Haha yes Zuko takes breaks on walks if it’s too hot
Zuko, a small white and gray Schnauzer with a scruffy coat, lies relaxed on green grass under large shade trees. The dog wears a harness with a green leash attached and has its mouth open in a happy expression. The background shows a sunny park setting with mature trees and open grassy areas.

Omg twin
Zuko, a gray and white Schnauzer wearing a harness, relaxes on a patterned blue and white outdoor lounge chair on a wooden deck, tongue out and appearing happy. Beige pillows rest behind the dog, with wooden deck railings and a sunny sky visible in the background.

See the desktop web view here. You log in with your bluesky handle.
Screenshot of Rocksky music app showing the login interface. The right side displays a 'Bluesky handle' field with placeholder text '@<username>.bsky.social' and a pink 'Sign In' button below it. Text underneath reads 'Don't have an account? Sign up for Bluesky to create one now!' The left side shows a 'Recently played' feed with album covers and song information.

Y'all is this an offer letter?
Jay 🦋 and 1 other liked your post ⋅ 16m Jay I love the vision. We need better documentation and comms from bluesky that is consumer facing, not just for developers. Ik you want this to be a community driven movement, but Bsky can do so much better to uplift and celebrate those community voices. I will do community relations for bksy!

Musical Text
The Obsidian app on an iPad. The open note reads, with colored highlighting differing by sentence length:&10;&10;This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. &10;&10;Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.
