The Finnish word for the northern lights is “revontulet”, meaning “fire fox.” The legend is the arctic fox runs so fast across the mountaintops that its tail sweeps sparks and snowflakes up into the sky.

Mad jealous of all the folks with the northern lights above them tonight

“But for me to suffer such disgrace… I, the proud heart of the past, driven under the earth,
condemned, like so much filth…
the gods so hard to wrestle down obliterate us all.”

So a friend came to visit and helped us do the dishes, except… do you know what happens when you put dish soap instead of dish detergent in the dishwasher?

With all due respect to Jack for having the vision to invest in decentralized protocols, we’ve carried out the work in a way I don’t think he fully understands. Bluesky is structurally open in a way Twitter has never been, but the design of atproto allows it to feel familiar and easy to use.

Can vouch for this as a key pillar of my mental health

When we first opened up to beta users last year, the only dev building out the app was Paul, and it stayed like that for a few solid months, so it was simply not possible to achieve feature parity with other apps. With a few more hands on deck now, we're excited to ship things like DMs!

2024-05-08 00:00:44

Some exciting features coming to Bluesky soon! We’ve heard your requests for DMs and video, and are working hard to deliver.
In addition to these big changes, we’re working on improving the custom feed experience and anti-harassment tooling, as well as getting in some quality-of-life improvements.

Cool new audio app!
“We have released the audio distribution service Bluecast! A chat function is included, allowing broadcasters and listeners to easily communicate. Streamers can limit listeners to their Bluesky followers and mutual followers. Please feel free to use it!“

How often do I think about the Roman Empire? Not near as often as I think about Minoan Crete.

- seeing an octopus out hunting on a night dive, and watching it camouflage itself!
- being beneath some big manta rays as they swooped through an underwater canyon
- figuring out a moray eel and a grouper i was watching were coordinating a hunt together
- befriending a batfish

I’ve come across this meme on Bluesky several times. And I just want you to know that for me, this is you all, on Bluesky.
