I took my cat up to the cabin this past week. As you can see, it’s going well.

This is Apricot. @dougwig.bsky.social is her human. Her personality is best described as purr purr murder. She loves attention and the other cats but can’t help herself and eventually pounces on anything near her. Lilly has never forgiven Apricot for existing but Apricot still adores her.

Happy Mother’s Day, @rosew.bsky.social . Our kids are very lucky to have you as their mom.

@rosew.bsky.social took our gray cat to the cabin. “She adjusted quickly, but was up all night and biting us awake.” A few minutes later, “did you unplug the hypersonic rodent deterrent?” … she’s much calmer now.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever been this relaxed in my entire life.

Did someone say pet hair is bad for butterfly keyboards?

TIL, the AT protocol discussed here is the open protocol for Bluesky, not the modem protocol.

I had wondered why everyone was excited to discuss modems again.

Bluesky feels more like the bird app than the bird app has in quite awhile.

From the date of this post, and the headlines today, I have evidence that my wife has psychic abilities.
I’m going to move my twitter thread on surviving a tech down turn here. (Note it is a year old so a little dated):

Having survived the first dotcom bubble here’s my advice for those worrying about the current tech hiring slowdowns / layoffs. 🧵(I’ll add to it over the day.)
