Silk’s Ring Theory: The person most affected are in the centre. Their closest loved ones are in the next ring, then close friends, then acquaintances, and so on. When offering support, direct it inward to those closer to the crisis. If you need to vent, do it outward—toward someone in a bigger ring.

Today, I hold space for the lives stolen and the voices silenced—Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people who should still be here. (1/4)

I love the entirety of the Muppets on magazine covers that @riotgrlerin.bsky.social has created, but the Beaker ones live in a special place in my heart!

1/2 Loneliness, chaos, uncertainty—it’s easy to feel like we’re standing in the wreckage of something that once felt whole.

The world may be unravelling, but we don’t have to. Let’s build.

When you dress like this and they ask about the shoes, you know they’ve got to be fabulous!

Colours of the day Monday: pink and charcoal! #cotdstyle #vog_sandra #ootd #joyousdressing

Back in the office after a week at home with a cold and a bad back. My back is screaming at me. I can’t wait for my stand up desk to arrive.

ALT? What is that? Why does it show up on some images?

Short answer: Alt text.

The user has added a text description of the image so blind and low vision users can understand the image.

You can add it too you post by clicking the +ALT button on the image when you are posting.

Alt text is a simple way to help users. Bluesky will remind you to add it before you post. Please enable the setting!

I’m exhausted by the tug o’ war already, but I will continue to support the most vulnerable.

Colours of the day Friday: black and dollar signs for BLACK FRIDAY! #COTDstyle

No dollar signs, but my purse is made of money and my bracelet is faux Chinese coins. That’s gotta count, right?

1/2 Colours of the day: The Things You're Thankful For!

I’m thankful for #COTDstyle and all the beautiful, colourful people I have met on this journey to let my inner maximalist out to play!

Here’s to living out loud and dressing like the masterpiece you are!

If you need ANOTHER reason to support alt text, every time your kid looks over your shoulder and asks "What's that???" about a picture of a mushroom or a tree or a bird, you can just whip out the alt text and make them read it.

Sometimes I wish I could embroider, then I crumble under the weight of the stares from assorted abandoned crafts.

Ken: Can you make just enough chili that we eat it tonight and not all week? One batch?

DD: I only ever make one batch. Trying to do what you’re asking would leave half the ingredients uncooked.

And having dinner pre-cooked is a boon on a buy week night!

I guess we’re freezing the leftovers.
