Good morning bluesky An amazing October day in the San Francisco Bay area, sunny and warm I'm going to a dance class, hooray! What's something fun you're doing this weekend?

GOOD MORNING BLUESKY I did something kinda interesting last night. I left my laptop at work so I would not be tempted to log in first thing in the morning which means that it was really easy for me to work out and run before starting work today... and I FEEL GREAT hope y'all are having a good day

just a reminder that if you scapegoat the scapegoaters, they don't stop scapegoating, you just now have people who are actively scapegoating, who also don't listen to anything you say

good morning Bluesky! what's up? today is an amazing day for me, it's a piano lesson day. I have the best piano teacher ever - he's a classically trained pianist who went into jazz and tango and he knows both the classical rep and also all sorts of stuff about improv and composing. i feel blessed

GOOD MORNING BLUESKY and happy Saturday today is a day for long run by the lake with extra planks and a side of pushups taking kiddo to get fitted for hiking boots/shoes for hike appreciating nature hope you have a beautiful weekend

good morning bluesky! what up, what up? hope y'all are doing well. yesterday night, I learned to tie a bowline knot (again) at my daughter's Scouts meeting. what a trip... the muscle memory from when I first learned it was still there... hooray! what are you doing, this week?

Good morning Bluesky! What are you up to? Just had a piano lesson. Really fun. Working on some Bach. I absolutely love Bach. So rich and soulful. Sone of my favorite music to play. So many layers! What is happening for you today?

good morning Bluesky! what's going on today? gonna take my kiddo and her bestie out for breakfast - then I am going to make some shelves, all part of the Master Plan of having a place for everything, and everything in its place happy weekend to all weekend-enjoyers out there!

Good afternoon Bluesky Hope your weekend is amazing Big Low Rider parade in The Mission, dozens + dozens of beautifully painted + tricked out cars Feels like the heart + soul of America, TBH - how great this place is when everyone is allowed to celebrate their own contribution to the melting pot

Good morning bluesky! Happy Friday. Hope y'all had a good week! I'd like to invite you to share an accomplishment or step or thing that happened this week, that you're proud of. My "Step" is that I volunteered to assist with my kiddo's Scout troop. Woo hoo! oh - and 5/5 plank workouts 🔥 yay!

Good morning bluesky! What are you up to today? Huge Marie Kondo Day for me today. Big workspace cleanup. Sometimes you have to buckle down and start throwing out what no longer serves you. Also - day 4 of daily planking - hooray!

good morning Bluesky! what's up today I'm on day 3 of daily planking. it's easier than I thought once the routine is going... might expand it. taking kiddo to a Scouting meeting tonight - ah, nostalgia. So many great childhood memories of camping trips + hikes in the Colorado Rockies. Good times.

Designing walkable cities increases social interaction and consequently may improve social support and social integration. Increase in social support and decrease in social isolation are good for public health.

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs". (NM) - RIP Robert Redford

good morning Bluesky! what are you up to today? I'm up before dawn, getting ready for twelve minutes of planking and kettle bell. I'm thankful that I also have time for a dawn run before my fairly busy day excited about some new clinical assessment tools that I can use, to help my patients! hooray

Fi haraka, al baraka: In movement, there is blessing

good morning Bluesky! what's up today? happy Monday! I decided to try front loading some planking (the exercise) 1st thing in the morning. it seems like the best way to build consistency might be to make it a morning routine. I'll report back at the end of the week. Goal is 5/5 days M-F. hooray!

I read recently that kindness is the only virtue that can't be faked People pretend to be good in other ways all the time, when they're really not - But kindness is so evident that people instantly know if it's there or not

does anyone want to build an importer from www.community-archive.org to bluesky?

I've internalized this from years of hearing the great @prisonculture.bsky.social and other sharp people repeating it: No one of us can do everything. Pick your lane and do your best. Trust that others will pick theirs and do their best.

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us." so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

Using my first post on BlueSky to urge everyone to do the right thing today: Vote Harris. Bring friends. If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line.

do you ever stop what you are doing and give yourself a moment to appreciate how precious an opportunity, time is? having the time to choose to do something, the opportunity to follow through, enjoy it, and then come back to doing something else, before the day is over? pretty amazing, really

Hey what does "invalid handle" mean exactly? I'm a little puzzled by what I'm supposed to conclude from that

We are bereft: Steve Silberman has died. He was our dear friend, and a tireless and enthusiastic ally to our entire community. His book NeuroTribes enlightened, empowered, and educated millions about autism and autistic people. May his memory be a blessing. www.thesunmagazine.org/articles/249...

I feel it would be bad form to say this on Twitter, so I'll say it here Bluesky is now much funnier to scroll than Twitter, on a regular basis

The other funny part about the JD Vance thing is that the fake citation was for three whole pages in his book which nobody read, and everyone just assumed, yeah, he'd spend three whole pages talking about that, that sounds about right

Expand the Supreme Court on your way out, bro. Just do it. Die historic on the Fury Road

If you have read "Blitzed", you'll also know that a certain well-known infamous 20th century fascist happened to have a fondness for intense combos of uppers and downers, which were supplied by his personal physician

Man counterpoint is so cool You just, make a melody And then you find another melody but follow a few simple rules And then suddenly you have a whole new thing, vibrant and full of depth and dialogue 🎶 ❤️ 🎶

There needs to be a name for techno-optimism but predicated on wise context and community Like, tech tools are awesome ... But it's communities - and how communities choose to use those tools - that is the only real lasting basis for optimism (Not the tech itself, but the people it empowers)

Another really eye opening aspect of Silberman's meticulously researched "Neurotribes", is that he makes it devastatingly clear how often psychiatry and psychiatric opinion have been used as a cudgel to deprive people of their rights. It's ... infuriating, TBH.

Man, the book by Silberman, "Neurotribes", does a fantastic job of skewering the way academic psychiatry has always worked, without regressing into anti-science, in the process A gripping read about how progress in this field happens - (Slowly + obscured by everyone's need for fame or recognition)

one of the interesting things about being a therapist is that sometimes you offer a framing or an interpretation that you KNOW you've offered before; only somehow, this time, it actually "lands" + the person looks at you with that "aha" look and you KNOW something has changed ...

Expert wilderness firefighters sometimes start a small blaze, to provide themselves with a pocket of burned out shelter, from a larger encompassing blaze In the same way, you can start a small discourse and insulate your timeline from an out-of-control Discourse

Where are all my neuroscience-y social science-y psychotherapy people at today? I'm reading The Matter with Things, and it is straight up taking my understanding of humans to new levels, might thread it at some point

just thinking out loud here: what if there was s-thing like Twitter/X's "community note" but for crowd-detection of bots you just tag an account as "probably a bot" ... but they're tagged as such, ONLY IF critical mass of concordance (to prevent ppl abusing it to tag ppl they just don't like)
