Do you have a favorite? Is there a difference between that and the built-in bsky setting to disable reposts in your following feed?
I have "quiet posters" and "latest from follows" feeds that help filter noise, but a quick toggle to hide/show reposts would be awesome at times.

Parsnip is apparently trying to game the @catsofyore.bsky.social system by sitting on a 1950’s Norman Rockwell collectible plate. Look dad, I’m vintage.
Also gaming the “you’re not allowed on the dinner table” system, I suppose.

Sounds 100% non gmo, it was developed by hand by this one guy from international fruit genetics. Totally non gmo.
What does the G in GMO stand for again? I always forget.

Costco had these chips recently, which led to plenty of family commentary. Infusing potatoes with dill seems possible, but how exactly do you infuse sea salt with "gourmet"? Is the salt itself infused with dill? etc
Questionable marketing aside, they were awesome.

@labsplaining.bsky.social finally followed up on that sourdough pane al cioccolato! Convection + cast iron combo made it a bit dark (plus ummm, not paying attention at the end of the bake) but inside it’s perfect 😋

Plenty of bad news today! Here’s an emergency strawberry tart with a graham cracker crust and surprisingly good vegan cream cheese layer.
(Emergency because I had strawberries going bad, not because of the state of the world, but I mean… eating it does make me feel a little better)

Look what I accomplished earlier this week! Pancake gnome of doom. My 14yo daughter was like… wow dad that’s something. Then she ate 1/3 of it and went to school hungry. I don’t think any of this is a success story.

Finally opened up facebook and yes, there's still a message sitting there. Not sure if it'll be there after 30 days & not sure if I'll wait to see. Thanks for testing!

I’ve never wanted to subtweet anyone (rarely want to tweet at all tbh) but I agree on the cat pics. How much better would life be if we could all just check out like Pom
