Don't buy flowers at a monastery. Because only you can prevent florist friars.

Okay for every like this post gets, I'll tell you to stop liking this post, it's not very good.

Today marks the first time #git absolutely saved my butt on a collaborative writing process.

In one git checkout command, several hours of my partner's work came back from the abyss created by my stupidity.

Version control, for writers. Just do it.

Script writing session took hours this evening.

Much coffee was slain, and I think the clowns and I might be on to something interesting.

Now the hard part, making the silly thing work.

So Shakespeare used to write plays, and he'd put on this big dramatic scenes with everyone sat around a table and a ghost of the dead father gets all spooky.

But then Will has a problem. He has to tidy up the stage for the next scene, so what does he do?

He has the lead come forward stage and writes them a monologue to fill the time while the stage is cleared.

What are the best parts of Shakespeare?

The monologues.

Good art comes from necessity and embracing problems.

This evening @Avalon made a handmade #decktet card deck out of index cards and proceeded to positively trounce me in an addictive little game called Emu Ranchers.

We found the idea here: http://www.decktet.com

Her deck was made using #tokipona symbols rather than Decktet's 'official' glyphs, leading us to call our newfound addiction "waso nasa".

There's a whole wiki full of games to explore.

Oh my goodness. The name is lovely and it has a good mascot potential.

But English is a mess. 😨

Hey @glimpse

My suggestion for the #glimpse project:

Because we need more programs called fish.

If you want to make a softer, kinder, and better world, your best bet is to start be treating yourself softly, with kindness, and as well as you can.

It can be so easy for us to dismiss our own needs, to tear ourselves apart, and to treat ourselves far worse than we would dream of treating (practically) anyone else... but uhhh if you're working to hold up others? You are going to need a strong foundation.

That foundation is going to have to be you friend. Be fuckin nice to you.

Hi all, tell me one thing that brought you joy this week?

🌶️ : Im going to stop buying into the industry narrative about ad blockers. They are not ad blockers, they are content blockers. The content I am choosing to control happens to come from advertising networks that have proven to be vectors for malware infections and misbehaviour for years. I'm not blocking ads, I'm not stealing from you, I'm protecting my systems just like I would with an anti-virus program.

"Amateur” has come to mean “nonprofessional” or “unpaid.”

But the word is derived from the French aimer (“to love”) and literally means someone who “loves” what they do.

Why’d you have to go and leave things undocumented?
I see the way you’re hacking like you’re independent gets me discontented
Life’s like this you
You crash and you patch and code breaks
And I take what you left and then I have to
Figure out what’s unintended versus what is how you meant it,
No, no, no

"Do you have a moment?" the empath said.
"Of course, dear," said the telepath.
"You know I can't help reading feelings?"
"Yes?"
"Please read my mind."
"If you... Oh. I don't love you any more?"
"I thought you ought to know."
"Thank you. I still like you?"
"Yes."
"Enough?"
"Yes."
