CARTOON OF THE DAY

Lot of new folks showing up, too. Hello and welcome! Here are some tips that might be useful for keeping your timeline a little safer and more pleasant in these troubling times. Big hearts! gregpak.net/2024/12/20/b...

Curse of the Maths?

Pretty!

May we all live a life that elicits this type of eulogy. ❤️

Walking the walk.

Jen Rubin is a constant in the constellation of level-headed journalism.

As long as we’re renaming places, I’m renaming ‘Texas’ as ‘Old Mexico.’

You should be kind.

Dumpster fire.

Knowledge will empower…ooh, a cat video!

(slaps cinnamon and/or spice-flavored drink out of your hand) IT'S WINTER, BITCHES (shoves peppermint latte at you) (throws down red and green smoke bomb) (disappears, jingling all the way)

It appears like the honeymoon is over… 🤣

What’s that you say? Another invasion? I hope I can finish my book.

Just doesn’t seem right.

Tis but a flesh wound!

So much good information on wellness in this presentation.

I find your lack of Christmas Spirit disturbing.

Support independent games designers! We’re a robust community of storytellers.

This is our blueprint to resist the Trump/Musk Kakistocracy. Pass this on!

Very useful article!

Reposting so I can find it later. Seems an important skill for the apocalypse.

Fresh thinking.

Shut Up & Write! + ThinkLab at Cambridge. The Community in Writing Symposium was an exercise in how to bottle lightning. Intention + Empathy = The Magic.

Skirkle.me. Kute.

This post and the comments it has generated are why I’m finding this BlueSky moment so exhilarating. Discourse, good vibes, cat videos, occasional shitposts, with a dash of insightful politics? Yes, please.

England doesn’t have to wait for Thanksgiving/Black Friday to show its Xmas Spirit. It’s made this trip even more special.

I believe BlueSky has the potential to be a “mere belonging” locus. It certainly is in this heady beginning.

We can give them our pity.

BlueSky appears to have LOTS of extensibility! I saw an interview with the (33-year old woman) CEO who referred to “stacks.” Will have to look into this more.

I can’t even pronounce “combinatorics,” but I’m there for it.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

A window into @rellypops.bsky.social's brain and how she thinks about #shutupandwrite - this image rewards close attention. I like "think face" and "talk to self like a friend about academic writing" ❤️

Conference funding? That’s a thing? How wonderful!

A wonderful presentation on the impact of Shut Up & Write on the positive mental health outcomes of participants. I look forward to more studies! @jasonmurphy24.bsky.social

Proving, in this moment at least, that both of these things are possible. Make it so, Number 1!

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~ Bucky Fuller

I think this is a valid proposal for the Democrats.

Ribbit!

Viva good grammar!

A blueprint for a better future.
