Had been thinking about creating an account here and Ryan's movement over here was the push ... am going to be kind of sad, in a weird way, that the couple of months of periodic (or constant?) checking of the tracker has come to an end.
Good time again to thank everyone for the support here on Bluesky, even/especially those of you who didn't necessarily want to have to create an account on a new site to keep following our project. We've enjoyed Tracking here. Thank you!

Was in one of those last week, kind of wish I'd tried this.
I am in one of those "reply all" work email situations (huge email list and many "please take me off the list" reply all responses since Monday).
Reader, SOMEONE HAS NOW RESPONDED: "Respectfully, you are an idiot." Can't wait to see how this turns out tomorrow.

Some people saw a leader and role model. Some saw a tyrant who crushed all opposition. The truth is more complicated. RIP, Florence Henderson, who died this week in 2016. (Yes, I stole that joke but have no idea who should get the credit.)
Some amazing, retro food commercials in my feeds this week. This one may take you back.
