friend: what's it like on bluesky? me:

We have the sweetest little chicken. She comes inside just so she can lay down and nap beside me. 🥹

The tattoo was not the only souvenir I brought home from Austin. I feel absolutely awful.

Heading home with a souvenir from Mainstay Tattoo in Austin. 😍

Good morning! If you’re attending the 5G conference in Austin today, please pop by and say hello. I’ll be one of like 5 women here, anxiously sipping coffee in the back of the room.

PARENTS: So, are you going to give us grandkids? ME: [slowly pulling a long furby out of my purse] I would like you to meet Jonathan

big 💕 this weekend to everyone who had to be their own mom i love you, you did amazing

This weekend can be a really tough one for lots of us. I’m sending love to those without moms, those with strained relationships with their moms, and any one else who struggles on Mother’s Day and is bracing themself for the kinds of posts they’ll see everywhere tomorrow.

🚨Bluesky Advice🚨 Don’t be stingy with who you follow. It’s also ok to simply like a post. This version of the app is all about building community and finding like minded individuals. 

Bringing my IRL friends in here feels like introducing a significant other to my family. Will they like each other? Will everyone get along? I’m so nervous/excited

The passage of HB 23 to recognize October as Filipino American History Month comes as my friends and I are working on a pop-up exhibit to honor our elders. And the bill itself was filed by Rep. Genevieve Mina, who is Alaska’s first Filipina legislator in nearly 50 years. AND DURING AAPIHM!

The anxious urge to say "no worries either way" when you are actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way

Can we do a playlist thread? I’d love to know what others listen to during the work day.

Holy shit. The hellthread shirts are so good.

I can’t find an answer anywhere else, so I might as well try here: Does anyone know how I can transport a special needs chicken from Hawaii to the continental US? The only potential solution I’ve found is via USPS (seriously) but I’m worried she wouldn’t handle that well at all.

I completely forgot that I got caught up in the excitement of the moment and bought TWO different Hellthread shirts my first day on bsky. I only remembered this morning when I received notifications that they were out for delivery. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So many amazing opportunities to explore here. Rails camp on Oahu will be a blast. 🔥

People saying that the Allen, Texas mass shooter couldn’t have been a white supremacist because he has a Hispanic surname haven’t been paying attention.

and be white

I got a terrible haircut yesterday and will probably wear it up or under a hat for the next couple of years. It’s just hair and I know it will grow out, but if I can be honest, I’m really sad about it.

Season until my ancestors tell me to stop 😂

A lot of tech people seem to want to solve social problems through a purely technical lens. But, unfortunately, to solve social problems like “trust” and “safety,” you need to make judgements that aren’t purely technical. It requires choices about politics and society. There is no avoiding it.

🇵🇭 Filipino friends, I was serious when I said I wanted to learn more about you! Share a selfie (if you want), where you live, what you do, where your family is from.

Happy Friday, friends. I'd love to see more Filipino loveliness in my skyline. Let me know if I've missed any of us:@willproduces.bsky.social @jeddacp.me @jamesmaddoxdev.com @chzs.tk @Cropcircle.bsky.social @Maz.bsky.social @lovefromronni.bsky.social @Roslyn.bsky.social

I hear it’s selfie day! This was from ACL in October. I love Austin and can’t wait to head back there in a couple weeks for the big 5G conference. I’m always accepting BBQ recommendations.

Also… where Black people go will be where digital culture and social activism goes

This image of our Earth is a gentle reminder of where we stand, and as Carl Sagan said, "It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

it’s important for y’all to realize that this app is wild right now because all of you are posters. you’re probably not meant to meet each other in the wild without a cushioning biome of lurkers around

What a great list: I’m stoked to have a whole bunch of new AAPI accounts to follow. Thanks Eddie!

Presenting an exploration of Bluesky's network. Going to go over the community structure, evolution of the network, top accounts, etc. First, here is the high-level community structure with some labels. Hi res w/ zoom here: https://www.easyzoom.com/imageaccess/884cb1c001cd48e79aca92232bd24a04

On air and skeeting

what a fucking time to be alive

Buffalo win!

I’m one of those who takes scalding hot showers and gets EXTREMELY uncomfortable in cold water, so today was huge. After 20 years here, I finally worked up the courage to swim under a waterfall. I’m cringing, but it really was sublime.

Ya'll, Positions open for BlueSky: I encourage BIPOC, but most importantly Black people to apply to these positions so we ca have this app be good when its public: https://blueskyweb.xyz/join Please email [email protected] . Let's get the ball rolling.

We’re critterposting today! My old buddy, Tim, will be 16 this year. He’s such a good boy. My sweet chicken, Wonky, has a bulging eye and messed up beak, but a tender heart. Henrietta, the other chicken, was awful. Very loud and for a time only laid eggs on my husband’s pillow. She was rehomed.

Man, today was a good one. The breezes are back, I connected with some of the greatest people on here, and finally saw the new baby monk seal at Kaimanas.

I don’t normally share the smiling dolphin with people I’ve just met but I trust you

give ‘em to me; the bad old recipes

Foodie friends, please share something delicious you ate recently. These fries with spicy beef and gochuang aioli from the Honolulu zoo were epic.

the hellthreads are extended gutters and the gutters are full of shitposts and the accumulated filth of all their replies and hot takes will foam up about their waists and all the deranged will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper ‘No.’

I wish it was easier to find communities on here. Where are all the climbers with social anxiety that love tech?

Happy Aloha Friday! This morning started with an inspirational talk from the brilliant Vicky Takamine on the theme of movement.

i love how there is no drafts folder on this website. either share your derangement with the world immediately or let it fade back into the recesses of your mind

The pure chaos of this app is intoxicating

Help! Where is dark mode?

I love it here already
