Hey yo, can we add some sort of text formatting? like: bold, indent, underlining, strikethrough?! Wouldn't that be FUCKING COOL?!

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

If Bluesky is to grow and become a viable alternative for the "Global Townsquare," which was the point, it needs to compete on engagement and virality is a part of that.

It isn't competing. Engagement here has been falling for a year. That's a problem if you, like me, want it to survive and thrive.

"I want to belong somewhere. I want to know that there's a place and a group of people who wouldn't be the same without me."

One of the many powerful quotes from Life Is Strange True Colors. It always hits me in the feels - because it's a daily feeling.

I love the Japanese concept of "kintsukuroi", or 'golden repair.' It's the art of fixing broken pottery with gold, highlighting the cracks instead of hiding them. This philosophy celebrates "imperfections" as a "beautiful" part of an object's story.

Starting to sketch in my journal and it has had a positive effect on my mental health, but I also forgot how much I loved drawing. (edited out my ramblings and musings, lol).

Making progress with my latte art after our workshop with Intelligentsia Chicago! Still a long way for me to go, but far from where I started.
