Oooooh, this is the perfect time for me to go back to opening up BlueSky once-a-month, actually.

“I told the guys just do what y'all do, and I'll figure it out. I'm good enough to figure it out and insert myself in.” “He makes people around him better. That's why this is a fit.” James Harden’s first #Cavs interview and postgame reaction ⬇️

I'm really happy to have knitting in Day 1 of @blackinaflash.bsky.social + @gamesdonequick.com's Back to Black marathon! This will be available for about 24 hours between tomorrow and Saturday afternoon.

I’m on 3 hours of sleep heading to the airport. Another successful game night in the books— along with meeting up with friends from out-of-town, there were a few folks who bumbled in LAST MINUTE and ended up having a blast! Today, real work begins. (But I’m also on 3 hours so please be nice.)

I’m not going to let this bother me this weekend so I’m going to small rant now — I would very much like out of my current (main) job. Despite trying much in two years to move up within the company, today I’m told “we love what you do for us, we can’t pay you more, but we can give you more to do"

@somemorenews.bsky.social Cody do you have a favorite retro video game of all time, asking for a friend

The Yetee is proud to team up with @blackinaflash.bsky.social & @gamesdonequick.com to create official merch for this weekend's Back to Black speedrunning event! Joy and the GDQ crew are all here in the new collection, with a portion from each sale going to @raceforward.org! theyetee.com/backtoblack

Not exactly excited on where this takes us, I will need serious convincing via performance before I’m on board

THIS WEEKEND IS GONNA BE DOPE @raceforward.org IS DOPE AND ALL THE PARTNERS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE DOPE AND FOR YOUR HELP, WE’LL DUB YOU ‘DOPE’, TOO SEE YOU ON THURSDAY 💜✨
