I've been playing around with the Jetpack app (Android version on my Samsung S21) to write, edit and post to WordPress and I'm REALLY loving it. It's *so* intuitive-- cool things like when you do a hard return, it makes a new block, and the blocks have arrows to move them up and down, etc. It's wild. It's also really easy to format things, and I'm finding the UI excellent and easy to figure out without much thought at all, which is a total surprise. Should've been using this earlier!

Another week of rest till I can resume picking things up for the #collection so already got it worked out and the budget locked in just a matter now of getting a few other things.

This week there were more from there than the US, Russia, and Germany (usually Nos. 2 and 3) combined. Could it have been the spy chiefs who were meeting there? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-04/shangri-la-dialogue-security-meeting-singapore-spy-chiefs/102438900
AI *and* the block editor... yay?
At least it's a paid/optional feature. But still, a major blogging platform's newest innovation is "something to do writing for you (with mediocre results)"... *sigh*.
WordPress has a new AI tool that will write blog posts for you - The Verge
Not thrilled by this - I can see AI use for touch-ups in certain situations, but I do not want a built-in assistant for writing entire posts. I know folks could do this before using outside tools, but now it's feels sanctioned and encouraged by #WordPress

I published a new post on my blog! Oh, also: I have a #blog!
It's called Languages of Culture and it's about works of art created in languages other than English. Music, books, films, art. Anything and everything.
Anyways, today's topic: The Book of Whispers by Varujan Vosganian.
@indieauthornews Interesting blog. There's a lot to consider when creating a website, e.g. content and marketing. Thank you for sharing your blog.

I've been struggling to figure out what to do with my life on a creative level. On one hand I like to make video games, but I also like to draw comics. Sometimes I think that having a YouTube channel would be a good idea, and sometimes I think that maybe I should just write down my mind on a blog instead.

I finally fixed something that had been broken on my website (Wordpress) for months. I briefly broke something else in the process, but managed to fix that too. Fingers crossed it's all working now!

Here's a bit about me.
I write a blog.
I record a podcast.
I used to be on another instance, but I migrated back over here when it just didn't feel lively enough to me. I lean liberal. I read books. I'm kinda religious, but don't identify as anything in particular.

Wrote a draft of a blog post. Left it alone. Came back to it later and disagreed with myself. That is why I blog. Blogging is how I think.
A quote from me in 2013:
> “writing, for me, is my way of deep thinking. I then get to edit my thoughts. What a beautiful idea! To write something down that you're thinking about and, rather than the thought simply going away, you can go back and begin to craft that idea and mold your own opinion until you can fully come to a conclusion”

"This is not a remotely fair deal for those of us on the 'putting stuff up on the web for free' side of the equation. It doesn’t matter whether it’s illegal or not—though legislation is probably the only way to get the tech industry to stop it—because the social contract is broken." @baldur
Baldur's clear-eyed takes on the hype and risks of tech's current fascination with #AI continues. Has the #Cluetrain been derailed? ☹️

wrote a post about co-existing with my broken mind: "To co-exist with my broken mind, I have to learn how to be a caregiver to it. I have to be sensitive to my mind’s feelings, and yet challenge it, but I can’t push it too far. I have to compassionate to its damage, but I cannot allow it to be the automatic pilot of my life." https://winnielim.org/journal/co-existing-with-my-broken-mind/
So I'm experimenting with the way I use #Substack.
Posts are now free to read for everyone, but will lock a few weeks after publication.
I always appreciate it when #Medium members choose to read my work on that platform, but for everyone else, you won't miss out if you have a read before the lock-out time.
I'm thankful for my paid subscribers on Substack, and think it's fair that access to archives should be one of the perks of membership.

Hi All, I've been approached to have a couple of links scattered throughout my blog. Not necessarily going to say yes, but does anyone have any ideas what my asking rate should be? Even ballpark numbers?
Working on a piece about writing, WordPress, blogs and such and it's getting too long to put the full thing on here as a post. 😂 I'll probably just throw a snippet here and link to the full thing on WordPress when it's ready.
My wife and I are big cartoon watchers, which is something we bonded over when we first met. Several years before we met, I had started a cartoon blog just for kicks and to talk about my favorite shows (I still write on it sometimes: https://animatedtvblog.wordpress.com).
When wifey and I first met, we especially bonded over things like The Simpsons, Futurama, Bob's Burgers, and American Dad. We even did a podcast together last year where we recorded and released a new episode every day in October that covered *every* Treehouse of Horror episode so far, with a segment-by-segment breakdown (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podcast-of-horror).
My favorite Simpsons episodes change a lot, and I like the later seasons too (including the current one- I've seen every episode of the show to date multiple times 🤣). One of my top favorite episodes is season 12's "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes". It's such a bizarre and hilarious episode with so many facets- Homer buying his first computer, starting a website (see the still of 'Homer's Web Page' below), and then being whisked away to a weird island because they think he knows too much.
It also has what might be my favorite chalkboard gag of all time, as Bart is writing 'I will only provide a urine sample when asked'. 🤣🤣
I love weird animation so much.

I've been making improvements to Tuff, my homemade static site generator, for several months. These small updates begin to add up. So much so that I'm confident I'll be using Tuff for many years to come.
I wrote a blog post about these improvements including the new not-so-static search feature!
I've started a new #blog — Stumble.Press — to informally capture experiences and reflections as I figure out this new life as a local #newspaper #publisher. #journalism #localnews #blogging https://stumble.press
@bridgetown is Ruby's best static site generator, and here is why.

Updated my blog’s homepage. A small "cosmic" running in the background using SVG animateMotion. Still experimenting.
Recently added a "Penpal" page.
Cleaned up a bit of the CSS. Some adjustments to the layout. It feels neater.
So...I have resumed blogging. How wonderful it is to be writing again for myself, not for any deadlines nor to fulfill any SEO requirement.
Will I be able to sustain this? I sure hope so.
If you would be so kind, please give it a read. Thank you! 😁
