i thought i was shy and awkward and insecure my whole life now i'm in a place where i love giving presentations and speaking in front of cameras 😭😭 so happy to be who i am now (not that i love the former shy girl i was any less)

being on this site as a student who craves academic validation is so fun. what do you mean i can just post my silly little thoughts and some incredibly cool professors will like them or even reply sometimes. like hi hello did i do good am i getting an A in bluesky class

received an email informing me im on the dean's list, experienced academic euphoria until another email 6 hours later informing me of all the thousands in fees i owe them and how they're suspending my blackboard access etc etc so yeah im at a bit of a loss

why not let workers die in the office, too?

being kind and patient isn't my first instinct, particularly when everything is burning down around me, but that's exactly the same reason it must be done. i will not allow myself to fall into patterns of cruelty and harshness

spending your childhood sitting in the comfiest of positions only to later discover they all give you back pain is one of life's greatest betrayals

overdosed on starter packs and may have followed too many people... hi hello i swear i'm not a bot... no you don't have to follow back... will trim down the following list later based on interests and so on

if i followed you for seemingly no reason: hi! i'm trying to cultivate my bluesky feed, specifically following people with similar interests in the arts and humanities who i can learn from :D

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

’tis true that we are in great danger, The greater therefore should our courage be.

embarrassed to say i took the notion of "the history of western philosophy consists of a series of footnotes to plato" too seriously and never progressed beyond the greeks in my philosophy self-teaching journey.. have to make another reading list: descartes, kant, hume, hegel, and soooo much more

i still want more mutuals/friends here, so please interact if you enjoy/post about any of the following! — books (classic literature!) — philosophy (especially greek) — cinema, film, movies — everything academia related — history #promosky

'The Office' was pro-office propaganda whereas 'Severance' is the realistic show about how being at the office makes you go insane

One underappreciated aspect of Dutch urbanism is the care and attention to detail around lighting. This includes the thoughtful way buildings are lit to enhance their beauty, streets are lit to increase road and social safety, and seasonal accents are added to battle the long dark nights of winter.

Because I think we could all use a little good news right now

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...

for me so far the difference between twitter and bluesky is that... on twitter im continuously annoyed because everyone is so stupid but here im continuously nervous because everyone seems so smart...

ME READING ANY LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR STORY: if I were one of these villagers I would simply not give my soul to the elder gods. lol dumbasses you deserve it ME RACING TO COMPLETE MY DAILY DUOLINGO BEFORE MIDNIGHT: if i do not pacify the owl by midnight it will turn on my friends and family

intro post!! im nav, 22, & i'm looking for like-minded people with similar nerdy interests: 🌟 cinema 🌟 literature 🌟 philosophy 🌟 science (especially biology) 🌟 history 🌟 academia unsure of how bluesky works, praying this reaches the right audience #filmsky #booksky #philsky #langsky #promosky
