I made one website because I was angry, but a lot of good actually came out of it. It’s been a learning lesson. I want to be less angry.

As sad and asinine as that argument was, at least I got a new website out of it. Instead of working on my already existing websites, haha.

Decided to open up X and yeah the artists trying to make a living there are just as stressed out and insane as I remember. No thanks! 🙏

Looking forward to ACTUALLY having time to work on my websites. About freakin’ time.

I still have 15,250 emails left to clear out, but I’ve done 700 so far. It’s a little progress but it’s progress. My poor Inbox…

I need to stop reading about Internet browsers and actually work on my website. My two new websites… in addition to my old website… Sigh…

Saw an artist on a Mastodon instance saying he gets way better interactions on the instance, even though he has 4× followers elsewhere.

So I open up Bluesky to see how it is, and apparently they’re banning adult women for talking about wearing diapers. Amazing AI automoderation.

Peeping on ArtStation jobs and one of the newest job listings is “Digital Colorist - NSFW Gay Artwork”, for the game Gay Harem.

My favourite memeposter on Twitter deleted their posts and locked their account. I get why they did it, but feels like the end of an era

I guess, I just have a lot of thoughts to share. I don’t know. At least, I don’t feel pent-up anymore, since joining the forum. …I feel OK.

I’ll go back to making my professional website when I start feeling professional again. The urge to make maximalist designs must be heeded.

Uhhhhhhh can I just make my Status Cafe my main blog? Got way too invested in CSS and now I wanna long-form blog. Rofl. I’ll just cop it—

Spending way too much time customising my Status Cafe but I’m having fun. Oh yeah, I should put a new audio book on.

Strange having to sort through 15-year-old bookmarks to sites that are no longer online. A lot hasn’t been archived. Only the bookmark name.

r/minneapolis lives rent-free in my mind. And yeah, I’m going to get rid of that stupid argument now. The dumbass probably lives in St Paul.

Currently reading: “The Post-Peak Attention Economy” (2019) by MIDiA Research. Market analysis paper.

Keeping off the big app platforms (e.g. X) has been great! I’ve been using my browser Bookmarks again to save my favourite websites…

Looking through the websites of the latest status.cafe posters, and good gods some of these sites are amazing. I love the Indie Web. <3

One thing I like about status.cafe is that there are no Likes. You’re not pressured to compete against other users or yourself to be witty.
