You know how at the end of a heist movie the characters go their separate ways and leave the marks sad and confused? I was just thinking about that for no particular reason.

I've been watching Bluesky stats for a few weeks. The number of people performing "follow" actions each day seems to be a decent proxy for new accounts + some users reactivating dormant accounts. The UK surge was long and modest; Brazil is going to be a sharper increase. (Today is not even done.)

A bar chart indicating the number of accounts performing at least one "follow" action on Bluesky, per day. The number hovers just above 40k until early Aug when it goes up to 80k and slowly slides down to 60k. Then today it doubles to around 120k (and the day is not done).

When you are gifted an original (yes, 1989) text, by one of your academic heroā€™s, written by a number of other #socialwork#tech@jaxr.bsky.social - this is an incredible inaugural lecture gift šŸ“™

A casebook of computer applications in the social and human services
First page of book - stating the state of play for social work and tech in 1989 - which still stands today in terms of acceptability, ethics and appropriateness
