Today I got to give my kids firsthand experience of dry ice. So fun to share in the freshness of their experiences.

Yeah that's pretty cool - except that "can you remove yourself? No" answer, y'all need to fix that

Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky! 🚀 Update to version 1.87 of the app or refresh desktop to create a starter pack. (It may take a moment for version 1.87 to appear in the iOS App/Google Play stores.)

Life is wonderous

Hello again friends! Nice to see you here. Growing a (social) garden takes a while, doesn't it.

I suppose it will take a full twitter crash to move my network here, but at least this place is finally ready.

What a blue sky day today - was out for hours in the afternoon with the kids, then ate dinner on the back porch.

This is good - works from xwitter profile

Now a URL like "https://mmasnick.bsky.social" will redirect to "https://bsky.app/profile/mmasnick.bsky.social" (and we'll make sure not to break this). (We should have gotten around this earlier but for various reasons we did not...)

Perceiving is meaning-making. To know is to love. Everything happens so much.

Liberation. Joy. Meaning. Adaptability. Equanimity. Not from logic, nor from magic, but freely available through interactive, relational, practical experience... (🧵 re Intentional Society practice program launching)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Life is infinitely complex, and, as simple as we need it to be.

Our entire world is inside our heads.

Thinking of developmental stage models as stages is the thing that's a stage.

Parenting, man. Really tests how grown up you are.

Bluesky population is now big enough to make a good earthquake-checker! At least in Seattle. Congrats on the milestone, we did it

Intentional Society has been a growth-oriented community full of relational practices, awareness-acceptance-integration loops, and culture cultivation. It remains that still, and also: Building atop our cultural foundation and practices, we’re expanding our scopes of activity!

I'm feeling fired up about how far we've come and about unlocking the next zones in the short-term, crafting the future of Intentional Society. Trusting that the call points us in the right direction together, 'cause I'm not smart enough to do it myself.

"I even forbid myself... the use of every word or expression in the language that imported a fix'd opinion, such as certainly, undoubtedly, etc., and I adopted, instead of them, I conceive, I apprehend, or I imagine a thing to be so or so; or it so appears to me at present." -Benjamin Franklin

Yo whaddup blueskies (double-ironic sincerity)

For 3 kids plus one sport, after initial discarding of irrelevant forms... 21 first-day paper forms. Got it down further to 14 with some e-forms and ignoring a few more. And I haven't even re-upped my volunteering forms yet. It is what it is, it's just... Systems, man.
