It’s that time of year when I think about this post from tones.

It was great to get to know Ridwan on Micro Monday. Something that leapt out to me was how he and Jean spoke about the personal blogging aspect of Micro.blog.

I think that’s my favourite part of our communities. I love seeing everybody’s stories from their lives.

Starting to have second thoughts about the Glass “Appreciation” feature. Maybe this is the good development path of the Like 🤔

Happy holidays! ❤️

Excited for Monday 👀

Christmas here is… different. Things are so different now, in such a good way.

Feature request for @monday:

Post quotes from the interviews. Give some quick micro-insight into the episode.

Would be good to see the Manton episode quotes also posted elsewhere across Micro.blog, especially relating to feature requests, the future, ethos, etc.

This reply is what happens when I’m tired and hungry. Don’t get me wrong, I think there are issues to be resolved but I don’t think things are that bad.

Time to return to my break, especially from heated topics 😪

How can I invite someone into a community that doesn’t recognize the power and violence of language, asymmetrically deployed by the privileged against the othered, that doesn’t truly respect the individual?

Time for a break. It’s been… a year.

Happy holidays everyone. Please be nice to each other. ❤️

See you all next year!

Glass now has likes. Oh well. It was nice whilst it lasted.

The feeling of reading and writing with paper and knowing that some idiot from a tech company can’t ruin your experience.

Big fan of the About section of Lisa Brennan-Jobs' website.

I wonder if I stopped blogging about TIL it would change anything.

I mean, the new newsletter feature means that people who really want to stay up-to-date don’t need to so much as care about my personal blog anymore.

Maybe it’s time for TIL to stand entirely on its own feet.

I’m going to write fiction again.

I am back on the train of thought regarding “feature phones”. I find the idea of separating my communication from a fully computerised device increasingly compelling.

I like people who put in the hard work of focus.

It is oh so easy to throw a thousand things a day out onto the internet with little thought. But truly good things, the types of things that are worth saying and sharing? Those require the hard work of focus.
