Like, look at this...Goodreads/Story Graph/Fable + BookFusion/Google Play Books/Kobo/Kindle + Audible/Libro.fm = everything I've ever wanted in an ebook and audiobook app. And it's by a company I am proud to support and give money to??? Do apps and services like this even exist anymore? #booksky

There is, quite literally, nothing good about how Ted Cruz operates in his role. A truly garbage senator.

I don't think I can officially talk about it publicly yet, but the ebook app I am testing right now truly feels like it could change the social reading ecosystem. #booksky

“In some ways, Axon is actually worse than Flock,” EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told @indyweek.bsky.social. “Flock never had mobile license plate cameras, and Axon does. They install them on patrol cars, and that means patrol cars become like roving data vacuums.”

#Minimalism isn't the solution to any of our problems. It's the result of living a more disciplined, intentional life. Many of us are treating the outcome as the mechanism; the end as the beginning.

Trans existence challenges societal expectations. Stoic philosophy combats mental bloat. To me, it feels like practicing #Stoicism is a natural way for me, as a #nonbinary person, to embrace my true self, of becoming one with the Logos.

The most radical move in an outrage-driven feed is choosing tranquility, which Bluesky gives you the power to do. Refusing to react is an act of Stoic self-defense.

As I've been practicing #stoicism over the years, there's one small principle that's truly alleviated much of my anxiety: you don't have to have an opinion on everything, and not everything requires deep reflection. Sometimes you just have to let the noise pass.

True autonomy isn't found in constant connectivity, nor is tranquility found in passive comfort. It is found in intentional constraint.

I think there may always be a part of me that secretly wants Bluesky to be 2010-2020 Twitter. It never will be, so let's hope that doesn't keep me from seeing what Bluesky truly has to offer.

Ooooo and a Pixel "Mini" that's a non-folding version of the passport foldable using just the front panel. Like the Huawei Pura X View. Makes sense as an option since everyone is making these smaller, stouter panels in bulk now.

Imo, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 looks much cleaner than the iPhone Duo. I'd love a passport style Pixel Fold update next year that resembles Samsung's symmetrical design language over Apple's. But we know if Google drops a wide foldable, it will fall much more inline with Apple than Samsung.

Been actually giving Google Keep a run for its money...or should I say I can't stop using it now...? I like to try out all the major note taking apps here and there, and I haven't given Keep an honest shot in years. I'm dumbfounded at how useful I find it. It really is just seamless...
