Everyone’s a geek about something.

For me, it’s: ✍️ Writing 📚 Reading 🎮 (Mostly Cozy) Gaming 🪐 Speculative Fiction
Spent probably a couple hours of my precious weekend trying to work out how to correctly setup Quick Add on my new second brain in #obsidian. Only to decide I did not like it and won’t use it (quick add, I mean, not Obsidian).

I hear my grandma in my head saying, “Lord have mercy,” right now. 😂😭

Time for an alpaca break! 🦙

Please remember to take some time to disconnect, pet your floofs, and get some sunshine if possible.

As long as we have the will to fight there is hope.

In the latest ep of the slow hunch podcast, I spoke w/ @jay.bsky.team, CEO of @bsky.app.

Originally conceived as an initiative within Twitter by Jack Dorsey, Bluesky was supposed to transform Twitter from a closed platform to an open protocol-based network.

I have no authority to say what the best show on TV now is. I’ve only watched one show this year. Still, I strongly suspect that it’s Severance.

In this moment’s delicate battle between staying informed and retaining a sense of mental stability, as opposed to being sucked into a doomscrolling spiral, it’s good to have amazing friends who introduce you to new hyperfixations. In this case, Mt. Everest. Thanks, @ohhoneybee.bsky.social ! 🏔️💙

Joined bluesky hoping to play my little part, to be a drop in an ocean moving toward a time when people aren’t so reliant on Musk, Zuck, or the like for online communication & connection (also…just to be petty & contribute to them having a bad time), but given what I see so far, I must say…
