short
I posted four issues of the bts newsletter in the past five weeks. Quite happy with that since it is an experimental outlet with no schedule; this is due to how actively I am working on TIL in private. Not long ago I wasn’t even doing that.
You can get the latest issue by following the newsletter.
If you’re interested in the new Micro.blog Collections feature and want to get started by first making a Collection, I posted the instructions for doing so.
Let’s see how well new posts are getting into the timeline.
I wonder who counts as an active user.
How quick are new posts?
To start a Collection, on the web for Micro.blog:
- Go to Uploads ->
- Go the address bar ->
- Add
/collections/new
to the end of the URL -> - Select “Enter/Return” to go to that address ->
- You should see the page for starting a Collection.
(Edit: There is now a New Collection
button.)
Testing Collections shortcode in a post, for @pratik and co:


My word for 2025: FOUNDATION.
England: home to ARM.
Also England: let’s spend consecutive decades doing nothing to double-down on this insanely good entity.
When I was in school, they removed the computers, the computer lab, and behaved as if computers didn’t exist.
“Great” Britain indeed.
I updated Safari and I’m pretty sure Apple decided “Oh hey you somehow switched off some of these things we think you should use.” and all I can think is “Fuck off, Tim.”
Listening to a remix of Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Les Gordon. 🎵
Finished a late night of work by sending out the new issue of bts and making two new blogs. Feels good 💪
Instead of publishing that snarky post I just wrote, I’m going to share this post of a Very Good Sweet Good Good Boy.
Now testing with a singular mention of @maique. Maybe two mentions was dangerous!
No free writing this morning. An intentional choice, which feels as good as having done the exercise.
