I like the web and I like people learning new things.
So we're running a free 10 week web development bootcamp online, starting April 24th.
📍Free and not selling/pushing anything
📍Livestreamed lessons with Q&A
📍Expert guest speakers
📍Chill vibes
📍Kind learner community
I scraped, analyzed, installed, and ran all 84 thousand Firefox extensions jack.cab/blog/every-f...

my idea of economics was forever changed when this girl in ninth grade was like “your family’s rich” and i said “yeah right, my dad’s a journalist and my mom’s a teacher, do the math” and she said “my dad’s a magician”
i made a strudel tutorial

Helen DeWitt on turning down a $175k Windham-Campbell Prize because she wasn't able to handle the prize's mandatory publicity requirements. Imo a moving, deeply relatable, and darkly funny story about money, obligation, mental health, & executive dysfunction

ha ha ha, i love that there was an attempt made
😂😂😂
that's such a good point, I should have a look if only consuming Christian media was in there, I doubt it (church was big on it, parents were not for us but definitely are for themselves)
i say in many different ways often that if the pentecostals had convents or similar it would have been a wrap for me, i'd be happily in one now.
going out and converting people: ew
going in and converting myself into What Pleases Him: now we're talking
self-actualisation isn't quite as fun lol
googling stuff about christianity as an ex-pentecostal (by way of ex-universalist unitarianism lol) and was like "why didn't anyone in my church do lent??"
pentecostals don't do that shit, it's not in the bible, which is the answer to every question i have about pentecostals lol.
i see why!
i wish i had this same sense that eternity on earth and literal oblivion were just as scary as each other, that there would need to be some consolation or persuading to bear it.
this has less "real" sport than heated rivalry so i could bear it ha ha ha, i might give heated another shot though

Rather than the same old boring internet pranks, I thought I'd build something more fun this April Fools.

Abandon all tech, lest ye be hypocritical when critiquing tech.
you're still a valid artist if it's difficult for you, if you experience more difficulty than other people.
being an artist isn't suffering, but making art is work.
(and whether or not your art is difficult for you, it doesn't excuse supporting unethical corporate AI projects.)
and if you want to do the project, if it's worth it to you, it's fine if some things, or everything, is hard or brings up challenging feelings.
don't listen to people who say "well why are you writing then". honestly that's too simple. it's mean. it's ableist.
@dinacon.bsky.social continues to be the best, most creatively and intellectually productive way i can spend time. my Workshop Workshop for Workshopping Workshops, which started development there last summer, has been published in zine form in a journal journals.library.unt.edu/index.php/un...
this day and every day, remember that it is possible to feel a complicated multitude of ways about a thing
A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...
The new tool should be cheaper than the one it replaces. 2 It should be at least as small in scale as the one it replaces. 3 It should do work that is clearly and demonstrably better than the one it replaces. 4 It should use less energy than the one it replaces. 5 If possible, it should use some form of solar energy, such as that of the body. 6 It should be repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence, provided that he or she has the necessary tools. 7 It should be purchasable and repairable as near to home as possible. 8 It should come from a small, privately owned shop or store that will take it back for maintenance and repair. 9 It should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, and this includes family and community relationships.
finally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks
