@mark It was my default for a long-time. I wanted to go back to it a week or two ago (because there's always printing drama with Typora) and I was bummed it's gone. Typora and i are good again, tho

Ya know, I mostly abandoned Twitter (where I was active, possibly unhealthfully so) a few months back, and also disabled my "cross poster" (which only posted my Mastodon post to Twitter, not the other way around, because @Gargron said he preferred to avoid polluting the Fediverse with Twitter depravity, and I thought that was a fair point). I haven't regretted the transition.

Imagine there existed a cooperative dedicated to bringing GNOME forward, and its members worked full time on polishing the ecosystem.
If the designers and engineers announced their projects, and a communication team kept you posted of progress.
Would you throw money at it? And how would you contribute?

Whenever I'm caught up on writing I don't know what to do. Hence this toot.

So there's still 3x matching funds left but only for the next 14 new @conservancy supporters! If you're waiting to donate now's the time! Just 1 day left in 2019! Totally unrelatedly, did you know that December's stressful for folks who work at nonprofits? https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/
Lining up my 2020 writing projects and already feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Maybe I should stick to surprising myself with deadlines?

good post about how nerd communities' mass-adoption of the closed and proprietary Discord platform will inevitably lead to the long-term loss of (or loss of access to) mountains of special-interest group knowledge and community history

Me: I need to leave in two minutes. This is an appropriate time to update a machine you haven't used in months.
My old machine: Hahaha! Zzzzzzzz

Very excited to be interviewed for The Plain Text Project: https://t.co/2C6stn2G6a
It's essential reading if you want to hear me go on about document formatting, which, sadly, is one of my passions.
Wow! I really love the simplified Mastodon web interface! I just noticed the option from the Patreon email.
Heard Lately #5: Leo “Bud” Welch-The Angels In Heaven Done Signed My Name review: "If this had been billed as a Welch/Auerbach side project/band, I’d love this album to death."
This video is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoM-tQOOcPw
Screenwriter Emily Carmichael writes a scene on-camera in 7 minutes and then revises. Huge insights into her process.

I hate that person eating smelly food in the coworking space because he looks just like me and has the same computer as me and ... oh wait. Never mind.
Kobe Bryant and I are more alike than I dreamed! #amwriting

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted these on Instagram from her trip to Puerto Rico. It’s tragic that Puerto Rican’s have basically been abandoned by the US government but It sounds like there are so many #solarpunk things going on there, a lot to learn from definitely
I'm somehow ahead on a few writing projects which is only slightly less stressful than being behind.

@hugh I often won’t even fill in the recipient field on an email (instead opting to store recipient data in the body of the mail) until I’m feeling VERY CONFIDENT about sending.

I'm super excited (and proud) that I just uploaded a work project (on #OER) into GitHub as (mostly) Markdown files: https://github.com/stevenov/textbook-evaluation-toolkit

OMG, I just discovered packing cubes. 👀
How did I not know these existed?
I just want to get in the car and drive straight to IKEA and buy them now now now, even though I don't have any trips planned.
