A screenshot of the current Bluesky status page which shows "Some system down" and says "We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos" with a typo in the final word that should be "regions"

Spring in Morningside Park. Yesterday a volunteer clearing some weeds showed me and my 4yo a raccoon skull they found…
happy hunger games/NYC public school acceptance day to all who celebrate
It's a weird time in software/OSS when a popular project is merging "bug fixes" within 10 minutes of the PR opening with no reviewers, closing linked issues that contained minimal reproductions... and the PR didn't actually fix the bug 🙃
This year I think I’ll give mouth tape a whirl
Me, a lifelong mouth breather: “This could be huge for me”
My wife: “No, this could be huge for *me*”
In New York, an IV drip concierge comes to your apartment
Just passed an “IV drip lounge,” must be in LA
National Adoption Awareness Month, which is about promoting #adoption, begins today. none of the promotional material contains an answer to the following naïve question:
why does “give this child a loving and safe home” require “erase and rewrite this child’s entire identity”?
So much fomo 🥲 enjoy!!
Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.
The bus should have two senators
Looking for tips on how to self-publish an e-book (not for me) - any recs of “how to” posts out there?
the new york knickerbockers are the centerpiece of a 77-year study conducted by the CIA to see if i, personally, can be killed by watching the television
The Toronto skyline, with CN tower and Roger’s Center featuring prominently, and a small sliver of Lake Ontario on a sunny day as seen from the Netflix Toronto office.

Economics? In this economy?

A tall play structure for children in Mérida’s Plaza del Asta Bandera with a slide coming down from the third story, and a large Mexican flag waving in the background.
A child running on the sand on the beach in Progreso, Mexico.
Second last day in Mérida, Mexico and highly recommend a visit if you ever have the chance 🇲🇽 The people are warm, mid-Feb isn’t super busy and my toddler has loved exploring the city and nearby beach town, Progreso, by bus.
Just touched down at LAX, on Luka watch
my father-in-law emailed my wife a PDF... for conversion to PDF...... operating on another level 😤
NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

The season of parenting my wife and I are in: our 2.5 year old knows the phrase “I have to pee!” but hasn’t yet learned it does nothing as a bedtime delay tactic while he’s wearing a diaper
Just got back from London, a city whose residents I’m sure have a transit wish list, but where the trains arrived every 1-2 minutes during off-peak.
It’s a Saturday night at 7pm and the next Brooklyn-bound F trains at 14th street are arriving in 15 and 23 minutes. What a joke.
tweeting “just touched down in London town” like it’s 2008
Off to western NY to spend the weekend with nine of my kid’s siblings!
I love seeing other recipient parents (“RPs” as we’re known in the donor conceived community) speak about affirming/investing in relationships with their kids’ bio kin. I’ll be putting that into practice more myself :)
