A primer on why alt text use is so necessary. Thanks, @zolenkan.bsky.social. ❤️🙏🏼
Z (7th grade) just told me they're learning Python in biz tech next semester. I'm so stoked! I hope they have homework! 🎊

You've just died. 6th picture in your gallery is what killed you.

I just watched "The Shuffle" on HBO. Highly recommend esp if you were into sportsball in '85. My bio teacher was a huge Bears fan and we were all about them that year. 🏈🧸

🧵 We don't celebrate the settler's holiday, but we do support Indigenous peoples, and you can, too. This year we are supporting the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.

We have the tree up and anchored, but nothing else. Except for this furry ornament. 😅😑 #CatsofBluesky #Theodora #MerryEverythingHappyAlways

We sub'd to Crunchyroll for a while when Zo was heavy into anime. Canceled bc they don't watch it anymore. Just rec'd a Black Friday email from them for *10%* off a year sub. 10%? WILD that this is a "deal." #GTFO

For our family, we don't celebrate this month's holiday. It's actually very easy to abstain.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Cleaning up my office & took down this pic Zo made for me. I never looked at the back when I hung it with a pushpin in my office a few wks ago. Lovely note, still has me choked up. We lost their dad to cancer when Zo was 3, so that's the "alone" part. Lucky to have this kid, for sure. ❤️

Everyday is #Caturday! TGIF from me and Kiki, who has yet to catch a Roku leaf, despite trying every chance she gets. ❤️

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

One thing that we all have seen is that you can be a busy, important person and STILL use alt text on your images. IDC if it's a staffer doing it or what, but it's important to provide context, details, and accessibilty. We can all follow suit. 🙏🏼

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mamdani. 🎊❤️
On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

The Ctr for Urban Research at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social (led by @jomoko.bsky.social) has prepared an online map for tonight's NYC mayoral results. Link below in #thread. For now the map is blank, but it'll fill in w/unofficial returns tonight.

The map will do more than show the 2025 #s.
