My version is knowing that if there’s a fire I’m gonna need to rush outside without any clothes on 😄

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Some more photos from the Paris trip with @adamcr.bsky.social , we’re recovering from jet lag a bit today 😅

The image shows two smiling adults posing closely together for a selfie. The person on the left has short dark hair with some gray, a beard, and is wearing a black shirt with a gold chain necklace. The person on the right has wavy gray and dark hair, a beard, a septum piercing, and is wearing a light-colored knit sweater. They are leaning their head against the person on the left. The background features a blue wall and a partially visible framed sign with cursive writing.

The image shows a tall stone bell tower of a historic building, viewed from a low angle looking up. The tower features light gray masonry with long vertical windows framed by columns and decorative stonework. Near the base are three arched stained-glass windows surrounded by detailed carvings, including small rounded protrusions and textured stone patterns. The upper section has multiple vertical openings separated by cylindrical columns. The sky behind the tower is clear and pale blue.

A man with short dark hair, a trimmed beard, and glasses is sitting with his arms crossed in a grand, elegant room with ornate chandeliers, golden details, and painted ceilings. He is wearing a brown T-shirt and an Apple Watch, looking slightly to the side with a thoughtful expression. Soft light illuminates the room, and several people are seated at tables in the blurred background.

The image shows a scenic view of the Seine River in Paris during sunset. In the foreground, a stone bridge spans the river, with cars and a blue double-decker bus crossing it. The water below reflects the soft golden light of the evening. Behind the bridge, trees with autumn foliage line the riverbanks. In the background, the glass and steel structure of the Grand Palais is visible, with the French flag flying at its peak. The sky is clear with a warm, orange hue, giving the entire scene a calm and picturesque atmosphere.

And photos of a fancy date night dinner @adamcr.bsky.social and I went to at Hestia in the 5th Arrondissement

The image shows a person with short, closely cropped hair on the sides and longer, wavy gray hair swept to one side on top. They have a neatly groomed beard with some gray in it and are smiling slightly. The person is wearing a black, textured, button-up shirt with a collar and two gold chain necklaces. They also have multiple piercings, including a gold septum ring and earrings. The background appears to be a bathroom with light-colored walls and a mirror.

The image shows a small amber-colored glass vase holding an arrangement of dried flowers and grasses. The bouquet includes wheat stalks, soft orange bunny tails, and small clusters of pink and orange dried flowers. It is placed on a white tablecloth next to a black lamp with a round base, which partially blocks the view of the vase. The background is softly blurred, showing a warm-toned indoor setting with a tan or wooden wall and a neatly set table. The lighting is warm, highlighting the textures of the dried bouquet.

The image shows two men taking a close-up selfie at night in an outdoor setting. Both are smiling warmly. The man on the left has short, light-colored hair, a beard, a septum piercing, and is wearing a black jacket with a gold chain necklace. The man on the right has short dark hair, a beard, glasses, and is wearing a dark blazer over a blue shirt. In the background, a softly lit historic-style building with multiple windows and dark rooftops can be seen, along with groups of people standing around. The sky is dark, suggesting it is nighttime.

A restaurant dining table is set with gourmet dishes and elegant tableware. In the foreground, there is a textured ceramic bowl containing a seared fish fillet with crispy skin, served over a creamy white sauce, garnished with small broccoli florets and bright orange vegetable purée dollops, topped with delicate shredded carrots. Behind it, a plate with a slice of bread in a black wire basket and a steak dish with sauce is visible in front of a person wearing a dark blue sweater. The table is also set with wine glasses, a water glass, a butter dish, and salt and pepper mills, with a white tablecloth and a small floral arrangement on the side.

A mini photo dump of some of my last day in Paris with @adamcr.bsky.social

The image shows a section of a beige, slightly weathered wall featuring street art. On the left side, there is a pixelated white creature resembling a Space Invader, made from small square tiles with two black squares for eyes. To the right, there is a colorful artistic depiction of a classical-style statue head, painted in pink, yellow, and black, with abstract and mechanical details on half of the face. Radiating lines in light pink and gray extend outward from the head. The lower part of the wall is rough and patched, with faded paint and remnants of old posters.

The image shows a picturesque urban street scene viewed from the top of a stone staircase. On the left, there are several tall, narrow residential buildings with classic European architecture, featuring balconies with black wrought-iron railings and potted plants. A large tree with green and slightly brown autumn leaves partially frames the right side of the image. An old-fashioned black streetlamp is in the foreground along the stairs. The stone steps lead down to a cobblestone street lined with parked cars, pedestrians, and a small outdoor café with tables and people seated. The street continues into the distance, flanked by more buildings.

The image shows two smiling individuals sitting outdoors, seemingly in a park or garden area with trees and greenery in the background. The person on the left has short, curly, gray-streaked hair, a beard, and a gold septum ring. They are wearing a light beige knit sweater and a black strap across the shoulder, holding a wrapped sandwich or pastry in one hand. The person on the right has short dark hair with some gray, a trimmed beard, and is wearing a dark blue jacket over a black shirt with a thin gold necklace. Both appear relaxed and happy, enjoying a casual moment together.

The image depicts a lively cobblestone street in a European city at night, lined with restaurants, bars, and cafés illuminated by colorful lights. On the left, a café with red chairs and tables under a canopy of string lights glows warmly. Neon signs in red, yellow, and blue advertise live music, crepes, and cocktails, including one that reads “Music Live Temple Rock Tavern.” On the right, more eateries and bars are lit by hanging lamps and neon signage, with a yellow “Happy Hour” board by the sidewalk. Pedestrians stroll along the street, including a man in a white shirt and dark vest walking toward the camera and a couple in light jackets walking away from it. The cobblestones reflect purple and blue lighting, adding to the vibrant nighttime atmosphere.

After five days in France, this post made me wonder if I’m just starting to see/hear everything in French 😂
