At last, today is the day. I am immensely proud to announce that JavaScript for Everyone is here.

Tell a friend, tell a Slack channel — write it on a slip of paper, fold it once, and slide it across your boss' desk without breaking eye contact. _It's time to get weird._

Anyone else's brain only stock those cheap kind of mental notes that fall off the wall far too easily?

LOL that's not what you say to an ADHD person without a blog Andy. Now I'm gonna end up deep dive researching ALL THE GOOD FOUNDRIES whilst designing a blog and fighting an existential crisis about what I will write about on it and fending off procrastination and perfectionism every other breath.

@strange.website This website as a garden metaphor seems to be onto something. Loving seeing personal websites popping up like wildflowers post WDC.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

We've reached the first tipping point (99% probability even if we'd manage to keep the 1.5 degree target) This means coral reefs on any meaningful scale will be lost. Nearly a billion people and a quarter of all marine life depend on them.

“They are like a cheat code, like a magic door – you enter, and suddenly, you find yourself on the inside of the conversation. The faces, the names, the people behind the blog posts — they become real. And you stop feeling like just being an observer of the Web community. You are now a part of it.”

I’m more convinced than ever of the importance of art right now.

Essentially he breaks down the science of the two ways our left and right brain hemispheres evolved to attend to the world, and how we’ve become dominated by our left brain’s “abstracted” world and ever removed from our right brain’s embodied connected view.

Jason Bradberry @jasonbradberry.bsky.social · 2d

The book is “Ways of Attending” by Ian Mcghilcrist in case you haven’t enabled media previews.

Listen to this. Listen to this. Listen to this. In a single hour this audiobook sums up why we’re in such a mess. And in doing so, makes the path out of the mess intuitively clear. open.spotify.com/show/216AbIs...
