One day, I hope to reach this level of complete relaxation. Bruce is just living is best life this weekend - food, walks, and naps all day. #lifegoals #pugs #dogs

That's a nice breakfast sandwich you have there. I also like bacon and egg and cheese and stuff. Can I get a piece? #pug struggles. #dogsofbluesky #dog
Photo taken looking down from a seated position on the face of a pug sitting at the photographer's feet looking longingly at a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin sandwich on a plate on a table at the top of the photo.

Had to relocate my happy pothos plant (the one on the left) from home to the office because wouldn't stop trying to grab and shred (not eat thankfully) it. I think it's doing well in the new environment. Picture of the culprit trying to look innocent. Cute, but it's not working. #pugs #plants
Photo of two pothos plants in pots sitting side by side on an office filing cabinet in front of a window. Photo of a small tan pug lying on her side on a cushion in the seat of an orange stuffed armchair. She is looking up at the camera with her one visible eye with an innocent "who, me?" expression.

@tuatha.ie we're planning a visit in June based out of Galway using your itineraries. Does this seem too ambitious for a long day road trip? Gleninagh Castle > Doolin Cave > Dysert O'Dea > Killinaboy Church > Parknabinnia Wedge Tomb > Poulnabrone > Corcomror Abbey. Suggestions along the route? TIA

It's Friday so the internet needs more #pugs. We visited friends and Edith got a Dolly Parton shirt to match her new friend. And they each got big pink hat toys. #pugsofbluesky #dogs #DollyParton

Mamma's in the bathroom so this goodest boy is guarding the door patiently like the conclave to select the next pope is happening in there. #pug #pugsofbluesky #dog
Photo of a closed door. A pug sitting up on his haunches with his back against the door looks toward the viewer with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth.

IYKYK. If you don't, do yourself a favor and search #Discworld at your local library and start reading. You won't be disappointed.

@linuxlibrarian.bsky.social made this sculpture of a person and tucked it in the garden. The squirrels have decided it's apparently good to perch on its head. #nature #art #funnysquirrel

Some days, you just don't want to come out from under the bed....

Feeling a bit that way as I wait for my delayed flight that I hope may still get me in to Boston before midnight.

Roxbury neighbors near Gerard St. should keep doors and windows closed to keep smoke out and please avoid the area. Our teams are monitoring air quality. If your building has an HVAC system, please turn it off until the smoke is gone.

@linuxlibrarian.bsky.social and I joined thousands on the Boston Common today. Photo of my favorite sign and a poor attempt to capture the scope of the crowd.

Participant at International Womens Day 2025 in Boston holding a handmade sign featuring a drawing of a cup of coffee and the text "I like my government like I like my coffee. Not in my VAGINA!" Photo over the heads of the crowd of thousands on the Boston Common for Womens Day 2025. It is a clear, cold, spring Day with people of all ages and genders bundled in coats and hats carrying handmade protest signs.

Karestan Koenen, Harvard Chan School professor of psychiatric epidemiology (@harvardepi.bsky.social) and an expert in stress and trauma, discusses the impact of the uncertainty roiling the public health field—and offers tips on how to cope.

Read the full Q&A: hsph.harvard.edu/news/coping-...
A beige-colored graphic features a quote in dark brown serif font from Karestan Koenen, Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology. The quote reads: “When people are dealing with threat, uncertainty, unpredictability, or something they can’t control, it can lead to psychological distress. But I know both from my own experience and from the research that if you can find meaning or purpose even within a difficult experience, it can help.” The professor’s name and title appear in bold and regular sans-serif font beneath the quote. The background includes subtle geometric patterns.

Dad, is that a hamburger you have up there? Some of us down here are starving because we haven't eaten since lunch. Do you want to share? #pugs #dog #pugsofbluesky

An interesting listen, as are most Cool Zone Media productions.

Here's the latest ep of my Cool Zone Media/iHeartRadio show Better Offline. I walk you through how OpenAI isn’t a real company - it's a VC-backed welfare recipient that spent $9bn to lose $5bn with its unprofitable, commoditized business.

Current events in the US have got me wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere. Anyone on Bsky able to talk about the realities of working in #publichealth or #environmentalhealth in places like #Ireland or the #EU?
