😍 I unexpectedly had a chance to see the aurora borealis last night. It’s been a lifetime bucket list item for me to view it, so it was pretty amazing to be able to do so from Colorado. #ColorfulColorado

Hey BlueSky: I interact with non-political, fun content, art, music, and nerd memes, and mushroom hunters (don’t judge)… so I can relax after the rat race I’m in: how’d that shape my “discovery” feed?

Do you care how a pod feels when you restart them?
Don’t restart your pods; understand them.
