Sometimes the only thing standing in the way of your goals… is you.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Exactly one year ago today:

I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.

The original source has a lot more information about why things are listed the way they are, and at least part of it seems to be the number of professionals engaged in the craft. Its also UK specific. heritagecrafts.org.uk/skills/redli...

You might also try posting to a more specialized feed, there’s at least one for polisci: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Anyone can set up a custom Feed, and I’ve found them helpful for connecting on sort of niche topics (in my case, knitting and fountain pens 😁)

I joined Bluesky! Why? Because I need help getting a scan of something available at Duke, Yale, and the UC system. Internet, can you still do your magic thing? #newtotheblue

On the one hand, this is a stupid idea that will never work.

On the other hand, whomst among us has not desperately tried to get out of a meeting they hate?

watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station

Now that they’re safe on the ground we.. ocean, I can make a joke

OMG ARTEMIS IS IN TROUBLE WE’RE GETTING REPORTS OF A GIANT CAT BATTING THEM OUT OF THE SKY OH THE HUMANITY

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

when you're not a morning person but you get a morning person job, everyone tells you you'll get used to waking up early but i'm here to tell you that's a fat fucking lie

I recently went to the middle of Kansas for a week and the greatest thing I can say about it is that I did not see a single Cybertruck.

me: our cat is not eating dinner properly for days

wife: thats right

wife: we are v concerned

"The Pentagon is threatening to create an Antipope" is the funniest real sentence of this year I'm not sorry

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them
Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life
Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food.
Me: That's--Hold on,

Clearly very important Cat Business is happening

The only good April Fools joke was when a library posted a headline saying “Study Shows Literacy Problems BC People Reply To Articles They Didn’t Read” When you clicked the link “lol April Fools there is no article. Tell no one” Then people who had not clicked the link argued about literacy all day.

Now if you look at this chart *points to chart where line goes down* things look bad. But with one simple trick *turns chart upside down so line goes up* not so bad now right?
