Our night jasmine plant working her magic

This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.

think it’s kinda healthy to regret life choices sometimes

sent. only took ~3 days 🤷‍♀️

ykw this is not fun anymore, I refuse to be terrorised by some made up timekeeper. loss aversion instinct has been milked so much im over it.

Anybody else see how this is kinda mafia-coded, or we don’t think like that anymore?

I’ve become such a good grown up, I don’t do late night movies with popcorn and noodles anymore. Tonight, we change that.

taking a short lie-down to prepare for that email I need to write

Farthest I’ve been from where I was born: N: Berlin, Germany W: San Francisco, US E: Shanghai, China S: Lamu, Kenya quite the footprint!

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Twitters full of screenshots from truth social, Bluesky full of screenshots from twitter.

You'd think all of this would drive another spike in users on Bsky and other alternatives, but I fear that everyone left over there is fully desensitized

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!

one of the more endearing human behaviors imo is "tell 'em i say hi." even with ppl we don't know sometimes, if they make ppl we care about happy and you know they're on the line you just give a quick little "hi". we're like birds, just constantly making little companion calls to each other

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

What makes me wake up every morning, cos these princesses will wilt if I don’t water them in time.

So excited to share this… join me in this Outlier workshop where I will be sharing lessons from my experiments creating data visualisations with AI. There will be some hands-on building!

Despite all my complaining about New York this winter, I freaking love this city 🫠

erm that's how generations work? without exception, everybody goes through the delusion that they're cooler than folks older than themselves. and then they learn.

I hatched this micro pet by going on 60 minute walks for ten days.

I’m not sure what i’m celebrating, some side quest, I think? But woah look at that! I’ve been coming back to this app 26 days in a row with no reminder notifications. You wanna build habits, get yourself a finch!

My cyclamen plant loves sunshine and is coming back to life

Each of my meals these last few days has taken >30 min to cook, and Im thoroughly enjoying having delicious freshly cooked food like this. Idk how to make this sustainable though, gotta learn some meal-prep techniques.

My mini-studio is finally coming together 😇

wrote a pitch to teach something that i have high conceptual knowledge of, but will need to work hard to bring up my instructional competence. to the very ambitious chandni of last month who signed me up for this - wow, thanks. the pitch got accepted and now I get to do all that work. delighted!

Needed this reminder!

If I hadn’t gotten familiar with how bulbs survive through winter, I’d have thought this is all fake

We must stop debating the value of a human life. We certainly shouldn’t allow the capitalistic fascists to dictate who has value and who doesn’t It shouldn’t be up for debate. The value of a life isn’t a spectrum. We all have intrinsic value regardless of occupation, health status, nationality etc

How lovely to see color like this after a long winter, despite being a cloudy day

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

#30DayChartChallenge - Day 10: Multi-Modal It's marathon season for many (good luck!) so I decided to have a look at last year's London marathon results for non-elite runners. The data was scraped with {rvest} and plotted with {ggridges}. #rstats #dataviz #running

Used this photo from my walk as a playlist cover image, turned out real fine!

Strong desire to turn my bluesky into a stream of consciousness journal

Clearly I spoke too soon

Every once in a while, one catches a view like this and feels compelled to contemplate the meaning of life

“From April 14-18, select UBC graduate programs at UBC Vancouver will re-open their applications for US citizens to be considered for Sept 2025 or Jan 2026 entry - they are ready to provide quick admissions decisions for these applicants“ #gradstudent #gradschool www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant...

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

found myself telling someone today: my name is pronounced chaandni - a as in calm, not angry hadn't thought of it before, just came up in the moment and... I really like it!

I feel like the thesaurus has not evolved a whole lot, google synonym search is so basic. Writers, wordsmiths, people who care about precise communication— what are your favourite thesaurus-like tools? + wish list features you haven’t seen in tools yet

today's win is not just 2 hrs of focus work, but stopping to take a break after the scheduled time. normally I tend to keep going till I'm wiped out -- so unhealthy, changing habits consciously this season. #smallwins

what sold this book to me: NYT called it disorienting
