You Don't Have To
YouTube video by Ross Kirsling
Got out of my songwriting drought by making a protest song against generative AI...in the form of an adult children's song. ๐
The song congealed in two hours; the drawings took another two weeks (but I'm thankful to my friends who pushed me to make a lyric video ๐).

Some confectioneries include a "map" for the chocolates, but if you buy a box of, say, See's Candies, you're likely not going to know whether something's caramel or nougat before you bite into it.

(And "hen and then" is a total must-have.)

Interestingly, I feel like "thich" sounds too much like "this" to feel right as a word for "that one". I think "thich and thach" would *totally* work though.

Looks like they also added allowances to bullets for "economic exclusion" and "social exclusion". It's shockingly blatant when viewed as a changelog...

Yeah, it seems like it was only a matter of days between folks' "we should take this opportunity to outgrow old Twitter behaviors!" and doing...not that. ๐

I am in JP! And I also don't mean for it to be competitive; my thought was friendly accountability.

Yeah, I'm constantly like "at some point, I'll come to my senses and just become a teacher, right?" but I have zero idea how to actually do that.

This. If it's "Bluesky" and not "BlueSky", then I think the screenreader is already correct. ๐

Ooh, I see. I'll just let the *.github.io be an alias then.

I take it this just applies to multiple custom domains though, and not to having *.bsky.social AND something else?

Indeed, it displays "Upgrade or make this repository public to enable Pages" in this case.

More seriously, your giving us a "Wait, you can do that? You can just...ask the world for a compliment?" moment *itself* demonstrates an openness and a kindness that's so needed right now.
I wanna live in a world where people actually go around and compliment one another! ๐

I feel like I never fully understood Twitter, so the X-odus seems like a lovely opportunity to try anew.
Decided to start by making my profile a bit more "person-first". โบ๏ธ
