"Moments like this fill me with wonder, and they remind me of how much beauty humans can create"

Carrie Patsalis shares a glimpse of Christianity and Islam in Iran

The Vank Cathedral and the Shah Mosque

Both, beautiful architectural masterpieces

Does the follow Friday happen here? That was really useful on twitter for finding active and interesting people. It feels like the algorithm here doesn't force you in front of new people in quite the same way as twitter did.

Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for
A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women
B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence.

It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

What utter dickheads we are…

Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal

Farage and his MPs voted it down

Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty

Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on

The mega wealthy win again.

And this, I think this quote by the complexity scientist Ilya Prigogine is presently pertinent “When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system.”

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

A bishop says “But I didn’t do anything”. A priest replies “Well that’s kind of the problem”

This. This. This.

And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

"Don't Engage, Just Block" is having a real effect and you can tell it's frustrating the bots, chuds and trolls. They're in my comments trying everything they can to get people there to react -- and no one's biting. And then I swing by and chuck 'em into the cornfield and that's that.

And, inevitably, this post is providing a handy block list of misogynists and haters dribbling about free speech. There is no duty to engage with toxic inadequacy. Just a shared responsibility to reject it.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Starting to settle in with this BlueSky place… love the feeling of positivity versus the other place…

In other news millions of people in the UK are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.

I'm sure you agree.

This is really getting quite remarkable

• BlueSky user numbers have doubled in the past week and now total 3.5 million across US & UK 🚀

• Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up

And the next chart is particularly notable...
