On the one hand, the page content is just a .gif of what a webpage might look like and it loads a version of jQuery from 2014, but on the other hand it says "envelop" and I like that

Stacking these methods is the functional equivalent of having a secret portrait in the attic

I love him, thank you for sharing

"It's not like it used to be" == "I moved to the outer suburbs and go downtown once a year, which is somehow your fault"

Being kinda bad at something is a perfectly valid destination, too. I love it when someone's eye and imagination clearly have a vision but their hands simply aren't trained to cooperate, it's so human and charming

In Toronto it collapsed well before covid, as skyrocketing rents and deliberately anti-fun action by the city rapidly degraded everyone's stability and access to physical spaces. We're now seeing a resurgence, though, driven in large part by kids who lost their high-school years to the pandemic

All else aside, anyone who calls me "an account" is getting blocked

Looking forward to this! BTW for future posts we are currently in Eastern Standard Time or EST, as Daylight Time ended in November (or you could just use ET and not have to worry about that)

You're welcome!

I agree that there are productive and unproductive ways to engage with those topics, and X has long since ceased to be productive. My feed here is certainly not short of death nor politics, but the tone is decidedly less hostile and more oriented toward solutions

What is important here is that this is a public forum, where everything we post is observed by both allies and enemies alike, and the decision to engage with critical or hostile commentary always needs be considered within that context

I might prefer "productive" as a descriptor simply because "positive" has more cultural baggage to overcome; it doesn't inherently imply "good vibes only", but will often be interpreted that as such, which bad-faith actors will levy as supposed evidence of coercive control or suppression of dissent

It's not the same thing in the same way that another artist riffing on my work is different from a t-shirt bot

If someone has a legitimate concern and I'm the right person to hear it, they will know a more appropriate way to approach me

Doing our infighting in public is a massive tactical failure, and I'm really not interested in addressing criticisms from people who aren't also working with me toward solutions, so an app like this is almost never going to be the right place for such discussions
