In particular, the state of the Rude setting may be of interest to you.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
I just blocked someone because they said they posted a selfie, and it was not a photo they took of themselves. Instablock. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
In addition to the thread collection and needle minder, I’ve added these two zines to my online shop. (Pre-2022 Ben would not believe such hand work items are real.)

I'm quite disappointed Robert Kaufman's not created their Kona Cotton calendar. Look, we don't need all the patterns that came with it; just do the dates half of the page with the gradient of colorways. Not that I actually used it as a calendar, but I'll miss having that gradient on my wall.
I had my mullet removed yesterday and I keep reaching back, thinking, "wait, what happened to my hair?! oh, right." (I'm not regretting it, I needed something new/different, just a change.)
Same reaction here.
I had no idea these existed! Have fun with it!
Oh no. I just found one even worse, where GenAI was used to create the images and none of them had thinning hair.
I just love all the listicles of “cuts for thinning hair” that basically only feature men with either thick hair or no hair. You couldn’t have found people in-between? You know, people with THINNING hair?
It’s been a weird feeling, having the show up at the Art Center, knowing it’ll be there forever (until 2 Nov), and now it’s down, and all the headspace I had reserved for the show is now available for use again.
I’m definitely using this in the next work meeting that GenAI is promoted in.
I bought fabric years ago to make quilt placemats, and the food aspect scares me every time I’m about to start to make them. Maybe some day.
Bugonia? Yes. Watch with an audience.
I know some people have sewn three together as a table runner, but whether it was to have food on top or just decoration, I’m not sure. I have seen someone make a number as placemats; I assume they just wash and dry them like other fabric placemats.
Hey! It’s November. Do you have your Thanksgiving Dinner (Quilt) ready?

But this bathroom!!!! Amazing.
I finally watched The Shining today. Yes, THAT carpet is amazing, but how is it that I’ve never seen these other rugs/carpet shared?! They’re as good or better.
I downloaded the new application, opened it, looked around for literally a minute, and closed it. Good idea on turning off updates. Off to do that now.
I missed this yesterday, that Canva's latest antic is making Affinity a single free app. I haven't installed it yet, but I'm definitely not yet giving up my Affinity Publisher.

The way I laughed at this in recognition (at least for my half of the couple) was exactly how I needed to start the day.
Excuse me we are gay. We are both Nicole Kidman in The Others
Drifa’s Leap. I got an email about it, was about to click the link, but then read the description and nope’d it to the trash.
Maybe my pushback is because I'm associating sustainable with "easy to produce what we need". That has never been easy.
Or maybe it's because that particular arrangement of words seems an intentional choice, which phrasing should have been avoided so as to not associate themselves with a hate group.
