I like to keep up with what's going on in the world, from social topics to science, from politics to conflict.

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋
On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

Welcome to everyone new to Bluesky! Here's a short (illustrated) primer that explains how Feeds work and offers a few steps you can take to get the content you want, when you want it, on your terms. There are sports feeds, Gift Link feeds, community feeds, and more! A 🧵

Mõnikord on mölapidamatusest ka kasu. Täna oli seminar, kus kui kaasa räägid aktiivselt, ei pea kirjutamise osa tegema. Ei teadnud teemast väga palju, aga piisavalt + ajalooline taust, et jätta asjalik mulje. win

Jeebus ma pole varem pärast reisi nii väsinud olnud 💤 Oli väga tore reis, aga mega intensiivne töö ja sotsialiseerumise osas. Ma harjunud kodune hermit olema :p

For some reason the revelation that I actually live in a condo(minium) and not an apartment has my mind completely blown. Like in my brain condos are some fancy places. Come to find out the difference between a condo and an apartment is who owns it.
In Estonian there is just "korter".

The moment you are so tired of everything that has happened and disappointed you in your life in the past 3-4 years that you much prefer to read about things that are negative from the get-go rather then be possibly disappointed again in something you like/enjoy.

In bed and almost falling asleep when I got a sudden craving for potato chips. Now I am weighing if it is worth having to brush my teeth again... I am also very comfy under my blanket. But damn I want potato chips which I actually happen to have in the kitchen

I very much want to continue my Stargate re-watch, but doing it outside of a vacation would me just bingeing through it and never sleeping. My work will definitely appreciate it, not

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

Honestly, so am I. I am genuinely sad about Twitter right now. I was going to say it feel weird to grieve for, essentially, a domain name and branding, but then I remembered Twitter was a place and an idea, wildly imperfect but even so, and now it's just so thoughtlessly... gone. It hurts.
I'm shocked by how sad it made me this morning.

Isn't a non-compete invalidated by the CEO's own words taken at face value?

When your body decides that you need multiple unrelated issues to happen at the same time... Instead of tracking things on paper, decided to get pill boxes instead. Look how pretty they are 😍
Gotta find my positive vibes from where I can.

when movies get deleted for tax reasons, they should legally become public domain. people should be allowed to upload it anywhere they want. that's the tradeoff you make if you wanna delete your own movie released this year for a few extra bucks, and i think it's fair
