On Tuesday night, you may have noticed something a little different on Bluesky. Here's a peek behind the scenes of how the election feed came together. Endlessly grateful for this collaboration with @wnyc.org/@gothamist.com & @bsky.app!

I finished Big Rock City from Magic Puzzle Company with original art by Annika Brandow.
I loved the art of this puzzle, and it makes use of some fantastic shapes for the pieces. A highlight in this collection for sure 👌

Just finished reading Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler. Just wow.

I attended an introduction to 3D printing at the Austin Public Library last night. It was fantastic and a very gentle introduction with a focus on 3D modeling in tinkercad.com. They are printing our creations—bat decorations for halloween—and I'll be able to pick mine up soon!
