Bizarre little stamps (laudatory). You're still in control of the board.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Sorry you're having trouble with your messages, Fared! Have you entered your birthday under Settings > Account > Birthday? Some jurisdictions have laws about social media and age that require Bluesky to make some features unavailable before you prove that you're an adult

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

Great afternoon on the Henry County Fairgrounds in Napoleon for the Northwest Ohio Ag Expo. Thank you to the Ohio Farm Bureau and all event sponsors for all you do. Always enjoy spending time alongside so many agricultural organizations, farmers, producers and growers from across our fertile region.

Hard Feelings The Iranian diaspora is fracturing in real time, across dinner tables, on WhatsApp, and in the silence of blocked numbers.

Incredibly moving piece on the tensions of Iranian diaspora.

My colleague and friend Narges Bajoghli identifies an β€œanguished double consciousness”: deep loathing for the Iranian regime but unwillingness to celebrate the war’s deaths and destruction.

Ahh, that sounds delicious! I'll have to look out for it. My favorite locally grown variety that sounds very similar to that one is the Little Sweetie (usually from the Lancaster [PA] Farm Fresh Co-op)

Oh, yes, I can imagine that being the case. I was going to say that to me the hallmark of the best cantaloupe is the floral scentβ€”but some people are allergic or sensitive to floral scents!

07.03.2026 23:45 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

lol, that's fine too! Tastes will differ, but I still think that a lot of people who would like the good cantaloupe if they tried it have just never encountered it

This is so cool! I love that so many developers are building imaginative apps that anyone with a Bluesky / AT Protocol account can instantly use

Agree with this. Fresh summer farmers' market cantaloupe is divineβ€”sweet, fragrant, special. The problem is that all the out-of-season grocery store cantaloupe gives it a bad name.

Wandered into another wonderful library without any prior knowledge of its history YDA. Kitakyushu City Central Library was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Arata Isozaki and completed in 1974. The exterior doubled for Musashino Library, the Library Defense Force HQ, in the Toshokan Sensō films.
