I keep seeing people today say "these labeler implosions just prove that Bluesky needs a T&S team". Folks: Bluesky has a T&S team. @aaron.bsky.team runs it. They've gotten incredibly fast at handling issues. I've seen sub-5-minute responses on some of my reports.

Kintsugi is the Japanese practice of mending broken pottery repair with visible “scars”. For a marketing campaign, Oreo sold tubes of their frosting so people could repair their broken Oreos in the same way. [kottke.org]

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

it makes me even more depressed to realize that these assholes are the ones “innovating” the future and deciding what kind of world we are all going to live in. and they are utterly detached from humanity, morality, decency, and respect.

it makes me really depressed to realize that as a woman, there is something inherent and intrinsic to my identity that will forever be a barrier, esp in the tech industry. it has nothing to do with how “good” i actually am at anything. in the eyes of the power brokers, i will always be a nobody.

it’s far from the most insulting situations i’ve been in, but it feels dehumanizing. it’s not even that people don’t respect me for my work, or my opinions, or anything like that. it’s like they don’t respect me, they don’t SEE me, as a human being.

i’m sulking on the couch in a gorgeous luxury home in the hamptons, avoiding a group dinner at this founder networking event i’m here for, trying to figure out why i’m so upset about being treated like dirt. dirt that’s just a little bit annoying, something that you could ignore or maybe flick away

amongst the many reasons why i am so sad that twitter has been destroyed is that it was a good way for me to meet people who care about what i have to say. brutally reminded of how in-person so much of the tech industry still treats me as just another dumb woman to ignore.

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.

The way we’re all told to treat all this as normal. It’s fine that half your email is scams. It’s fine that you can’t answer your phone. It’s fine that every Instagram post is full of scam bait comments. It’s fine that people text you weird phishing links. Just adjust your behavior.

coming back from dinner i passed a bookstore and in buying yet another stack of books realized my extreme reading habit is a perfect example of indulging in that gift. even if being smart doesn’t help me much per se i derive great joy from reading and learning a lot quickly.
