Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts Iā€™m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" ā€” places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders šŸ‘€

alex benzer@alexbenzer.com

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only

@lightlyspicy.bsky.social asks, "Best way to care for young apple trees?"

Orchard Notes@orchardnotes.com

A few starters: keep them watered in dry weather. Protect them against any local predators (deer, rabbits, voles, toddlers etc.) and remove any fruit in the first year or two to help them establish stronger root systems.

@bestpaulever.bsky.social asks, "Why aren't there any blue apples?"

Kwiaht@kwiaht.org

There are some red apples that are nearly blue. Blue Pearmain, Arkansas Black, and Robert's Crab for example. (the real answer is pigments and the limited variety that apples make)

Watercolor of a nearly purple striped red apple. It is dark red with blue-purple stripes. It is shown once whole and once cut stem to blossom-end).Watercolor of a deep red apple, so red it is nearly purple. It is shiny and round. It is shown twice, once whole and once cut stem to blossom end. The core line is quite wide and the tube at the blossom end is long with the core lines meeting it at the calyx.

@brimcrob.bsky.social asks, "What is the best apple to make cider?"

Barry M@barmas.bsky.social

Thatā€™s completely a matter of taste, & geography. West England, youā€™ll get more bittersweets with decent loads of tannin ā€œcider applesā€, like Dabinett. Central Europe they tend to be more acid-led. The great thing is, you can find apples to suit all tastes once fermented, thereā€™s no single answer.
