No way, I only learned about "lostwave" from the Jukebox a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out @mtgallagher.bsky.social was involved in a lostwave track!? 🤯 www.last.fm/music/Two+Bi...

A bit of drama! #Scavengers squabbling at a Wildebeest kill. Jackals, Pied Crows, and a Vulture. #photography #safari #Makgadikgadi #Botswana #Africa

A vulture just taken off, wings outstretched, two black and white crows also taking off, a Jackal running towards a corpse of a Wildebeest where more Jackals are scavenging.

Last night! Patti Smith's book tour. She read parts of her book while talking about her life, and played acoustic versions of songs. It was personal & heartfelt, & made me love her even more. & she gave us all a copy of the book "Bread of Angels ". She is a treasure.

The most sci-fi of cats. 👽 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

A sphynx in a yellow turtleneck is sitting in front of a window so that her ear glows translucent orange-pink. She's holding up a paw vertically in front of her mouth, and the skin between her toes is also glowing, making her feet appear webbed. If you look closely you can see that the toe beans project out beyond the top of the toes.

Greatly relieved to hear you are being well looked after & good to see you back online. Man In A Barrel Syndrome sounds like the title of a new Octavius Guy novel with a medical twist. Is range of movement restored? Hope you make a full recovery. The Jukeboxers are rooting for you❤️

Just finished NK Jemisin's "The City We Became". Extremely good urban fantasy, that takes the "urban" part more literally than most - the main characters are avatars of major cities or boroughs! Excellent social commentary, too. Jemisin is so good! 😻 #BookSky

I really wish @bsky.app would sort this out. These pop up windows have been like this for weeks if not months, and it's making a mockery of #accessibility. Can't see to type my alt text, and I can't see other people's. Its all pop windows here, tho. I can't get to the button to share feeds, either.

A screenshot of a post on bluesky showing the alt text. However only the left side of the window is visible. The window just stops, not showing the right side at all. The remaining alt text and buttons are hidden. Also my keyboard covers my view of me typing in the alt text, so ironically, I'm typing this all in virtually blind.

A screenshot ofshowing how awkward typing altext now is for me.
