• the signs in this ramen restaurant are simply sublime

  

• never kys

  

• baby’s first web app deployment

  

• a good thing to remember about “experts” is that they are definitely worth listening to and employing because of the fact they are experts, but their biggest strength is also their greatest weakness… they usually lack a beginner’s mindset and their years of experience can be a double edged sword

• tweets should be less than 280 characters, and political manifestos should be less than 280 words — luigi mangione gets it

• this why are.na exists

  

• it has been quite a year for the topic “assassination” on google search data

  

• i hate that a key barometer for whether or not i’m interested in someone romantically is whether or not i have some degree of anxiety around the wording/styling of their text messages

• a lot of traditional/institutional advice for how to be a better writer just boils down to “write more like a man”

• just rewatched Interstellar (2014) in IMAX for the 10 year anniversary, holds up very well

• Celebrating a year of playing tennis consistently by buying a new racket and shoes! 🎾 Over 130 matches played no matter the temperature. I can now serve consistently and with power, rarely double fault, and I’m good at adapting my strategy to my opponent/teammate’s play style.

  

• every social media platform needs some variation of this to be a part of the mandatory onboarding flow

  

• one of my biggest fears is accidentally being annoying to someone and not ever knowing

• adding “blue” or “sky” to the brand name of a 3rd party tool is like what happened with the iPod birthing all sorts of iDevices — it’s a necessary interim phase when name association is important, but likely won’t be an enduring convention in the long run if bluesky succeeds

• the second i learn to use a command line and a decent programming language it’s so over for y’all

• i have too many cool tech/software ideas for someone that doesn’t know how to code… i probably should do something about this eventually but every time i’ve tried my brain just doesn’t feel cut out for dev work

• there are so many cool trans devs on bluesky making free tools and shit that are actually good, and then there’s a bunch of cis dudes trying to immediately monetize the most run of the mill low hanging fruit

• nothing beats eating a big ol’ bowl of fresh berries

  

• i’m not an expert, but if you’re at the stage where there are lots of people and reputable organizations saying you’re committing genocide… then you’ve probably long lost the plot — even just getting close to doing a genocide is bad, so saying “we’re not there quite yet!” is just as damning

• we desperately need an indie open-source dating/friendship app with a sustainable and ethical business model

• Big update to skeet.tools just dropped! 🦋🛠️

  My hand-curated list of tools now has over 100 different resources that can make your bluesky experience more fun and effective! I truly believe it’s the best list out there, and I update it almost every day. No ads, no sponsors, just good content!

• my first camera from 2008 vs my current camera(s) in 2024
