Crowded metro commute today, decided to start a new read and stuck on the acknowledgments in Jen Pahlka’s Recoding America…

Insomnia is so much better here.

The way Bluesky is responding to the Drake lawsuit is giving me hope for this app.

@wshcommanders.bsky.social trying to make me a fan for the past several months and then…

I know there is no algo on this site, but I am getting a lot of corgis in my feed suddenly 🤷‍♀️

Thankfully it’s Saturday, where joy is sparked by kids trying to kick field goals for cash and @db3-tip.bsky.social and the Buffs are playing. denvergazette.com/sports/color...

Ok what’s the most overrated thanksgiving food? I will start. Turkey.

Every restaurant table should have a hook underneath so we can put our bags there.

Refugee serial reposter from that other app, now here with my first post!

We need to keep Bluesky weird and good because I don’t think I have another ‘social media migration’ in me

I am now instinctually opening Bluesky instead of Twitter on my phone. It’s such a relief.
