I needed a bit more precision when searching for Bluesky users, so I built this user search app - and ended up fleshing it out more than planned! 😅 Would delighted to hear if you find it useful. 🔗 bluesky-user-search.netlify.app

A screenshot of the "Bluesky user search" interface from https://bluesky-user-search.netlify.app/ with a search query for "frontend." The interface includes options to search within "Name/Handle" and "Bio," both of which are checked. There is also an "Omit" field for excluding terms. Below the search bar are seen results users matching the search.

Hades 2's fear runs do a great job of forcing me to use the other weapons and I've come to appreciate each of them in their own way. Except the swirly chaos that is the flames. Not that one.

Wassily Kandinsky was an avant-garde/surrealist artist who was famously targeted by the Nazis while faculty at Bauhaus, having his art and the school labeled as "degenerate art". What's perhaps more interesting is he could see sounds due to synesthesia (like me!) and painted that. More in alt 📝

The painting Composition 8 by Wassily Kandinsky, a surrealist representation of sound made of overlapping shapes and lines of all sizes and colors on a light grey background.

This painting is approximately displaying what is seen by those with synesthesia when listening to music. My personal experience is closer to stage light gel color filters or low opacity Photoshop layers with various translucent moving colored shapes. Very loud sounds or music can be so visually overwhelming that it becomes hard to see 😮

The painting Three Sounds by Wassily Kandinsky.

Various colored shapes are collected into patterns across the dark canvas with a large light crystal-shaped area offset from center that holds the majority of the details. An earlier example of his work, the scene comes together to look like a starry night above pine trees utilizing a wide range of colors to depict variations in sound tones.

The experience of synesthesia is an interesting one because the tie between sound and color is not only one way. Looking at his work I am able to kind of almost "hear" the music based on shapes and colors matching what I experience from music normally.

Bit of art history.. Van Gogh is known for his periods of tenuous mental health, but he was also just a coffee addict who lived in a small town in southern France and was a friendly curiosity to the local kids. More in alt text 📝

The painting The Yellow House by Van Gogh. It depicts a daytime summer street view of the house on the street in Arles in southern France where he lived and worked. On the right side of the painting is the start of wheat fields, famously the setting of his final painting Apple aptly named Wheat Field With Crows which was finished shortly before his death.

Van Gogh rented between 4-6 rooms in this house depending on the year, ground floor rooms for a work studio and upstairs as a living space. The fields are where he spent quite a bit of time, as did the children he included in the field in the painting. He was known to play along with them as they played bandits and would take long walks through the fields.

The painting Cafe Terrace at Night by Van Gogh. It depicts an outdoor scene at night with mostly empty tables and chairs set outside of the cafe, engulfed in the warm glow of the cafe lights. A few townspeople are walking down the street in the distance, somewhat obscured by the night.

Located in Arles not far from the yellow house he lived in, Café Le Soir was one of his favorite places to consume an absolutely unhinged amount of coffee. At times when he was unable to afford food, he would subsist almost entirely on caffeine.

Painted one year before Starry Night, you can see the way that he would later capture the night sky start to take shape above the city street's glow.

This cafe is still around today :)

I spend so much time with my head filled with code that maybe I'll make this an art history account, with just weird little bits of famous artists' lives or strange/interesting pieces throughout the centuries

If people are willing to toss $8/mo at Twitter for a blue check, they could probably just implement an account badge for subscribing here that does nothing and watch the cash flow in

Think we could use a reminder today that mental health is health and if you need a break for your health, that's totally valid

DreamWorks has made some dark scenes over the years and I still think the last plague in The Prince of Egypt is still one of their creepiest. I think it's the excellent sound design that gets me more than anything. It's so quiet yet exceptionally haunting.
