purely unspeakable things. But later,
under the stars, what then? That’s better left unsaid.
For the wanderer doesn’t bring a handful of that
unutterable earth from the mountainside down to the valley,
but only some word he’s earned, a pure word, the yellow
and blue gentian. Maybe we’re here only to say: house,
bridge, well, gate, jug, olive tree, window —
at most, pillar, tower . . . but to say them, remember,
oh, to say them in a way that the things themselves
never dreamed of existing so intensely. When this silent
earth urges lovers on, isn’t it her secret reason
to make everything shudder with ecstasy in them?
Doorsill: how much it means to a pair of lovers
to wear down the sill of their own
door a little more, them too, after so many
before them, and before all those to come . . . gently.
This is the time for what can be said. Here
is its country. Speak and testify. The things
we can live with are falling away more
than ever, replaced by an act without symbol.
An act under crusts that will easily rip
as soon as the energy inside outgrows
them and seeks new limits.
Our heart survives between​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
