A small core of us #rugby folks may need to start a guerilla marketing campaign on other social groups to get others over here.

Thrilled to find you on @bsky.app Paul and congrats on 60K books sold 👏

I follow you on YouTube and just saw your Bluesky handle there. Excited to find more connections here. 🌿

Biodiversity in Wisconsin amidst the 6th great mass extinction • Wisconsin Examiner Biodiversity is declining across the planet, but what about in Wisconsin, how do we measure it, and how can we stop it?

A special report today by @isiahholmes.bsky.social on the skyrocketing rates of extinction, scientists' explanations for the causes and what might be done.

I am also concerned about that rock 🪨

Yeah!

So glad you’re here. 🙌

Hi Jake 👋

What if Mark Johnson did not take the women's hockey coaching job? 🏒

What if Russell Wilson didn't transfer to Wisconsin? Or in same theme, JJ Watt, etc.?

Wisconsin women's rugby team captains Jessica Burda (me) and Katie "K.O." Odens accept the 2015 USA Rugby Division 2 National Championship trophy. Jessica and Katie are wearing gold medals and national champion hats.

Zoom call tonight with fellow alumni of Wisconsin Women's #Rugby. Planning group for team's 50th anniversary in June.

Amazing to consider so much history in 50 years of this beautiful sport and sisterhood 🏉 including 10 year anniversary of winning the USA Rugby D2 National Championship

Screenshot of my workout on January 23, 2025 showing I worked on bench press and other weightlifting exercises. This is a screenshot of the Strong app.

Today’s win in #burnout recovery is hitting 100 pounds in my bench press again. 💪

Haven’t seen that since 2020 (mainly due to not lifting much since 2020)

Grip strength work from FCs for long-life health and wealth too

Yes! @stephkosmaule.bsky.social and Steph’s 🦵🦵 🎉

1. Either immediately or way too long. ☠️ Average, I'd say dedicated time is 5-10 mins of drafts, rethinking, spacing, pondering, talking to myself, etc. Usually also finding related main image.

2. Start w/ very rough draft placeholder. End with dedicated edit/final.

It's so quiet on here.

I'm actively searching for people I follow on other platforms to see if they have accts yet. Finding someone new is 🎉

I like how this isn't full of garbage yet though. Quite pleasant indeed.

What kind of creator SaaS springs to mind?

I'm 50% why are all the social media platforms burning trash piles now (why can't we have nice things) & 50% let them burn to ashes & disappear so we can grow something new 🌿

Hard agree on YT. It's become my go-to everything ahead of other SM or TV/stream

The 16 coaches were from several states in the southeast USA. Photo taken by USA Rugby coaching educator Jessica Burda Leslie.

Kicked off 2025 by educating and certifying 16 (!) new coaches in Alpharetta, GA with their #USARugby L1s 🏉

Great day of learning together & growing the game for these #rugby coaches from several states. Congrats to all!

Thank you to Atlanta Youth Rugby & Georgia Rugby as the host organizers
