For folks in Canada or who have access otherwise, it is also on CBC Gem (with ads)! I haven't watched yet but the preview made me cry 🤣

💯 Totally! You're well on your way. I don't have bsky on my phone, TBH. And the bank app thing is funny, I'm such an elder millennial - I have to do that stuff on my laptop, haha.

For me, putting some of those apps 'behind the curtain' so they're not on the home screen(s) is enough for me to just forget they exist.

Always amusing to me that the music that was the soundtrack of me rebelling as a teenager is now the music I run to as an adult to stay healthy.

This 2023 post (bobhutchins.medium.com/the-rise-of-...) from @bobhutchins.bsky.social has me contemplating about most of my internet activities: what contributes to creating this cozy space for myself and others and what is just noise to distract me?

I'm curious about this as well. I keep meaning to research things like ProtonMail, but it manages to get booted down the priority list every week.

Oooh, so we have a cherry tree and would you believe that making candied cherries has NEVER occurred to me...

Re-watching Oceans 8 and remembering my standard for friendship in my forties is “would I trust them on a heist?”

Learning is great but structure of academia is not-so-great. Remember that grades are somewhat subjective a lot of the time & don't necessarily reflect the actual absorption of knowledge in your brain. I find it helpful to find grounding in what I'm actually looking to gain in knowledge.

Is there some sort of Corey VHS Foundation where people can donate their old VHS? Or send their VHS out to pasture in hopes it 'makes' the collection? (I'm thinking for when my VCR finally fades away...)
