Saturday's Ukrainian Flag Day/Independence events organized by uccn.org. Today they are holding a picnic at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Jamaica Plain, MA. @veretskiy.bsky.social book cover artist Daria Kochnieva and I both contribute to their magazine, Chronicles.

Thanks to our new reader Veronica, who ordered the special hardcover first edition of @veretskiy.bsky.social's book via his author site at olegveretskiy.com/mists1-launch-2. I'm struck by something translator Marina @yazavtra noted on the team chat:

@chantireviews.com So happy to open email this morning and find that my author @veretskiy.bsky.social made the OZMA longlist! This will lift him up so much - he's serving in the Ukrainian military in a special intelligence unit. His book club meets this Sunday - please consider dropping in! :-)

For me, this is a really great moment... I am grateful to my publisher and the entire team who made the English-language edition of my book possible. And I thank all of you, dear readers, very much. Without you, none of this would have been possible...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually who are you not to be?” — Marianne Williamson

Love this post from reader Stacy: "Poconos- 3 days in nature! Thanks to @veretskiy.bsky.social & Pierce Press, I have all the down-time entertainment I'll need!...I'm as excited about reading the 1st book in 🇺🇦✍️ Oleg's trilogy, #TalesOfTheWanderingMists, as I am about my 3 days of wood-spritery!"

Review from Kickstarter backer Suzi (age 80): "I received two of the special first edition Tales of the Wandering Mists for two young people in my life. I opened one and started reading. It's enchanting and wonderful! I want to keep reading. Do I sneak-read one that I’m giving away or

Thinking of you, @rinne2527.bsky.social! Bookplates are on the way to readers from @veretskiy.bsky.social who signs them in between missions with his unit. OlegVeretskiy.com 🇺🇦 📖💙💛📖🇺🇦

Thanks for the original lecture and your ongoing support of @peeragogy.bsky.social Howard! I’m excited to try out the chatbot!!

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Not an academic, but 1) @peeragogy.bsky.social Handbook v4; 2) parallel universes.

It's amazing and a testament to the platform (or whatever it is), that we're still at it. Weekly drop in on Mondays on #jitsi!

Ok, I am so excited about this! I built a new algorithmic ranked feed based off my starter pack, and did it on skyfeed.app I'm probably going to tweak mine a bit, if you wanted a ranked feed of the best post from a selected list of followers, here is how you can do it. 1/8🧵 🧪 🩺🖥️ 🛟 #AcademicSky

OMG I remember that! Powerful and such mixed phrasing. Apparently it came out in 1969, I was 13 so I probably collected it later, when I was much cooler.🤫

Thank you, very useful

#GitHub added BlueSky link to the profiles.

If you browse to github.com/Peeragogy you will see our Github "organization". The master copy of the Handbook content is at github.com/Peeragogy/Pe.... #Github has a learning curve, so feel free to ask for help.

Thank you- I know it's a lot of work!

I've been re-reading Alexander's "A Pattern Language" lately – not with a view to it's influence on software design – but for its own sake and with consideration of our own home and its environs. I find intensely comforting and «koselig».

Very cool
