Happy Earth Day! 🌎 to celebrate, check out the @peoplingthepast.bsky.social Earth Month series! 🧵

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.

Embarassing.

Do I win? 😂

The early internet was weird and magical. Capitalism enshittified it.

Agreed 🐈

if you see this, quote with a pic of you in glasses

A black cat with green eyes looks up from within a shoebox on the floor in front of a closet

A second black cat with orange eyes stands atop a long cabinet beside a refrigerator

A white cat with brown markings stands in front of the kitchen sink, awaiting dinner

A brown tabby cat in full sleep mode, in a state of utter contentment

Every day is #Caturday

"We don't stink right now. We're the best team in baseball because of you... you're the reason."

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

A robot vacuum cleaner with a sticker of Mo from Wall-E. The robot's name, in the fashion of the movie, is Ro-Z

Ours is named Ro-Z, which began as the robot from the Jetsons as the origin, but this sticker was funnier so we changed the spelling to match the style of the movie 😁😂

two women are standing next to each other in a hallway with the words `` read the book '' . Alt: The caption reads "#read the book." During an interrogation, one woman storms through the door behind another and hurls a book at the face of a man handcuffed to his chair

While some people were legitimately helpful, others were...not.

Anyway, I have the party ideas I was after 😂

Made the mistake of asking te Threadiverse for help gathering ideas for my wife's birthday later this year. She turns 42.

You see where this is going.

Anyway I mentioned in my thread that, although I hadn't read the books before, I know the gist, and needed help converting that into party ideas

Third post in the Earth Month series is now live! Featuring Andy @acfox.bsky.social 😁

I've bought and tinkered with many bits and bobs of writing software. Scrivener is the only one that's really stuck.

For planning/outlining/tracking, an Excel sheet just hits right 😗👌🏼

😂😂😂

Oh no

I lived in an apartment like that when I first graduated from college and, being 6'6", could only operate in a third of the space 😂😭

They're getting in touch with union representation as we speak

A white cat with brown markings and a brown tabby cat flopped in front of a slider door

Totally didn't break the screen to get outside today. Nope, definitely not us #Caturday

This is how all books should begin.

The Backwards Knight sitting on a faded gray deck of wood, next to parchment that reads: "Orn: Not-so-shiny knight. Just wants some answers. On the run from his past. Likes long walks in the forest setting traps for mages. Hankers constantly for potatoes. Will always try to do the rig ht thing, but won't always manage it."

He's a ten, but he's got this really annoying habit of needing to be a hero.

(And, according to Laela, he's *very* stabbable.)

Check it out today and get yourself a classic fantasy adventure with some eldritch horror twists!
