Wikipedia turns 25 today! 🎂📚

To celebrate, we’re looking back at its baby pictures—some of the earliest captures of the site, preserved in the #WaybackMachine.

Take a nostalgic peek at early Wikipedia ⤵️

A big reason I prefer BlueSky over other social media platforms is its moderation system 🛡️. Although other platforms have moderation tools, BlueSky’s approach is far more effective and reliable. That’s why it remains my favorite 💙
@bsky.app Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful platform 💙

#RabbitAndSteel DLC "art hell" is almost finished; I've got maybe 5 more animations to do. Then onto building boss fights and characters.
I've been a bit quiet about DLC progress, but I'm still working hard on it!
My ambitions might have gotten a little ahead of me
