I’m thrilled to see that Automattic is backing the ActivityPub plugin! This is a big deal for WordPress and it’s future, and it gladdens me to see heavy hitters like A8C contributing to something as important as this.

I got my Tiny Shiny Home hat today! I’m a huge fan of their content and picked up a hat during one of their livestreams earlier this year.

So this week, we happen to be parked somewhere that’s close-enough to a family member that they were able to come out and park beside us for a few days. I’m so happy to see a familiar face!
That’s one thing I didn’t expect about travel – I always thought I was basically saying “bye” to everyone for years on end, but it hasn’t played out like that. We get to see family a few times a year.

So last night, I did a thing to website. If you’re on desktop, do not click on the clock button in the top-right corner. Things get weird.

Bear Ghost is an adventurous rock band out of Phoenix. I discovered them through a Slack channel when someone recommended them. They have somewhat silly subject matters in their music, but it’s always fun, unique, and never lacking in good instrumentation.
Give ’em a listen sometime.

I just realized that the Jetpack app supports group blocks(!)
This means that if I want to publish a thread, I can put each intended “post” in individual group inside a single WP post. That allows me to thread things, but also delineate between the items for threads on social.
It’s not quite as good as a native block, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. If only I could register my own block in the Jetpack app…sigh. I wish that was possible, because I could make a block that is such a better experience than what I have now.
