Oh yeah. Bluesky 👋

The full moon is so bright over the Methow Valley, and the ground is so white that it’s as bright as dusk. No headlamp required.

A question a lot of people should ask themselves: "Are you truly ambitious, or do you just like the idea of success?"

Been missing pani puri since returning from Kolkata. Seemed like a great Thanksgiving appetizer, so made some. Not as great as what I ate in Kolkata but pretty tasty!

I’m going to try and become one of those people who goes to the gym at 6am.

hi! I'm drawing threeminuteportraits! send me a photo, and I’ll draw it up digitally. i draw, people, pets, places & more. $35/figure. can combine photos too. DM me to get started! 🎅 instagram.com/threeminutep... for more examples! 🎄

A few thoughts: 1. I long for a space that’s not adversarial. Not every space requires debate. 2. I’ve yet to see that Left vs Right “debates” are ever productive. What’s the point? 3. Some differences aren’t matters for “debate.” Someone’s right to exist, for example. So, yes. Too much to ask

Post you from a different era of your life

@alpinesoul.bsky.social I’m always surprised when I see Methow Valley peeps on here 👋

I wish the airlines were here so I could complain to Delta.

I’m at the airport and think the cowboy hat and ear-bling combo is confusing some folks

I had 7k followers on Twitter. I’m just barely over 100 here. It’s pretty nice!

Reminder to self and others: This app and community feel really good right now. Let’s do our best to keep it that way, while recognizing it will change. Be grateful for it for as long as it lasts!

My toxic trait is overpacking for quick trips to SF. This time, cowboy hat included.

Just finished reading Remarkably Bright Creatures. What a lovely book. I cried, and it’s been a bit since a book has had that effect on me. www.goodreads.com/book/show/58...

Sorry I missed your call/text/email even though I have all notifications turned on, my phone is constantly in my hand and I’m always looking at it

Happy Friday!

Deleted my Threads account today and Twitter account last week. All my eggs are now in this basket.

Sunrise was pretty good today

Living his best life

Post your workstation setup

Happy “Free Blooming Onion Day” to all who celebrate! (AKA Veteran’s Day)

@kvlly.com watching the Atlanta v Miami match?

I did some DIY electrical work today. I didn’t electrocute myself and didn’t burn the house down. That’s a win!

He’s a lover, not a biter

I’d been on Twitter/ X since March, 2007. No more. #GoodBye

@hawkblogger.bsky.social glad to see you here. I can’t in good conscience stay in X, and was feeling Seahawks fomo

Happy “How early is *too early* to go to bed?” Season!

Happy Diwali! 🪔

Time zones are amazing. It’s just about bedtime here in Kolkata, India. Back home in Washington, the day is just getting started. Goodnight, world! Have an awesome Saturday

Two and a half days in Singapore. Spent time with our teams, visited stores, ate great food. Off to India!

About last night. Aurora Borealis over Washington’s Methow Valley

It used to be so quiet here!

Tattoo progress pic

I brought a shareable bag of Swedish Fish to my tattoo appointment as a little treat during breaks. My tattoo artist is running late which means there’s a 50/50 chance I eat them all before the session even starts.

Forever on a mission to find the vibes of Twitter in the mid 2010s

Haven’t been here in a while. Hi 👋

An underrated aspect of living in the mountains on 4th of July is zero fireworks. Dogs and humans sleep in peace! (If anyone lights off fireworks there’s a non-zero chance the entire community burns down. So please be cool my pretty babies)

Clouds that look like they were painted in the sky. Love these summer nights

Early morning flights seem like a good idea right up until the moment you set an alarm for 3am.

May your morning be filled with sunshine and lots and lots of coffee ☕️😎

I kind of forgot about Bluesky for a minute! If we haven’t met, I’m David and use he/ him pronouns. Here for: 📖 Thoughts and dialogue about leadership 💻 Tech stuff 🕺 General Shenanigans 🚵‍♂️ Outdoors… MTBs, hikes, XC skiing, etc… Nice to meet you!

Good morning, Bluesky!
