UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.
Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

Along with everything else that's wrong here, I'm SUPER upset this is going to be a lot of people's first exposure to Bukharian jomahs. Which are actually pretty fab when they're worn where it's appropriate, and have a cool, but possibly apocryphal, origin.
