I don’t have a recommendation for Micro Monday but I do have suggestions:

Enjoy! ⭐

A map-based infographic of Britain representing polling results with regard to EU membership. It shows a vast majority of constituents in favour of remaining in the EU.

Now that I have put the Twitter account for Today I Learned on hold until the New Year I will not be looking at Twitter at all for at least the next two weeks.

The core of the project continues to be active:

Interesting reactions to the linkblogging part of the 12 days of microblogging.

Fuck. Yes.

I’ve just realised; the recent Questions and Answers episode of Micro Monday ought to be renamed:

Manton Reece: Meme Hater

T-shirt idea for Micro.blog:

I ONLY LISTEN TO MICROCASTS NOW

My bet on the next web-publishing company to fuck up: Squarespace.

Between their disconcerting deal with Unsplash and years-long seeding of the tech podcast industry, this dynamic has all of the elements required of a destructive fallout.

Further to the Gutenberg editor and the inadequacies of WordPress for those of us who are focused more on publishing the things we make, yesterday I posted my Micro.blog wishlist. I didn’t mention categories or custom homepage, since Manton has already spoken about those.

I have written about Gutenberg before now and I’ll say this much for people who do not like the bloated mess WordPress has inevitably become; Micro.blog is better for focusing on what you make. It’s not perfect but it is getting there.

Here is the thing a lot of people, especially those in Apple-centric circles ought to understand about Gutenberg; most people do not have an Apple computer and therefore most people do not have access to a variety of blog publishing tools. They just use the web editor.

GitHub questions: I was thinking about using it for somewhere to post the custom CSS for my blog theme. Is that a good idea or should I put it somewhere else? If it has a place on GitHub, where exactly? Somewhere in the repo? Fork? Start my own?

Never been happier to use Firefox.

You know what’s super fun when you’ve got momentum with work across different projects and have your writing energy going good? Being sick, that’s what. 😐

Anyway, I’m back now. Time for more writing of the words and publishing of the posts. 💪🏻

Perhaps if Apple had the courage to reject Facebook, Twitter, and Uber we’d also see changes on those platforms.

Finally, the blog post we’ve all been waiting for:

Why write about lunch? by Brent Simmons

Oh, yeah, also Micro.blog is 1 year into its public life.

Oh, it’s Micro Monday again! I’d like to point you to @Miraz, who posts about a variety of subjects in a thoughful and considered manner and gives a look into her world all the way down there in glorious New Zealand; her photos are often stunning and make me super jealous. 😍

I just counted M&M’s. Can confirm am a super serious adult.
