you’re standing in the kitchen. you’re falling. you’re washing a plate. the air rushes past and you can’t breathe. you put it in the dishwasher. you’re so dizzy you can hardly stand. you pick up another plate.

It doesn't really matter if it's good or not. Good comes with time, and practice, and building your style up from the trash like a magpie lining its nest with the shiniest things that catch its eye. Doing it is what matters. You've got to. It will never become good if you don't.

good afternoon and happy boxing day everyone jyn.dev/pre-commit-h...

MAZES AND TRAPS

it’s a strange feeling to have been treading water for as long as I can remember and suddenly realize that I can touch the bottom

girl who is a library the longer she stays in a place, the more bookshelves, mysteriously populated, slip into being around her, never when you're looking

that folgers ad, but it does not take place at home. we are in a small coffee shop. the brother did not know that his sister had moved to the city. but there she is, behind the counter. things ended strangely, between them, but if he's honest, he's missed her. he waits in line, anxiously. she smiles

being mean to computers is easy, free, and legal. try it today!

"artists do art for ~*the process*~" idk pal. I do art because the angels scream louder when I don't

Lots of different parts spoke to me but yeah maybe more than anything the idea that if something seems far away you can just start walking towards it and maybe if you keep walking you'll get there eventually has been something I've tried less eloquently to share with others.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

like, it's no secret that the key to getting good at things is to do things a bunch, but it is a little less obvious that you gotta enjoy being bad at a thing if you wanna be good at it

OH: just got an email so insanely stupid that i had to draft an 800 word response and then deleted the draft

after the Simplification, the witches had to practice their art in secret, lest the mobs tear them apart for their learnings. they brushed off accusations of literacy as nonsense, calling it merely a subtle magic—tone of voice here, choice of words there. in actuality, it was a science finely honed.

long descent from grace, wings flailing, unflightworthy; joyful vertigo

in this world, an english speaker might say that the dominant power is the "united states", but they don't mean the united states we know they mean "los estados unidos de méxico"

the main threat to a jyn is catastrophic resonance at its natural frequency, and special care must be given to introduce dampening mechanisms before exposing to sustained high forces. secondary threats include fraying; stretching; and sharp piercings, such as from scissors, knives, or needles

alt history where the louisiana territory stays culturally french but has a revolution to become independent; spain keeps the western US but mexico still has a revolutionary war; and Greater Mexico is the dominant superpower in north america

i should redo this meme but for submodules

post a meme made by you

my packaging labeled “Our chickens are raised with NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER“ is raising a lot of questions already answered by the packaging

There’s something meditative about walks, long walks, hours long walks. The movement becomes natural, fluid, something that leaves me landsick when it goes away

Have you ever stood outside in the thunderstorm and felt the rain upon your skin? Tempting the lightning?

I’ve always loved the smell of tobacco and gasoline. There’s something about killing yourself slowly to live a little more quickly that’s always appealed to me.

It’s 16 miles to the promised land, and I promise you, I’m doing the best I can

all forms of programming are a kind of worship of the machine God. countless eons have been spent turning its appendages into a facsimile of a unified whole. its acolytes strain their eyes, seeking a glimpse of beauty in the chaos. and hoping, yearning, for a miracle, its hour come round at last.

optimism is not a plan and “I’m sure it will work out somehow“ is actively insulting

I'm only partway through @jyn.dev's excellent blog post, and I love it so much that I insist you all read it. jyn.dev/the-terminal...

My strong belief is that you should be able to ask a program how it wants to be talked to, so you can: * cross check binary compatibility at runtime * download schemas for codegen or proc gen'd docs * dynamically generate tool paths for a repl/cli lib/api translator
