The Friends WordPress plugin, Mastodon Apps, and ActivityPub plugins have come a LONG way in the last few years. With some setup, and a few tightly-coupled plugins, you can make your blog a fully-functioning WordPress-based private Mastodon instance. It’s amazing!

Experimenting with the a Mastodon app connecting directly to my blog. No idea where this is gonna go or how it works, but seems pretty cool.
Set up the friends plugin today and followed a bunch of people I used to follow on Fosstodon. Curious to see if all of this populates this app natively.

This little update on my site makes me so happy. My following of people who follow my website directly as opposed to following on social continues to grow. I still strongly believe that federation is the future of a healthier, happier (see: not “dead”) web.

I need to record myself flying this Tantrum kite sometime. On gusty days it’s a real workout. When the gusts die down, you have to sprint a bit to find the window and keep the kite in the air. When the gust is up, you’re basically rowing to keep the kite from pulling you away. So much fun!

Exercise has to be fun for me, or I just won’t do it. Today’s workout was brought to you by autumn wind, and my Tantrum 220. I think I might be dying. 🥵

I was wearing a black shirt when I made this pizza today. By the time I was done, I looked like a freaking Holstein 🤣
The pizza came out great! I think maybe it was a bit thinner than I wanted but that’s just because I have too much fun tossing it.

A chunk of my team is out of the office this week, so I’m playing quadruple duty this week. I’m really glad I have my time budgeting and task management in-place, because I’d be completely off the rails right now.
Nothing reminds you of how much your team does for you when you’re not looking like suddenly losing a few of them for a week. So grateful for their help.

I started a batch of pizza dough over the weekend and OMG it came out so good. I used Forkish’s same day pizza dough. Sat in fridge overnight. Cooked on a pizza stone cranking the heat up as high as I could.
I’ve historically cooked my pizzas in cast iron, but I think I’m a convert after this.
