Tired millennial who's been on the internet since ‘96. Hobby hopper, Apple fanboy, and successful introvert. I’m not funny, but the delusion stays. He/him https://beacons.ai/mousebrat #photographer #podcaster #stay #twitch #streamer #illustrator

Finished a book, started another. And I can’t put this one down. Something clicked and my AuDHD is fascinated now.
Life is a little bit more enjoyable with a touch of mystery.
Happy Halloween, Bluesky.
Rain on Halloween is always good luck. Jealous!
I’m with ya. I’ve been off for a hot minute too. The last month has been a little rough.
I will actually have to move mine over now. I’m ready!
Lol I’m enjoying it too much, so that tells a story. But I’m equally invested in getting through 7 more before the end of the year.
I'm 4, almost 5, into my goal of 12 for this year. I'm going to die.
Why yes, I do have 31 books on my “Currently Reading” list. And yes, I am about to make it 32.

It’s finally in my hands @fivefoldlaw.bsky.social. 🎉
October, you do many things perfectly.

The etymology of ‘turtle’ is interesting as shell.

'Turtle' comes from the French 'tortue,' which in turn comes from the Late Latin 'tartarucha.'

‘Tartarucha’ was short for the phrase ‘bestia tartarucha’ which means "infernal beast" or "beast of the nether regions."
‘Tis the season.

This sounds like a threat… and I’m really happy about it at the same time. 😅

It’s wild how much a depressive episode followed by a transformative vacation that heals childhood trauma followed by getting laid out by a sinus infection can make you feel like a wildly different person in the span of only a few weeks.

I’ll eventually be normal again. Lol

So we raised $10.7m to build a new professional platform oriented around high-trust networked group chats in large part because I think we're better as a species than "six business lessons I learned on my trip to Cancun".

LinkedIn chose creators over collaboration, so we raised $10.7M to build for innovation not attention
We build in fluid networks not silos. We need a platform that believes external collaboration is about more than performative content.

Ahh, I miss swimming
That will definitely help. Tossing in like 15-20 minutes of walking everyday will also give you that boost
