I bought carbon credits for the first time in a few years. I used terrapass.com because a friend recommended it and its projects are verified by various verifiers. Its carbon footprint calculator was odd, so I used the EPA www.epa.gov/energy/green... plus co2.myclimate.org for air travel.

I'm curious if anyone I know has gone through the authentication procedure for Bluesky. As I understand it, you somehow link your handle to your website domain. There are multiple steps and I don't know if they are worth taking.

After laying off most of the lecturers in the College of Liberal Arts at San Francisco State, the dean invited them to a holiday party... and asked them to bring the cookies.
