Wasn't sure how to make @neillcameron.bsky.social 's Chalky the Ghost Donut as a costume, but that's what was requested for halloween and I think this works :)

It's really cool to read something like this, and then see a system you work on helped make it happen!

Welp, apparently Outlook thinks I have 4.29 billion emails unread. Best set aside the lifetime of the sun to get through those.

“I love jazz, but not in a policy development sense.” Delightfully acidic column by Jen Williams on the scrapping of HS2 and the government's new list of 'illustrative' transport projects to replace it: www.ft.com/content/2161...
