We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Headed to #asugsvsummit tomorrow to speak on student career success! First timer at the Summit - hope to meet up with the Bluesky community. Drop your session below. If you find me, I’ll have some stickers I got from the Bluesky team at SXSW. Please reach out!

For the next Austin meetup, curious if there's interest in a format focused on knowledge sharing (e.g., give everyone 5 min. to share a feature or thing they love about Bluesky). This could run from beginner to advanced. I could talk about starter packs or setting up custom handles. Thoughts?

Trying out a new Nongshim flavor tonight for a midnight snack 🍜

skeeting should be an olympic sport

Any followers going to the Yelp Galactic Giddy Up, Ya’ll event today?

Although I’m not officially part of the team - very happy to be a local Austin community organizer. If you spot me around #SXSW today, I’ve got some Bluesky stickers to give out!

Grandma Liu would kill it if she ever did a restaurant pop-up 🥟

Amazing seeing @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp at SXSW! Great pop-up store at the #SXSW Expo! This is open to the public on Wednesday 3/12. Wish I could have gotten an autograph 🙏🏼

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

At the #SXSW keynote of @jay.bsky.team and I’m irrationally excited

Live graphic recording of @jay.bsky.team SXSW keynote!

Every few years, we sign up for yet another platform just to keep in touch with our friends. Private platforms have locked users in for too long, causing a lack of innovation & competition in social media. Bluesky aims to fundamentally change this. Live in 20 min with @jay.bsky.team:

Howdy Austinites! Think it’s time to organize another meetup. With @jay.bsky.team in town for #SXSW, curious if the bsky fam would be interested in a meetup on Monday, March 10? Please reply if you’re interested and I’ll get a formal RSVP save the date going. Can’t guarantee she’ll join us but 🤞🏼!

Can’t wait!!!!

Is Mark on Bluesky yet? I tried to send him an invite code via X once…

Are we going back to hellthread era?

Back on bsky and missing @berduck.deepfates.com era

Hi Skyfam… still alive, just been busy with work and family this past year. Should we host another Austin meetup soon? Maybe when @pfrazee.com comes back to town?

Testing 1, 2, 3. Is @skyspaces.bsky.social still around?

SXSW roll call - it’s less than a month away! Who’s coming? Who’s presenting? This will be #12 for me - happy to answer questions!

Unfortunately, our proposal wasn't accepted. Would the bsky community be interested in a meetup during SXSW? @jamesjacksonleach.bsky.social would Mort Subite be open to hosting something during SXSW?

Hi bsky fam - been away for a bit. Work and fam got busy - just noticed I lost all my invites. Assume I missed an update related to this?

Thankful for the bsky community! It’s been a wild year and I’m grateful to everyone I’ve met through an Austin meetup this year! I’ve been a bit busy with work and family but looking forward to catching up with everyone at SXSW if not before!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

delicious things 🍜: Velvet Taco 🌮 has a fried paneer taco with tikka masala sauce that just hits. My other two favorites are the sweet chili shrimp and chicken and waffles tacos. Wish the waffle was crunchy - it’s soft but has a nice sweetness to it

delicious things 🍜: silken tofu with 💣 sauce. Didn’t add chili crisp oil to this one because I made it for my daughters but one of the fastest, tastiest things you can make

🤘🏼 Texas Fight!

Overheard my girls playing restaurant with friends: okay we have three customers, one in the restaurant. I’m the chef and you will be the DoorDash delivery person 💀

First time seeing Nothing But Thieves live at Emo’s. Impressive range of genres 🤘🏼 spotify.link/IEA9NxtPtDb

delicious things 🍜: mochi donuts! The yuzu and pandan ones were fantastic
