View post on Bluesky I'm kinda bummed out I'm just now finding out about Fark. It's one of the OG link-sharing sites, pre-dating both Digg and Reddit.

I am obsessed with Chainsmoker Cat 🚬😸 Yani is a catgirl with a seriously bad smoking habit. Every time she tries to quit, she becomes weak to the cravings and gives in almost instantly.

Comic Sans is Great and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not I thought either A) I was going to hate this post or B) it was satire and wouldn't be that funny. But I was wrong, because now I think Comic Sans is fucking punk. I've always despised this font in the same way most millennials despise Nickelback. It's cheesy and cringe.

Reading Practices, Habits, and Phones Reading is a skill. Or maybe a set of sub-skills really. But like most skills, the more you do it the better you get at it. So it makes sense that if you don’t read much long-form writing you may struggle at first. A lot of people say they can’t concentrate. They say they are too busy.

The pitch to a mainstream user currently sounds something like: "Join the Bluesky app, this is the "example" app for the protocol.
