Though it's far from polished, I finally got my Standard Notes blog up and running. Eventually I'll have it looking better. And I do intend to keep blogging at write.as, but I envision my write.as and my Standard Notes blogs developing differently from each other. Both are linked in my Fostodon profile, BTW.

I just heard a soccer mom say she is going to build her own website so she can get off of Facebook. If this sentiment has moved all the way into the soccer mom realm, Facebook is in trouble.

I like this. A CSS library designed to work with plain HTML tags (no classes). It's like HTML pre-CSS, but more attractive :) https://igoradamenko.github.io/awsm.css/index.html
Though I've been a happy WordPress user for many years, recent wonkiness at my personal website has me remembering how peaceful things were when I used a hand-coded, static site.

Out of consideration for the sensibilities of the readers of my different blogs, I publish them separately from each other. For my own convenience, I keep one central location where they can all be seen. Of course, everyone can follow that central location via RSS, but I doubt if anyone does that.

Sharing an Open Source app to check your activity
Much of my morning has been spent deleting news feeds that no longer interest me from #Liferea, and adding #rss feeds of blogs recently found and enjoyed.

We all have heard the Pro one-sided media encouraging the masquerade.
There are two sides to every mask, so to speak.
Here is an interesting article by Patrick Fagan on the Cons of wearing a mask.
Have you heard of Menticide?
