Ok, let's try this again, 2025.

Of my New Year's goals this year I can share publicly:

-Create Content You Love And Which Adds Value

-Make Progress On A Language

Let's see where I'm at on December 31st.

(2025-281/365) The Las Vegas Aces have put together a bunch of dominant seasons and championships, and the WNBA in particular deserves more attention than it's gotten for how inspiring it's been. This was nice to see. #blueskies www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tndg...

(2025-280/365) Community especially when it's formed to help through shared adversity can be a very powerful thing. For this kind of survivorship it's no surprise it's become like family. #blueskies www.bbc.com/news/article...

(2025-279/365) The new Steve Burns podcast gets chunked up into little shorts for more digestibility and they remind me of me being in this same situation.

...look, that little backpack I got is useful every few months, really! #blueskies www.youtube.com/shorts/czWhB...

They say "never meet your heroes" but they don't know the devastation of finding out your hero is a fan of your rival sports team.

(Jokes aside, hockey games are awesome live, and have a good time at GalaxyCon).

LOCAL PANDERING ALERT: I'll be at GalaxyCon St. Louis this Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Come say hi.

(2025-278/365) Love that this new big brother is all about getting to know his sister right from the very beginning. These are the first of many such wholesome moments, hopefully #blueskies www.youtube.com/shorts/cidic...

It's in the replies already, but the fact that he then said to Morden that he would "look up at your lifeless eyes and wave" and that they called it back years later when it actually happened was awesome.

Vir, like G'kar, was the embodiment of persistence through adversity.

I'm a loyal Cubs fan and there's nothing people can say to me that bothers me, especially now that we got that one championship that I lived through.

It's just vibes, which is funny when I accidentally set off a Yankees fan by saying we're buddies because we have the same # of rings this century.

(2025-277/365) I've linked #kpop / rock band QWER here in these feeds before, but it's worth doing so again to see how they've matured their sound in the last couple years. Really like a good ballad and this one is just soothing. #blueskies www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_S_...

The NFL has been filled with ridiculously funny highlights this week but seriously, this one takes the cake.

The biggest "it's so over/we're so back" play so far this year.

(2025-276/365) I'll always be heartened by efforts like this one to fund cancer research. Doing this for pretty much the better part of what looks to be almost 3 years had to have been difficult, but ultimately rewarding. #blueskies www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sunderland army reservist completes 1,000-day cancer fundraising walking challenge

I really should head back to GW2 for a bit some day. I have an updated video card and I've always liked the world areas. Thanks for sharing the photos as always.

Pets are family. I am sorry for your loss and am glad your family gave her a full and wonderful life.

(2025-275/365) You see this every so often for the Olympics, but to see it at a young age like this is good to see. We should hope that all young people learn these lessons early. #blueskies www.youtube.com/shorts/UeR3W...

(2025-274/365) While not every food bank can accept home baked items, those that do have found a friend in Community Loaves, which sends bread for distribution to those in need. #blueskies apnews.com/article/food...

(2025-273/365) A multi-generational business like this one can't be easy to maintain or keep relevant, but this UK family has managed it into three generations. Good to see it's still needed, too! #blueskies www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Dreamcatcher headed into October with a few on-camera official appearances and some interesting updates on what's coming up next. The latest on one of 3rd generation's best #kpop groups below! thelowkeygeek.com/dreamcatcher...

I'm sure you've felt it too but these last few days have me really wincing about the lack of proper community management of this situation.

Frank @thelowkeygeek.com · 8d

Years of playing Assassin's Creed games and without fail I have two modes:

-I am a shadow and a master of stealth
-I HAVE THE FOOTFALLS OF AN ELEPHANT, SWING WILDLY

The latter usually happens later in the game, but in Shadows it happened within 10 minutes. It's like coming home.

Frank @thelowkeygeek.com · 8d

Historically, as someone who as you know only works part-time in games, I've had my pick of contract work in my part of the field, but it's now been 3 years and still not much out there. If it's that way for a side gig person like me, for full-timers it's been even worse.

Frank @thelowkeygeek.com · 9d

Followed you for a while and you're on the positive feed I made in Bluesky just for the comfort you put up from sharing the recipes and insights. As someone who is still amateurish at cooking but does his best, thank you.

(2025-272/365) I know I've told people when reading this thread to look at the big picture but this is literally that, pulling back to see this massive tree in the Amazon rainforest. Nature is pretty wild sometimes. #blueskies www.iflscience.com/whats-the-ta...

(2025-271/365) This thread has quite a few "young folks who help their family" posts, and they never get old. In this instance, being able to give a beloved family member a roof over their heads to remove stress and difficulty is priceless. #blueskies www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axlp...

I consume #kpop content for all its aspects, and variety show stuff is one of my favorites - especially if it's funny variety content. thelowkeygeek.com/variety-is-t...

Variety Is The Hilarious Spice Of Life In K-Pop

K-Pop is a whole package kind of thing for me, so when funny variety content shows up for artists, I'm absolutely seated.
