Reminder that I’m mid move right now. Sorry for the wait if you’ve requested labels.

Dear Diary, 811. Is that the whole sum and measure of a labeler. 1000 likes, it seemed so innocent a dream. So simple, and just a matter of days or weeks. I was a fool. A fool with a dream to good-naturedly label shitposters and fuckers. Is that so wrong? Col. Bufus Yard Crow Commander, OoC

Dear Diary, The account likes are still in the 730’s. It’s been weeks. It feels we shall never see 1000 account likes to unlock the fucker and shitposter labels. I fear I shall fail in this and have to retire to distant lands with my head held low in shame. Col. Bufus Yard Crow Commander, OoC

I've been thinking of discontinuing the euro-zodiac labels, actually. No decision yet.

Ok, I think the label requests are caught up, with exception of request for fucker or shitposter, which will be released for use when the account hits 1000 likes.

Hi Everybody. At my computer, but also very tired. I promise to catch up a bit on labels tomorrow, and gentle reminder that the system is such that it's much easier if you tag me at @patri.xyz for labels, but no need to re-tag, I will catch these up.

Thank you to 610 people who have liked the @yardcrow.com account. Likes don't matter, except they make me feel a little appreciated, and show that more people are learning of yardcrow positivity labels. Also, I kinda locked myself into not unlocking a few labels until I reach 1000. Help a guy out?

New @yardcrow.com labels, by request, for ♿📣 Adaptive Advocacy ♿🎽 Adaptive Sports ♿⚙️ Adaptive Tech By request or recommendation (will confirm if not a category already mentioned in bio)

thanks to everyone who participated in the halloween labels! I'm not automatically removing them, but also not adding them anymore (until next year maybe?) please let me know if you want them removed. it's NO problem, and will not hurt my feelings.

You love to see it. Nice to meet you @creatorlabeler.bsky.social!

With the understanding that a @yardcrow.com cookie does not always hit the spot, you may now award your friends a tomato or mushroom. But only 1 of the 3! I don't know why. I just make the rules.

Reminder: you should go to @pronouns.adorable.mom and @yardcrow.com and at least click subscribe (it's a labeler not a $ subscription lol) and that shows you labels on people's accounts if they have them set Definitely set your own if you want too!

New @yardcrow.com label drop. Available by request. 🤫🙉 NO No Advice Zone. This account does not want unrequested solutions in replies.

Four new Halloween @yardcrow.com labels available, for a limited time. One per account. By request or recommendation. 🕸️🧛 Order of the Vampire, 🕸️🧙‍♀️ Order of the Witch, 🕸️🧟‍♂️ Order of the Zombie, and 🕸️🐺 Order of the Wolf.

Welcome to the labelerhood, @nfl.sickos.club! Visit them to get your NFL team label!

Some confusion to clear. I don't get notification when you subscribe to labeler, and process is not automatic. If you've subscribed and are waiting for label, apologies. You'll need to request labels, be recommended, or interact with me (@patri.xyz). It's not the typical labeler process now, I know.

I’m out of town this week, and the mobile labeler experience is sort of crap, so I appreciate your patience with label requests.

@alf.schlongalaxy.space is the first recipient of the @yardcrow.com 😈🏅 Hellthread Veteran label.

If you're looking for a dedicated horoscope labeler, there's another option! bsky.app/profile/zodi...

Hi @lafeeverte.bsky.social! Thanks for looking out for folks. Unfortunately, @yardcrow.com is not that kind of labeller. If you see someone WITH a @yardcrow.com label acting in opposition to that label, though, definitely feel welcome to report them to me :)

The 'appeal' function doesn't do a great job of notifying me, so please do reach out via chat or @ if you've asked for a label to be removed and I haven't reached it within a reasonable period (few days, tops). Again, no explanation needed. If we're mutuals, I might ask, maybe.

Just a friendly neighborly shout-out to @pronouns.adorable.mom for providing a lovely self-service label experience, which I am jealous of, and will probably ask how to replicate (not for pronouns though! get those there)

Let's put a number to the often requested unlocking of 'shitposter' and 'fucker' labels. I'll allow people to request these when the service reaches 1000 likes. That should be enough that most people will understand they're not derogatory in nature.

The most efficient way to recommend someone for a @yardcrow.com label is (after you subscribe) to 'report' someone, check 'yardcrow' as the service, select 'other', and then write in the label you'd like them to get. Obvs this is to report OTHERS. Msging and tags of Yardcrow or me do work also.

I've mentioned before that I'm happy to provide a @yardcrow.com AWAY label if you're going away for a bit. In the same vein, if you're going to de-activate your account temporarily and would like me to post something on @previously.blue, that's available. Your call if that's desired and useful.

I’m glad people are still generally liking @yardcrow.com labels. Still not automated. Please help it grow by nominating accounts. In particular, nominating people for labels you already have is very well considered. Especially kindhearted. I don’t typically let strangers ask directly for that one.

Have added a new @yardcrow.com label. "📋 Jobs?" "Account owner is seeking work or commissions. Inquiries welcome." This is available upon personal request. (I'd consider recommendations if the person has already identified it in their bio, but envisioned as something people ask for themselves)

My condolences to the friends and family of @mrwaltershapiro.bsky.social and @stephenstreat.bsky.social.

Hi @theythem.press, you've been recommended for the Eldritch label. Is that something you'd like to have? This is a label account that only applies complimentary labels, and eldritch is one I like to check with recipients on first.

I’m on vacation this week. I see your label requests, and appreciate them. I’m fulfilling a few, but won’t be caught up until next week. Thanks for your understanding.

You'll probably notice a slower pace in responding to label requests. For requests for people that I don't know personally, there will be extra review time. It's a good and necessary thing. Please don't spam requests. Spam will not speed up label applications.

Releasing an abbreviated set of RP Character class labels. Expecting that this might be something that is expanded on at a later date. 🎲🏹Fighter 🎲🪄Magic-User 🎲🗝️Rogue 🎲🛡️Cleric 🎲🍃Druid

Labels anyone can ask for or 'report' others to receive. 🚬 PUFF (kiki/bouba status rejection) 🍪 Cookie (everyone deserves a cookie) ♏ Astrological Sign 🧧🐍 Animal Zodiac 🎲 CG Character Alignment or a hundred others, but first you have to subscribe!

With the latest update, you can now subscribe to 20!!!! labellers, and you probably just dropped 2 this week anyway. Just saying.

Anyone who has received a maker label for sewing, needlework, quilting, or similar, is welcome to request the addition or change to the threader label.

If you don't like one or all of the @yardcrow.com labels applied to you, or have questions, please reach out. It's never a problem. Messages are open here or on the labeller account.

The vast majority of @yardcrow.com labels are available upon request, but a few are limited to a selection basis. I appreciate everyone's patience with this, as it ensures that they are useful to others and not purely ornamental (though they are all mostly ornamental).

The current icon is temporary, just trying out some formats before I make something more permanent. attribution:

@distractedghost.bsky.social has earned the Order of the Crows label for dedicated service in recognizing the qualities and accomplishments of their peers.

Like more @yardcrow.com labels? Of course! If you'd like the very exclusive Order of the Crows label, all you have to do is submit 5 valid yardcrow label reports or suggestions and it's yours if you want it. Read the descriptions in this profile and remember these are about community and positivity.

I love finding label requests in posts to this account and my primary @patri.xyz, so keep them coming, absolutely. Working on onboarding some help, though, so want to remind everyone that you can also 'Report' someone for label. Report their account, not a post, and don't tag other labellers please!

As some have already noted, did a sweep of pending label requests this morning. If I saw it, the label is added.

Another way you can request @yardcrow.com label, #UglyDogs or any other, and you need to read this carefully 3x. Report an account BUT ONLY TO yardcrow, mark it other, and specify the label. Not required to do it this way, but it's another option to send word. Obvs works on OTHER people, not self.

Ok, I think I've caught up on #UglyDogs labels, but let me know you've subscribed to this labeller and still don't see it

If you're running an Ozone instance and want to get some insight into your data, please watch out for #OzoneInsights where I'll be posting some of the postgresql queries that we use internally at bsky.

Hmm, going to have to see how this pfp does in that scale.

No weapons are more potent than brevity and simplicity. - Katherine Cecil Thurston Which is to say, I mucked with the @yardcrow.com DnD alignment labels to match the shorter titles I'm standardizing on. (these, like the astrology labels are not assigned, only requested, let me know if you want)

Ok, I've had a most excellent suggestion to add wrestling kayfabe labels to @yardcrow.com specifically, face and heel. Any other label suggestions within this milieu?

Have you opened chat to 'anybody'? Well damn, fearless, might as well tell the world with a clip-clop label then! *only available upon request, supplies are limited, probably

I guess I can't subscribe to myself (the Yard Crow labeller?) That seems screwy.
