@pratik yeah, the only thing I thought made sense, and only in the hands of a super small organization like Micro.blog, is being able to determine what to work on flexibly and shift as-needed. The rest sounds Very Bad, and the bigger the team, the more planning you need.

@briandigital It's not currently accessible. @manton can speak to this better than I can't but I think a sort of reverse-curator who is specifically looking for community code of conduct violations and could hide them from an everything-timeline might be able to meet this need.

@manton Isn't this what agile is meant to be? It sounds like Sunshine had/has other problems.

@numericcitizen It's mostly about reading literally Every. Single. Post. and deciding whether to feature it. It's not time-consuming (it can be done in 30 minutes to an hour each day) but because you are seeing everything everyone has to say, it is not without an emotional impact. I think when I can spare more time for M.b, working with Manton to figure out how to make a team-based approach work will be a priority.

@pratik I'm really hoping to come back to curating Discover, but just don't have the bandwidth now due to not just the new job but also health stuff with myself and my family. I think community work beyond Discover will be beyond my capacity. My hope when I come back is to update at least daily or every other day on weekdays.

@DaveyCraney It was the wild kids using the library as a place at recess that broke me. I ended up closing library recess at the actual time it closes instead of letting kids stick around a few minutes longer, because I was just worn down.

Today: a cascade of tough stuff. My hypothyroid symptoms are still mysterious, I forgot my work key, my work plans got waylaid, I cleaned up a nasty literal mess, my mom is in extra poor health, and children were extra wild. My resilience is low right now. But I have a good migraine treatment plan.

Sarah MacLean is just so good. This is likeโฆ A 3.5 on the romance.io scale? The language is slightly (but only slightly) euphemistic; itโs pretty clear exactly whatโs happening where.

Apparently my mid-life crisis is mostly watching Derry Girls and thinking, โYes! Thatโs exactly what it felt like to be a teen girl in the mid-to-late 90sโ while wishing everyone understood that a combination of En Vogue and Enya is the perfect soundtrack. ๐บ๐ต

This has a steam rating of ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ.
A very early Kleypas. Be warned: the hero is a Confederate veteran. Apparently, he opposed slavery but fought for the Confederacy anyway.

@patrickrhone Yes, some of my recent purchases are the result of my moving the other direction. I tend to budget about $400/year for clothes.

@patrickrhone I don't have the patience to watch a video right now (so tired!) but just that quote is fascinating. I think it's a rare year I buy more than 20 new items of clothing, including thrifting.

Hi. Iโm Kimberly and caring for my chronically ill body is a lot of work.

@KimberlyHirsh
@mbkriegh Thanks! I hope so too. Currently trying to figure out why I have hypothyroid symptoms with normal/hyperthyroid hormone levels.
Kimberly Hirsh
@KimberlyHirsh
Yay, my doctor ordered antibody tests and a thyroid ultrasound. Itโs such a treasure to have a doctor who trusts you when you describe your symptoms.

@antonzuiker That does sound fun!

@pratik Thanks. I'm usually hypo but being in the middle of an autoimmune attack can make me hyper. I don't feel hyper but as low as my numbers sometimes are, maybe the numbers I have now are high for me but not high enough to give me hyper symptoms.

Got lab results today, my thyroid numbers look great but I feel very specifically like a Kimberly whose thyroid is not functioning properly & my other labs look like those of same Kimberly so maybe hashitoxicosis? Talking to my doctor Monday.

Austin Kleonโs newsletter is the one that I let come to my inbox even after Iโve switched all the rest to RSS. You should read the preview of this and if you like it, do the 7-day trial so you can read the whole thing.

@dwalbert I think my brain wants to be more than 24 years out of a century before we drop the decades but I think my brain also believes it's 1998.
Kimberly Hirsh
@KimberlyHirsh
@odd "mid-21st-century"? I don't know, I'm crotchety and tired and want the world to accommodate my brain that thinks of 1981-Y2K as the only real time. I know this is an unreasonable desire.
Kimberly Hirsh
@KimberlyHirsh
I just feel like we need to be more specific than saying things like โIn the 1900sโ or โIn the mid-1900s.โ Could we not give a decade? If I see โmid-1900sโ Iโm all, โ1905? 1906โ not โ1966.โ
