Pelican waking up from a nap #birds

it sounds hella cheesy/corny, but we really gotta focus hard on cultivating hope and resisting slipping into hopelessness... it's one of the most vital things we can be doing right now

i’m a big fan of holding space for multiple things to be true at the same time, highly recommend giving it a go

This one was quick and a bit loose but I think there's something there.

“The subject is interesting. The interviewer is credentialed. They agree with each other at length. Nothing is at stake. No one is surprised. You finish reading and feel vaguely full but can’t say what you ate….You know people are doing interviews to accumulate symbolic capital, not insight.” @om.co

@justinmezzell.bsky.social you tried building a new Digg without the compelling differentiator of being an open social app. Now try building on the AT network! You have to give up control over users' identity+data but you can build a great app and make money at scale: bsky.app/profile/jaco... GL!

Someone should be trying to convince Kevin Rose and the people building the new version of Digg to build on AT protocol. Reddit needs to be replaced and nothing would improve the new Digg’s chances like being an open alternative. They’ll have serious funding so will have the best shot by default.

Just as we're learning about the end of DM encryption on Instagram, Moxie announced he's integrating Confer's privacy technology to underpin Meta AI. Full circle—the architect returns to implement encryption at scale on a new platform. Chapter two: exciting to witness, though it feels strange.

@toni.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team @ma.tt @pfrazee.com I’d love to hear if you envision some sort of Wordpress integration. I dream of a world where we have an easy way to publish and manage our own content; sovereignly! Wowza, I feel like a Wordpress PDS or an atproto CMS is where things get bonkers!

Beautiful golden light through the forest.

WE FOUND IT! We trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests accessible only under permit for this: Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower, and we watched it open by night. Magic.

Playing around at the coast last night.

A couple snaps from a Redwood adventure this week.

if you can't embrace the fact that you suck at a thing and keep being bad at it until you get good enough that you stop being bad at it, you'll never get good at anything

it's impossible to get good at something new without sucking at it first

"edit: never mind, i figured it out"

Not the worst place to watch a sunset.

Anemonoides blanda, the Balkan anemone, Grecian windflower, or winter windflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae. The species is native to southeast Europe and the Middle East.

That first full view you get of the Tetons hits so hard. 🌄

Sometimes you just need a sunrise and an exceptionally large spider to remind you that the world can be a beautiful place. 🕸️

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

For the first few moments of sunrise at Shiprock, the long dike cutting vertically across the landscape catches the golden glow of the Sun, casting a miles-long shadow upon the land to its west. The Sleeping Ute sits in the distance.

These weren’t all big hits, but here are my favorite mushrooms of 2024

We don’t believe in saying Happy Holidays here. In this house we say “Yippee kiyay, motherfucker.”

Dear Santa, You didn’t get me the thesaurus I asked for and now I’m mad. You made me really mad. I’m mad at you

I’m having a conversation with my mom about something I want for Christmas and a week later Santa gives it to me. When will we pass privacy regulations

Proud to have designed the logo and icon for this app 🦋

yes, i ended up taking over devops for… a private cryptocurrency network. how i kept the important stuff on me while nomading: made USB earrings. one booted into Tails, the other was encrypted and held the master signing key.

A few more oak treehopper photos because they are my fav. I named this mama “Oakley.” Here you can see the development of her colony from newly laid eggs to second instar nymphs. Look at the size difference between mama and her babies. 😍
