Being reminded of the absolute cruelty of social media over on threads has made me grateful (again) for my well-curated corner of Bluesky. If you can, say something kind on someone’s post today. Uplift someone. Make someone feel seen. The world needs goodness, not ratios, dragging, and dunking.

a Norwegian king crab

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs.
Bear with me for this one because it will make sense.
You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang
Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

#PatrickTheCat sleeping late on the day after #Caturday. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatSky #ProofOfCat

A tuxedo cat [Patrick] lying next to the face of a bearded man in a green shirt, both are in a bed with black and white bedsheets that match the cat's tuxedo coat

Trying to sleep in on a #Caturday morning, but #PatrickTheCat won't stay on his side of the bed. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatSky #ProofOfCat

We’ll start with you, sir. You’re a kind-hearted man with a nice beard. I appreciate your positive outlook and energy.

I don't even think that I know what the manosphere is. I'm happier that way.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are important, you are loved, there is an opossum living in your attic which is why your socks keep going missing, you are valid & you matter.

Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.

In the United States.

In 2025.

“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

I understand your goal. It’s just before 8:00 central, and I just got into bed for the night. It’s glorious!

Thank you. You're kind to say that.

Welcome, in advance, to the Emerald Coast!

Helvetica, please. In my academic work, though, I use Hypatia Sans.

Because I was out sick two days last week, I had to work over the weekend... and I had a twelve-hour workday today to meet some project deadlines. I finished everything up about an hour ago, and I've gone to bed early. Looking forward to a quiet day tomorrow, then I need to catch up on schoolwork.

I sang in the choir for the first time in a year.

That’s what I’m thinking, but who am I to argue?

We just lost Cap’n. Jack. He wasn’t allowed to eat people food, but he licked every plate after dinner.

Please enjoy this turtle being given the gift of speed, and immediately using it to chase a kitty

Did you watch the video?

If I fits I sits: A citizen science investigation into illusory contour susceptibility in domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) A well-known phenomenon to cat owners is the tendency of their cats to sit in enclosed spaces such as boxes, laundry baskets, and even shape outlines …

On my quest to discover research on why cats love cardboard boxes so much, I have come across a research article that looks at how visual illusions affect cats. Cats can perceive shapes even if they are just illusions. 🧪

Please say a prayer tonight for my partner @randallleon.bsky.social’s cat, Cap’n Jack, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge late this afternoon. He was the best kitty, and he’ll be sorely missed. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatSky #Cats #WhiskersWednesday #WhiskerWednesday
