I was Today Years Old when I learned that you cannot manage contact groups on an iPhone.

Me and new social networks.
Every single time I think “bah I don’t want a new phone I’m all anti-digital addiction” I then immediately come across a reminder of just how good these devices are as video cameras.
For my life, that’s where the real value can be found.
Killer feature in Discord: hide muted channels.
If you can hear god laugh it’s because I’m making plans.
I now have an inkling of life with only a phone for a computer.
How anybody lives in this hell I’ll never know.
Buttondown is very good.
Goodbye little buddy 👋
I have been stunned by the outpouring of support from the Micro.blog community, having asked for donations to help my family survive the next month.
I will say more but for now: thank you all so much, you’re amazing. ❤️
Donations remain open; I’ll now stop posting reminders.
Glass launched a month ago.
A last message about my request for donations:
Yesterday I posted a Plea For Help. My wife and I are struggling to make ends meet and in the past 24 hours the response has been amazing. I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude. 🙏
Maybe Apple should introduce a Trusted Payment Program for the likes of Stripe and Paypal as a way to stop- oh… well, never mind!
🤦♂️
Reminders for my future self, when I have disposable income:
Tomorrow is the day I’m going to sell the iPad Pro.
Once we settle into the new place, I’ll return to the old and busted all-in-one Windows machine for as long as it’ll work. 😂
On the plus side, it’s better ergonomically and I can return to a full-sized keyboard and mouse.

Yesterday I posted my Plea For Help.
My wife and I are currently struggling to make ends meet and we are eternally grateful for any and all help during this difficult time. 🙏

It’s fair to say they are having… mixed reactions to the move 😂
Earlier today I put out a short post to ask for help.
Unfortunately my wife and I have discovered that we will be short of money to cover all of our bills this month, and it is making what is an otherwise life-changing event into an all-too familiar ball of stress, anxiety, and frankly, shame.
With that in mind I’m going to step outside of my usual tight-lipped approach and provide a preview of the direct benefit to donating towards my efforts with Today I Learned.
Here are the things your donation can help me make:
… and more. My plans reach well into the future, with everything built on a steady and sustainable timeline. On the Support page I state that I won’t make promises, so this feels even more uncomfortable to write.
However, I hope that highlights just how urgent my current needs have become. You wouldn’t just be helping my family, you would also be securing the path to Today I Learned 2.0. 🙏
I hate to ask, since TIL is currently on a break, but now would be an awesome time for you to send some help my way: Today I Learned donations

This move is tough on our wallet and we just need some help to get through the next month. 🙏
I wish the house moving companies were as good at communicating as the pet moving services 😬
A micropub just opened in our new town 👀
It’s always interesting to see people who like to talk about how they’re “sad to leave Micro.blog” even though they can make the choice to stay.
If I can choose to not be sad, I will always choose to not be sad.
After we move I’m going to set aside time for work in the community, local activism, etc.
I’ll share this on my blog, inspired by other folks on Micro.blog, and hope to see even more of such posts.
It is very easy to site on the sidelines and opine. Much harder to do the work.
