Trying a new music page as a more dynamic replacement of my Full Album Favorites list. It runs off of my Album Whale RSS feed (hat-tip: @bjhess)
I have more to do but the only real bug has been the Marfa theme wrapping every damn thing as an unordered list.
Sunset at the Henry Ford Academy.
Conversation with my own brain while trying to fall asleep last night:
🧠 “Make a custom theme for your Micro.blog”
🧔♂️ “I already have too many personal projects and everybody just uses the timeline or apps anyway.”
🧠 “Remember Hey Loura!?”
🧔♂️ “I’ll start in the morning.”
December is off to a great start. The lights are up inside and out, the tree is glowing in the corner, and baking cookies are filling the house.
“…frequently my sense of what’s urgent is really a matter of someone else’s priorities or anxieties… But that doesn’t follow. It’s not that other people’s priorities don’t count at all. It’s just that they needn’t obliterate all other considerations.”
🤺 Got my butt kicked in fencing last night however I certainly learned a lot. I still don’t know if I should take, “You’re not aggressive enough,” as a compliment or criticism?
Face off between hunter and prey.
A new D&D adventure begins tonight and Trinket is ready for his first day of school at Strixhaven!
Just discovered an awesome new music site, Album Whale, co-created by the amazing @bjhess. It helped me quickly create a much prettier list of my favorite full albums of all time.
Encountered a thanksgiving survivor wandering the streets. Wasn’t at all scared of the surrounding cars.
Many people don’t want to quit because they worry: without my Twitter account, who will listen to me? I believe these hesitations reveal something totally unrelated to Twitter, and if you find yourself fretting in this way, I will gently suggest that it’s worth questing a bit to discover what you’re really worried about.
The D&D campaigns my friends and I play take about a year and a half to complete so I celebrate them by drawing a poster of everybody’s characters and having them printed. I don’t usually share them here but they are the two most important drawings I’ve ever made. (So far.)
Upgraded my M.b website to use more legible font sizes, colors, and rem/em units. Pretty sure nobody ever visits my site directly but if they do, they should have a nicer experience.
Bat for Lashes - Lost Girls Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to discover this album.
My neighbor’s backyard is very excited about the sunrise.
Why yes, I think I will play some video games today.
“Excuse me. Do you have any more of those peanuts?”
Some days, the internet feels like it’s nothing but a mall full of stalkers and “friends” that charge you a fee to hang out with them.
I’ve been binging on early Björk albums this entire week. It’s been like having old friends over for a visit. Homogenic still has the power to take my breath away.
None of the snow flurries or morning meetings can disturb her chill.
If you’re not following StickerSpotter, you’re missing out on some interesting creativity. This has been a public service message from Fans of StickerSpotter.
The first real snow of the season is falling and it’s actually kind of nice.
The rotting pumpkin doesn’t share this view. (Sorry little guy but you were starting to smell.)
Social media users documented in the moment, rather than retrospectively. What we have now is a cognitive state more akin to a coiled spring, where we consume “content” with the expectation of engagement rather than of participation.
Finally broke down and jumped on the omg.lol bandwagon this morning and I’m already having fun with it. I would like to blame @maique, @jean, and @pimoore instead of admitting that I’m a grown man who makes his own decisions.
Whelp, guess I’m not getting out of bed today.
