Help me out, Bluesky.

Does a green heart emoji mean anything specific or different from a red heart emoji (or any other color for that matter)?

💚 I seem to see many people use it and I'm not sure why it is more commonly used than the default one. ❤️

Did I miss a memo about this? Hahaha

Figured I would share this gorgeous little animation. As a hybrid myself, it is especially relateable. =P Please, enjoy!

This is certainly worth a watch, especially for my US followers. Many people in and around our government are using the fear factor of those who don't know much about Islam as a tool to influence people into holding anti-Muslim views.

Another possible example of a broken clock? Either way, I agree with the last line here.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

Good urbanism and a healthy community shifts behavior from caring for "my property" to "taking care of our street".
Be the change (municipal sidewalk plowing) you want to see in the world…

By clearing the sidewalks beyond your own home until the snowblower battery dies.

I got 5 other neighbors’ sidewalks done tonight bc the snow was so easy to work with!

Trump is absolutely panicked over the prospect that he will face criminal investigations by the ICC in The Hague and will wind up in the dock there. And that's because, like his close buddies Putin and Netanyahu, he is in fact committing war crimes for which he could be prosecuted.

Drank for the first time in months and I'm actually finding myself surprised at how it feels.

It's not bad, but it's not good either. Lots of very real feelings. I guess it's grounding, but I remember now why I chose to stop for a few months.

In historical terms, this puts the Pam Bondi DOJ squarely in the Byzantine legal tradition—under which a jurisconsult would always pursue a literal reading of a legal text, ignoring the plain meaning or intention of the writer.
The DOJ's position is that it will not do anything that a judge does not explicitly require, even if that action is clearly the lawful implication of what is decided. Is this the DOJ's way of saying (again) that it will only follow SCOTUS orders? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

NYC definitely needs way more of these double-wide bike lanes.

Being able to calmly bike next to someone is the sort of low stress trip I think a lot of people are waiting for before trying to cycle around the city.

Definitely me included!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Jim Bruer talks about his experiences with Chris Farley and the evilness he saw in Hollywood. Gets a little religious towards the end, but still a really surprisingly meaningful story.

Winter in American cities means choosing between potential injury on an unmaintained sidewalk or potential death from walking in the clean streets with cars.

Not sure what is more of a shock to me: The fact that I'm agnostic again, or that I ever was convinced of something else as an ADULT in the first place.

Man, some religions can really take hold if you're in a weak spot. For some, it heals wounds. For me it hurt them. Glad that's over, it was scary

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.
