A few low-level thought leaders who post on socials frequently write in a way that I just can’t understand. Their words sound smart, but they combine them in ways I can’t comprehend.
This isn’t even a critique. Some people tell me that my writing creates similar word puzzles for them.
@therealadam ❤️
@manton Me road tripping and constantly asking my watch "what's the population of [name of city I'm in]". 😆
@ericmwalk Thanks, it was a lovely day!
@DaveyCraney 👏 - definitely recommend a “table of contents” sort of page.
@jthingelstad Thank you, sir!
A little walk this morning for my birthday. Beautiful day out today!
I just finished reading Faces of the North. ★★★★★
@jthingelstad Very nice. Love the context!
@jthingelstad We haven’t tried classifieds. Will think about that one!
@jthingelstad Thanks! We did do a sponsorship in the spring. I don’t think it quite paid for itself (you can never totally understand the long tail of those things), but we may explore another one at some point.
@adam So far it’s either “write a spot” or “rundown why Pika” for the hosts to jump off from. We shall see how things evolve!
Planning a few podcast advert experiments for Pika this fall. I hope that it helps a few more people find Pika!
@kimonostereo Ah, cool. I'm not sure if we're prepared to mesh well with school bureaucracy, but if you want to explore it definitely write us. Either way, good luck finding a workable solution!
@bradbarrish Thank you!
I don’t think you’re ready for letsjelly.com
@ericmwalk Great shot!
@jsonbecker If you're in the area and like fancy chocolate, I recommend Mon Aimee Chocolat. Boundless selection.
@bradbarrish Nice! This is my daily sports score site: plaintextsports.com
Wow, I’ve never even heard of Naltrexone before. It appears that perhaps there should be multiple treatment options for alcohol addiction–who’d’a thunk it?! Very interesting podcast from Reflector: The Sea Change.
Moved our oldest to her first non-our-home, non-dorm place this weekend. 16 months until graduation. 🕰️🪰
Moving your kid into their first off campus housing and all the IKEA furniture? This is highly recommended.
@patrickrhone @adam @ericmwalk @jthingelstad Thank you all, you're very kind. And with your own writing you each inspire me to keep it going!
@jean I will be FOMO’ing from here. We (Good Enough) really wanted to attend, but it just didn’t work out. Have a blast!
@toddgrotenhuis @jthingelstad Yeah…I don’t know if I’m ready to drop $120/year on search. (I search a lot.) I get the draw, but it seems search with ads and no creepy tracking is a fine business model if Google didn’t monopolize things. Rage, rage against the dying of the light, etc. 🤣
I’m sad to say I’m finding much better search results on Google than DDG. It’s been many years, but I might be heading back…
@jabel That sounds good, thanks! My only big financial worry is FAFSA for the kids. I’m not 100% sure, but don’t think that pulls a credit report (since we’re not looking at PLUS loans).
@jabel Nice! Does unfreezing mean unfreezing for all three services for both people?
@chriswm ❤️
That’s great that I Cheerfully Refuse is sticking with you! Peace Like a River is definitely a slow burn. I really enjoyed Virgil Wander as well, but it’s kind of pointed right at me since I grew up in a small Minnesota town where my parents owned the local two-screen movie theater.
Any US-folk have experience enabling fraud alerts or security freezes with credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion)? I think I’ve hit the tipping point in data breach letters such that I should probably do something, but I also don’t want to make my life overly painful going forward.
I’m trying Halide and it’s a bit overwhelming. For instance, I’m trying Process Zero and does it require RAW files? I have a fair bit of storage, but that seems a hurdle to using Halide as my primary camera app
It took me a long while, but I finished reading Shōgun. Now I can finally watch the show!
That’s pretty cool. It’s like we’re watching TV again!
It’s that time of the decade again. Time to think about getting new speakers for my home stereo. 🔈🔉🔊
That moment when you realize the name-drop in the nonfiction book you’re reading is your daughter’s third-grade teacher’s uncle. 😆
