The wisdom left behind by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is vast & as relevant today as it ever was.

May we take every opportunity to dig deeper than the short quotes shared on online, and in ever greater understanding, move through each day better equipped to walk the path to a better world.

Spent probably a couple hours of my precious weekend trying to work out how to correctly setup Quick Add on my new second brain in #obsidian. Only to decide I did not like it and wonโ€™t use it (quick add, I mean, not Obsidian).

I hear my grandma in my head saying, โ€œLord have mercy,โ€ right now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ

Please remember to take some time to disconnect, pet your floofs, and get some sunshine if possible.

As long as we have the will to fight there is hope.

A tweet by Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren
) reads: "If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, whoโ€™s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States."

We must make our stand here.

In the latest ep of the slow hunch podcast, I spoke w/ @jay.bsky.team, CEO of @bsky.app.

Originally conceived as an initiative within Twitter by Jack Dorsey, Bluesky was supposed to transform Twitter from a closed platform to an open protocol-based network.

I am on a spend less kick but I clicked that link so fast. Was sad to see they were already sold out. Sad for me, anyway. But also happy in general! Hope there will be more!

I have no authority to say what the best show on TV now is. Iโ€™ve only watched one show this year. Still, I strongly suspect that itโ€™s Severance.

In this momentโ€™s delicate battle between staying informed and retaining a sense of mental stability, as opposed to being sucked into a doomscrolling spiral, itโ€™s good to have amazing friends who introduce you to new hyperfixations. In this case, Mt. Everest. Thanks, @ohhoneybee.bsky.social ! ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Joined bluesky hoping to play my little part, to be a drop in an ocean moving toward a time when people arenโ€™t so reliant on Musk, Zuck, or the like for online communication & connection (alsoโ€ฆjust to be petty & contribute to them having a bad time), but given what I see so far, I must sayโ€ฆ
