#dev #bluesky I use Slack to communicate with various groups of friends, and sharing Bluesky posts with native link unfurling hasn't always been the most reliable. So, I made my own custom link bluesky unfurler for Slack! Go here to add it: bsky.connerpsmith.net/oauth/slack/...
I built a custom Bluesky link unfurling plugin for Slack if you like sharing your favorite Bluesky posts in Slack.

Ilhan Omar will be in office far longer than Donald Trump.

On November 4th, we have a choice between a Mayor who has had 7 years and failed to deliver, or new leadership that actually answers to the people. And the consequences are great.
