@matthewcort.land's post basically covers all the best practices I know of to date (which also means I will no longer be buying Profi and will be switching to Azelastine / stocking up while I'm in the US/Australia where it's OTC/Pharmacist dispensed, it's Rx only in Canada): bsky.app/profile/matt...

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

really nothing better than being able to entertain friends with food and drink

Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.

Just saw a video go by that I would have been very interested in if it had been an article instead of a 33 minute video. Write an article!!

Metaphor of the day: “Like a screwdriver in the otter tank.” It is up to you to bring meaning to this in your life.

“When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we accept corruption as normal, we stop fighting it.” Grateful for @molly.wiki’s work every day, but especially today: www.citationneeded.news/it-matters-i...

Would recommend, excellent to work with & outstanding results! 🦦🦦🦦 #otter

There are so many ways to have nerdy convos with women that don’t include quizzing them on their interests. Yal be tryna turn this shit into standardized testing as opposed to just…asking simple questions. “Oh…you’re into ______? What do you like about it?” see how easy that is dumbass?

I sent this in a tiny break between calls without explanation, so let me be clearer: Publications are not reaching people they need to reach or converting those people to regular readers and subscribers by making especially the mobile experience a farcical clownscape that confounds understanding.

Hey aurora nerds (anyone with a camera who wants to see sky lights, phone cameras count), looking like we’re in for a possible treat starting Sunday evening North American time. Charge those batteries, download notification apps, find a local dark sky location, this could (could!) be a good one.

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

New investigation: After Oregon invested $20m for drug addiction services, counties spent the funds on prosecutors, sheriffs, police gadgets + cars. I got records revealing how law enforcement used $ meant for treatment, as providers face major cuts + patients are stuck on waiting lists to get help

It's international cat day, so probably time to share on here the story behind my profile picture. The cat in it is Napoleon. This is their journey from starving feral kitty to happy house floof. And this is why rescue kitties are wonderful. /1

AI vulnerability/bug founds and reports is a huge problem. Curl has banned the use of AI-generated submissions via HackerOne because none of it made any sense, and is a waste of resources and time. "If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time" hackerone.com/reports/3125...
