I thoroughly enjoyed Pridefest yesterday. Many corporations have switched their giving away from such events. I have cancelled my Netflix subscription and have donated the year’s expense to Pridefest. I encourage you to reallocate spend to what matters most.

Companies that make exercise machines for gyms that don’t have places for phones should be fined exorbitant sums of money.

#ADHD usually makes me feel "not good enough," but this was an achievement that I'm still proud of.

LOL, um, it is blue! Might need to get it looked at. ;)

There are so many things that I dislike about Facebook. My saved items are lost with perpetual "This page isn't available right now" error messages. Also the endless refreshing of the feed, so that when one clicks on a link, reads an article, then wants to go back to comment, the post disappears!

At least in this area we can grow our own (and freeze them).

Lumen | Boost Your Metabolism | Lumen Lumen is the world’s first portable device to measure track and analyze your metabolism. See if your body is using fats or carbs for fuel in a single breath.

This year I've been using a Lumen device (www.lumen.me). I like using it and the data it generates in my health journey. I do wish it would integrate more with Apple Health. I use a different app for diet tracking and don't want to have to enter everything twice. Still happy with it, though.

#ADHD is thinking, "I could post this on Bsky" and then getting distracted and never doing it. Repeat this an infinite number of times.

Sorry, but I'd have to pick a multiple of 3 pies. Tier 1: X, D, C. Tier 2: B, E, S. Tier 3: P, G, A.

Reading through articles on #ADHD and consistency / habit forming. All the talk of having a "disorder" and "strategies to overcome" leave me feeling like an alien on another world. That implies that there is a home-world out there. One that I wouldn't have to adapt to.

A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

Day 2 of morning cold plunge (8 minutes) and yoga with @manflowyoga.bsky.social which does wonders for my back.

So very true! I was devastated the other day when my lunch bag did a forward roll from the back seat of my car onto the floor. I immediately smelled the cacao and knew my morning hot beverage had spilled and was lost!

I am very connected to the time of year. I have been inert since the beginning of November. The Big Dark! Now I have felt a rebirth associated with Spring. This morning I did a cold plunge and yoga before going to work! I even got to the bus on time! Not meaningful to anyone but me, but goals met!

There is also a "Moderation" setting, you can tell it to "show" "warn" or "hide" adult content. I believe that works on posts that have been tagged by the poster or by the Blue Sky moderation service, though.

Blocking or muting the accounts that are posting them is the only way I know. It's annoying that people don't tag their photos! If you use the Discover or Popular with Friends, then it's going to show you the things that others have liked.

Visiting my mother, out in the countryside. She has the slowest internet! She has DirecTV. Nothing is ever on. One might think the #Smithsonian Channel would have something interesting on, but only Air Disasters! So now I download #TheGreatCourses and bring them with me.

Morning: unexpected construction means taking unknown alternate route to work. Others did the same. I had to make a hard stop on a steep hill, and my lunch bag flew off the back seat onto the floor, where the screw-on lid came off my hot morning life-giving cacao beverage, which spilled everywhere.
