Hey @gooseworx.bsky.social I just got back from The Last Act. [no spoilers, wholesome story!] The theatre was totally sold out. Dozens of kids in costume. One boy behind me, (maybe 8 or 12) was mocking every sensitive scene, and anyone who'd cry over them. As 8 year old boys do.. But then-(1/3)

This is a great thread about internet culture.. But it's one I can't relate to. I sit in the "just under 30" category, but I've never had the experience of being involved with an online community to the point of being friends with members there... (1/2)

There's an interesting problem in digital preservation, which is that preservation only exists actively. Only the things you actively move to new formats, survives. Community is probably the same way: it has to be actively maintained in order to outlive whatever spot it's currently in.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,618,377! Wild to think that it's almost my 1-year anniversary on this site, it's been a long 11months... Neat to be among the sub-2mill though.

Welp. Farewell 2023! On the one hand, you were a remarkably stable year for me, all things considered. On the other, you have been the first in a long while I've seen no meaningful developments of skill. So farewell old year! I shall celebrate your passing with chocolate peppermint popcorn.

I've done it. I've escaped the prior establishment and can finally explore sone fresh territory! Might even engage with this one, we'll see!
