I did a thing! I got the Hacktoberfest 2025: Supercontributor badge from Hacktoberfest @hacktoberfest @digitalocean! www.holopin.io/hacktoberfes...

ok so the @torc.dev community is home to a bunch of cool devs, we know this. but a bunch of them have awesome blogs that should be followed... so I whipped up a lil site to aggregate the latest blog posts from members of the community. it's called... 🔥 blorc 🔥 check it out: blorc.netlify.app

The final boss of inline class names. Holy smokes.

Do you use a pomodoro app to stay focused? Do you get distracted looking for instrumental music on youtube? Do you use @raycast.com? If so, wow ok that's pretty specific! But also, if so, then maybe this lil post I made is of interest to you. michaelraymond.dev/posts/script...

yo wtf I can’t believe this is real

Spent too much time on this

Do you use homebrew? I feel like the Brewfile doesn't get enough shine, so I wrote a lil blurb about it. Check it out! or don't! michaelraymond.dev/posts/homebrew

I'm tired of people telling me 'Get well soon!' You wouldn't say that to someone with an incurable cancer, disease, or other health issue. Why would you say it to someone with Long COVID? Please take the time to read up research and people's first hand experiences if you don't understand enough.

Really enjoyed getting to know @choir241.bsky.social better. Really fun and super nice person. Richard, I know you're busy but you gotta do me a solid and finally watch the live action The Last of Us. It's too good!

Finally got the chance to have a coffee chat with @michaelraymond.dev after talking to them through all the @torc.dev events!!! Enjoyed getting to yap with him and nerd out about a variety of movies, we got pretty passionate about Avatar the Last Airbender 😁

Rest in peace:

Revamped my blog/portfolio site ✨ Migrated from @hashnode.bsky.social to an @astro.build site hosted on @netlify.com. It's a blog, it's a portfolio, it's a ... blogolio! Check it out if you want, it's ok I guess michaelraymond.dev

TIL how to get google calendars that have been shared to you to show up in apple calendar. You go to this page that hasn't been touched since 2009 and make sure they are checked ☑️ calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0... like wat.. we should maybe keep this on the DL tho so google doesn't kill it

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

The “we should be able to disagree and still be friends” people are about to work my last nerve. This mindset works with a lot of topics but not when the disagreement is around racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc.

No it's fine, let me just...try and go back to my daily tasks after looking at the election polls. It should not be close. Go vote - it matters. Please.

feel like mf Ash trying to catch all these starter packs

take Nate be like breaks

sup bluesky! I guess I'm going to start actually using this thing. Since I'm on bluesky, I'm either a developer or an anime artist. I'll let you guess. But here's a hint: I suck at drawing and I suck at coding 😉
