13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago.

This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Is it puff piece? Sure.
But does it highlight the need for 3rd spaces and the baseline human need to have healthy online & offline communities to help them thrive? YES!

Very fun to explain the signal scandal to my 13 year old who truly understands the catastrophe of adding the wrong person to the group chat and absolutely fell out when I showed her the Mike Waltz emojis.

This 💯

That 10% yelling "a minor" was pretty loud tho

I'm rooting for rhe Eagles bc I know that will make the staff of Abbott Elementary happy

How great to be perusing the @jococruise.bsky.social lineup, find out that @scalzi.com is on it, realize he wrote one of my fav books I read last year (Kaiju Preservation Society) & be intro'd to Starter Villain, which I'm also loving. Can't wait to say thanks in person 🚢 😉 #booksky

Oh, I'm gonna lean into this themed month

Need a girls weekend? 😘

I'll take a shirt, please 😍

I mean, this works if your parents are media literate. This is increasingly not the case in many anti-intellectual circles.

I think arming kids with tactics to validate info for themselves is a great idea.

Love this. Love WCK. Love her. Also love that one of my besties is featured in this video (yay Brian!)!

🤩

Is the video feature on Bluesky new or did I just completely miss that before today?

Yes! I loved A Starless Sea!
Cozy Fantasy sounds perfect 🙏🏼 Thanks

Hey #booksky - what are fae/witch/supernatural/fantasy books that aren't riddled with smut, violence and war? Am I being naive to think that's possible?

Like the emotional and financial impact on the creators alone is so big. I'm sure many people will go back to TT out of habit, but it will *feel* different - like how FB has been different the last few years.

I did see that.
Yeah, not sure what this massive forced culture shift will do. I'm sure it will personally result in more crafting for me, but for society 😬

It's a fucking master class in promotion and just one of the many reasons I will miss this era of social media. If TikTok comes back to US audiences, it will be with the sticky gloss of political mechanisms and I doubt it will be the same vibe. 💔 (7/6)

Bad Bunny has just been doing free shows all over PR and Brooklyn/Bronx the past week, including showing up at a well known PR restaurants in NY. He also just announced his entire tour this year is in PR, bringing that influx of cash to the island.

Then as part of the press tour Bad Bunny did the busking thing with Jimmy Fallon and then co-hosted the show. He also took over a PR newscast one morning doing all the roles (5/6)

Turista is about someone being a tourist in your relationship, but also sang about beaches. There's also a song about colonizers in Hawaii/PR (4/6)

1st track is NUEVAYoL, a remake of a classic salsa song. Tiktok had thousands of videos of people playing it for their parents and they all light up
(3/6)

Album is called DTMF, abbreviation for a song that translates to "I should have taken more photos", about missing loved ones. TikTok has thousands of videos to the song. This is bad bunny crying while watching them (2/6)

Ok quick catch-up on #BadBunny. He just released (last week or so) a new album with an accompanying short film. All love letters to Puerto Rico.
(Video trimmed, worth looking it up and watching) (1/6)

I've been a huge advocate of the communities I witnessed & was part of on TikTok.
Most recently, I was moved while tracking the #BadBunny #DTMF album release there.
So as a sort of eulogy to this evening's shutdown, I will repost the text messages I forced on my friends this week about it.

Been making my plans for @jococruise.bsky.social today. I'm so dang excited - especially to be in PR for one of the days during this year of our guy #BadBunny
