Need more young women on atproto. When these fools come out we can just have a community list to block their asses 🫶 and just focus on celebrating each other.
POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

love when random posts make it into the @proto feed because of at-adjacent folks using terms like tangled, smoke signals, spark colloquially

after like 2 years of wearing barefoot sneakers i’m finally buying barefoot boots. my toes are tired of being sqooshed. the downside is that i have wide feet in the barefoot world ??? which limits my options

and for some reason everything is just black or brown. :(

How can I fund Lanyards app?
I need and value informed input from folks who understand accessing public and community funding, and have been down this path before.

any tips on how to wuicky visualize, modify, see changes and iterate on ui (mostly colors rn) that doesn’t make me wanna punch a hole in the computer?

ai is not the answer, i need a fuck around and find out method that doesn’t require reloading a browser or tediously going thru code

my favorite part of attending weddings is getting to servings of the dessert because we make sure my partner gets one, except oops he doesn’t eat desserts (ya he weird it’s ok we love him), guess i get two 😇
I’ve remembered how to spell Desert vs Dessert because some kid in grade 5 said “dessert has two S’es because you want 2 servings”. Thanks for your service, Christian, even 20 years later 🫡

If you’re interested in helping with ATlast, you can now contribute! I setup and tested two local dev environments, so hopefully you can just follow this doc to get started :)

finally cleaned up my safari open tabs! this will hopefully make it less intimidating to read them

gotta think about how/if to keep stored after reading. one thing i like about logseq is i can dump something in there as #to-read and switch to #read when done without organizing. the more i have to
to-read-blogs
leaflets and blogs to read; topics vary, likely mostly atmosphere (at protocol) or social related but not always.

Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB

@devingaffney.com asked for second eyes on the feed def and my first thought was "oh damn that's actually pretty good" because i forgot @zombiegomoan.bsky.social initiated the design, of course. 🤣 wouldn't have been surprised otherwise.
The *most* important part of our work @graze.social is respecting our community members and lifting them up. We approached some of our users to help us design the feed for @wnyc.org / @gothamist.com and @zombiegomoan.bsky.social answered the call. We're *thrilled* to call Zombie a friend ❤️
I got to play a role in the development of this feed, and I couldn't be prouder of the results. @graze.social is doing some incredible things! 💙🐮

Seriously y'all, if you want to learn how to make feeds like this – going beyond hashtags or simple keyword searches, curating with purpose (informational or otherwise) – reach out.

Us feed builders love doing these things, but our time is limited and we need others' interested in learning!

powerpoint did automated alt text for the figure on my screen. the alt text?

“A map of different colors”

Not three UMAP plots. Not three plots of different colors. Just “A map….of different colors”

it’s so bad 😭 #accessibility #ai-fail
