My partner just brought me a home made slushy to drink while I'm working so I think I should probably marry him.

Thanks for flagging this! We (Bluesky) will be exploring options to mitigate a situation like this in the future.

Hi Brian - I'd love to learn more about what filters you are using to keep the feed relevant. I'm working on some updates to feed design (I work for Bluesky) and am particularly interested in what kind of filtering people are finding the most helpful. Feel free to DM me if that's easier.

Cozy, comforting congee. Congee - This cozy comfort food is perfect for chilly weather, cleaning out the fridge, or fighting a cold. (Gluten free, dairy free)

I like to poach eggs in the microwave and put them on top and then drizzle chilli oil and put some cilantro. I’m particularly obsessed with congee like this. www.onelovelylife.com/congee/

That looks so good I might have to go make myself some. I’m really into savory porridge lately.

Oh yikes this is me - I adore Good Omens and had no idea about The Omen. I’m sure it’ll be a great serious riff on Good Omens.

My son saw this on the fridge at my sister’s house and said “I know what that is, that’s Zelda’s sword!” You have learned well young one

No one tells you how chickens go from floofy puffballs to velociraptors in 12 weeks. They try to act tough they’re still happiest being held when you squoosh them together

Just in case you hadn't heard, Bluesky has free algorithmic choice. You are in control of what you see here.
Don't trust the algorithm, choose your algorithm.
Or write your own.

What search engines do you recommend?

Google putting an ai response at the top of every search query that looks like a question is the last straw for me.

Buffy Spike GIF Alt: James Marsters as Spike saying “good work team!”

I learned someone here is known as “the guy who talks about Discworld” so I’d like to officially apply for the position of “the chick who talks about Buffy”. Someone should go fetch James Marsters I think he’d like it here

I love the Elkhorn Slough! What a magical representation of it. I don’t live in Cali any more but I want to take my son back there some day. Is this from a book you illustrated?

Bluesky doesn’t just have one algorithm - we have 1000s! Discover is our flagship algorithmic feed, but developers can build feed generators that use any algorithm they can dream of! We love algorithms, but we don’t want to lock you in one - hence why you get to choose!

Point me to the corner of Bluesky for people who aren’t that witty so just post moody pics of breakfast 🍽️ 🍜

Can't wait to add "does it fart" by @danirabaiotti.bsky.social to the bedtime book rotation with my 8 yo alongside our current fav "whose poop is that?" Poop & farts currently represent 70% of his brain space
