Marketing or mistake? Hank Green created an app, Focus Friend, with a character who knits. Then, he creates a video about knitting and physics which (understandably) sets off the knitting community. Reporting on the story nearly always mentions the app. Hank Green: provokes knitters, gains exposure.

It is snowing in eastern North Carolina. Growing up on the coast, we didn't see snow often and it rarely had any accumulation. As an adult, it still feels exciting and unlike when I lived in an area that had snow more often. No infrastructure = snow days. #snow #northcarolina

Without overwhelming #advertisement, time engaging here seems more valuable and well-spent. In addition, people share thoughtful, quality insights and spark #discussions. I hope the community continues to grow without sacrificing what makes it special in this moment. #bluesky #socialmedia

It is going to snow. It won't snow much or for very long, but snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. Like a child, I'm excitedly awaiting the first sighting of a flake. Where I live, it doesn't happen often and the joy of a snow day is special. #snowday

The wonderful dog that's shared my home for the past month went to his forever home today. I've cried. It was hard, but the right thing to do and I know his new family will love him as much as I do. I am not made for fostering. #dogs #adoptdontshop

I never stayed on the Tik Tok train. It seemed so chaotic and loud, which is not for me. I understand the attraction of the app, but it is hard for me to add to the conversation around current events. However, watching the responses to social media over the past year has been intriguing.
