I am saddened to read about the passing of Jean Grace Rather. What a beautiful couple and life well lived. May her memory be for a blessing.

I 💙 @bsky.app but it's hard to 💙 many posts because of the content and feelings of sadness 😥 and anger 😡 of what is to come and the suffering so many will face. But in the words of Jean-Paul Sarte, "Life begins on the other side of despair". Here's to the other side and have a good weekend all.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Happy and sad. Happy: our bougainvilleas had a late start this season but they are crushing it now. Sad: by this time of the year they should be getting them ready for the wintering in the greenhouse. #climatechangeisreal #gardening
