Still catching up on everything from the past year. If I missed something from you, feel free to DM me and let me know 🙃

I don't consider myself a morning person, but I love being up before anyone puts demands on my time or attention, and before the day's pace gets frenetic. The day is still full of possibility ✨

Is there still no way to toggle / hide labels on posts? It's wild they take up half the screen, but I don't want to unsubscribe from all labelers or turn off every label individually just to make feeds/posts/DMs tolerable to look at. So much visual clutter.

Oh wow, almost a year since I've posted on here, minus a couple weeks. What can I say. I'm busy, and everything is exhausting 🙃🥲

I should get a Gold Star ⭐️ every time I resist the urge to reply 'lol, lmao even'

Halp! I'm in the organic non-gmo bee-pollinated solar-powered vertical farming rabbit hole again 🍓

A good read. This is where we are now; 'late-stage social media' is exactly the way I've been describing it. I don't believe we'll ever recapture the magic of our long gone internet, bc the nature of novelty is ephemeral; it wears off. And yet, I'm always hopeful new ideas are waiting to be born.

Genuinely surprised it took this long for a story like this to be published.

OpenAI whistleblower was found dead 😟 "Balaji argued OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT. If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company” www.dailylocal.com/2024/12/13/o...

I really wanna watch the new Beetlejuice movie soon, but also wanna wait to be in a better headspace so I can actually enjoy it 🥲🖤💀

Thanking my past self for all the meal prep I did. Good job, me! ⭐️

Does no one remember that it sucked way before Elon? Specifically Trust & Safety, in fact. Obvs, he made it exponentially worse, but it was already a Charlie Foxtrot way back when. Lost count of how many trolls/nazis I reported that never got suspended, while accounts fighting them did. All the time

What's really baffling to me is why anyone thought it was a great idea to replicate Twitter's Trust & Safety. I remember it sucking there too, like... 😒

I’ve been giving folks grace and professional courtesy around this. But IMO this post alone should warrant an account, PDS level takedown, perma ban. I know the core mod team is aware of Kiwi Farms as @blacksky.app has received dozens of reports ourselves. And @safety.bsky.app takes those down

Blown away by @enderdito.bsky.social's UI/UX public feed - sticky notes detailing each step, clever chained logic with regexes, list memberships.. it has it all! Please check it out and remix it when you get a chance! www.graze.social/feeds/1851

For example, before the USDA took over regulating & labeling organic foods, independent industry-led organizations would certify and label with a seal, foods that met organic farming standards, and established trust with the public through transparency.

What I expect to see coming (and hope for to some extent if/when regulations across industries are stripped) is for companies to differentiate themselves by voluntarily upholding safety & quality standards.

Leadership means taking responsibility, not just credit. Leadership means addressing the hard problems, not celebrating easy wins. If you’re not equipped to be a leader, you need to step aside. We can’t afford for you to harm us this way. We are not metrics to celebrate. We are human beings.

She's 84. There are over a dozen other senators & representatives in their 80s in Congress, and more than double that amount in their 70s. While I wouldn't be opposed to them staying in mentoring or advisory positions, they are out of touch with the world today, and should not be making policy.

when i worked at a tech support call center, women received (sometimes explicit) rape and murder threats not too infrequently from angry customers. but we were told something could only be done if the customer knew/told us our location. otherwise, we just had to note on the account they were mad.

Thank you @jasooooon.bsky.social This is the most comprehensive coverage Blacksky has received yet Deeply grateful for @thezodiacheir.bsky.social and @drkalyncoghill.bsky.social for the deep expertise they bring to the #Blacksky team. And thank You if you're locked in with us and helping us build.

When I'm nodding off on a call

And they say violence is never the answer

I go through Ceylon cinnamon so fast 🥲 (don't use Cassia cinnamon, it's not good for you—high coumarin content can produce hepatoxicity) Fave is Morton & Basset Spice Organic Ground Ceylon Cinnamon (no glyphosate, lowest lead & cadmium). They also make the best (most potent) Bay Leaves.

This is very promising for other retroviral illnesses as well.

Luigi got them shook.

There should absolutely be a max age limit for being a member of congress, or any elected official tbh. Pelosi, like other crypt-keepers in chambers, routinely glitch out mid-sentence like they're being powered down. She needs to fucking retire already. All of them.

Just ban Singal. So many things are waiting to built by so many talented people, but instead everyone has to spend effort on this to make sure future effort is worth spending. This is isn’t even the brilliant asshole problem. Dudes a huge dummy, not worth the mental space he’s costing.

King tides are coming through the Oregon Coast again this week. Which, for me, means heading down early and finding spaces where people aren’t. 📸: Central Oregon Coast

oh hey that thing we said was a bad idea is a bad idea

I dislike trolls & bots as much as I dislike the tone police, but there's no solution that solves all problems; and the reason for this is that humans are the problem, as much (or more) as humans are the solution. *misanthropy intensifies*

Zuppa Toscana soup is so good 🤤

Streaming content is a lot like having a closetful of "I have nothing to wear"

Over 30 prominent scientists call for a ban on the creation of a "mirror cell"--a microbe made of molecules that are mirror images of their natural forms. It could cause a mind-boggling global disaster. Here's my story [gift link] 🧪https://nyti.ms/3OUCXp6

When I don't get real answers, I don't give any either 🤷‍♀️ them the rules. Lie, evade, omit? I follow suit. But why do ppl think I can't tell? 🤔

Sticking to the plan

Just because I don't call your bluff, doesn't mean I don't know your hand :)

This could actually be a real headline tbh 🥲

shoutout to UnitedHealth CEO for being so out-of-touch that every message to staff results in another wave of angry leaks and tipsters for me

I see what you did there. All the confirmation I needed.

The timing of Apple Health asking me to reflect on my feelings is so sus. It somehow always manages to ask precisely when I'm experiencing annoyance, distrust, anger, or sadness. Wonder what tells my body is giving away that I may be unaware of... 🤔

I don't often have to use Excel for much these days, but when I do, I'm impressed with how intact my muscle memory and recall are.

Some hospitals need a few of their claims adjusted 👿
