If you want people to use Mastodon, make it usable. Not everyone has the time or bandwidth to climb that learning curve like you do.

Hey, you! Yes, YOU. Stop and take a deep breath. Any tension in your jaw? Let it go. What about your shoulders? All tense? Let them melt away. . . . You done? Ok, cool, bye!

Audience peeps! Join me this Thursday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. EST / 11 a.m. PST for a free virtual workshop with @lenfestinstitute.org. We’ll explore how to use generative AI for qualitative audience research so you can uncover patterns, emotions, and motivations without drowning in data!

I kinda wasted my brainpower yesterday thinking about tariffs on Colombia when I should’ve been paying attention to the DeepSeek revolution happening right now. Priorities, right?

If you speak Spanish and are into investigative journalism that digs deep into Latin America’s most pressing cross-border stories, you should follow @elclip.bsky.social. I may be a bit biased but our work is 🔥

I feel truly sorry for people losing their incomes as I type this. To me it just means I’ll be reading more books… thanks to the US tiktokers who recommended them to me. I’ll miss those folks.

I guess this is what people felt like in the seventies or something. I’ve been waiting for a USPS package from LA since December 6th. It got to my country on December 9th and was finally processed. Today. Next time, I'll make sure they use FedEx 😩

Watching US and Chinese users interact on Red Note feels like an ethnography field trip. It’s fascinating to see how digital spaces like this become cultural crossroads, and how shared UX design can bridge gaps faster than any (unlikely) diplomatic effort ever could.

Not exactly how I envisioned my last vacation weekend, supposed to be relaxing, but here I am, tracing down my favorite US TikTok creators before the app gets shut down over there.

It’s still wild to me that one of the factors I consider when choosing a new city in Colombia is whether it’ll have secure water access in the coming decades. In a country so rich in water, the fact that this is even a concern says a lot about where we’re headed.

1/ The past 24 hours in journalism-audience-land have been a lot. Everyone’s talking about Meta axing their fact-checking efforts, but have you seen what The Washington Post just did?

Very mindful, very demure.

I always feel a little embarrassed when I’m in Brazil, and Brazilians switch to Spanish or Portuñol for me, but I can’t reply in Portuguese. Sometimes we even end up speaking English! Looks like I’ve got an early 2025 resolution. Time to commit to Duolingo.

I spent the past week in Brazil with the open data community talking about our collective future and how might we face it together. Super inspired. Take a look at Latin Americans whenever you need hope. #AmericaAberta #OpenAmerica

Whoaaaa, this IS a throwback!! 🌞

If you’re using ChatGPT’s voice note feature and your assistant keeps cutting you off, channel your inner IRL Miranda Priestly and tell it to always wait for you to finish. My new favorite phrase? “That’s all.” lol

New side project unlocked. Not so new, really. And not a pet project at all. Latines out there know this is a vecindad 💗 I just want one in the Colombian countryside with my friends who meditate. ⛰️🌴🌳🏡🏠🌳🌴⛰️

Oh my, I don’t think anyone’s ready for my undying love for equinox colors near the Equator or how I’m still low-key frustrated I haven’t visited the tepuis yet since watching 🎈Up🎈 Also, if you’re feeling nostalgic for 2010s internet vibes, check out this quiz thingy 😆 blueskyroast.com

Also, stop comparing yourself to people with generational wealth 💗

Every week, another cool person I lost in "the shuffle" on the other site shows up here. @sarahseeandersen.bsky.social is here, and my experience just got better!

This conversation between @francescadumas.bsky.social and Mattia Peretti on user needs hit home: it’s time we move away from journalism’s traditional ivory tower mindset and focus on building genuine, authentic relationships with the people we’re here to serve.

@carolynporco.bsky.social We don’t know each other, but your voice was one I started to miss when the algorithm changed on the other site. So glad to see you here!

@andalalucha.bsky.social bienvenida 🦋

He went back to his regular look.

Was thrilled to have @meredithmeredith.bsky.social of @signal.bsky.social on #IfYouWereinCharge - talking about #privacy online, #surveillance, #AI & profiling in warfare. Wish she was in charge to right the wrongs. open.spotify.com/episode/2FEl...

As if I needed more reasons to love Bluesky. THE @meredithmeredith.bsky.social and @signal.bsky.social are here with us y’all!

huh, turns out coding is not some magic profession, immune to basic supply and demand dynamics, which can absorb infinite workers with no effects on wages or employment. no one could have predicted www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/b...

AI reflects the people behind it. It doesn’t have to be a cash-grab machine pumping out low-quality junk. It can streamline meaningful processes and create tools that actually make a difference.

Is the last week of November secretly the universal "finally squeeze in all the meetings we’ve been meaning to have" week?

Journalists & reporters, I would your love ideas on the best way to get your peers here. We’re building the infrastructure for global conversationbut with the openness and tools that allow you to create your own experiences upon that infrastructure. Build with us.👇

I had no idea @aftermath.site exists. It looks so good. This is the type of social internet I was craving for. <3 you Bsky!
