It’s helpful when apps have a web version so I can access them from my work laptop, which I keep mostly clean from personal apps and data. And thusly, despite being a long-time Things fan, I find myself back on app.todoist.com this morning.

Pride was a bit truncated for me this year. Eryn, EJ, and I went to the Trans March on Friday and (part of) the Dyke March on Saturday, but I spent Sunday—the day of the Pride Parade—flying to Geneva for work. Eryn and EJ, however, met...
I literally had to stop what I was doing and write about this immediately. This is a nerdy, programming language thing, but it’s a thing that made me smile and filled me with hope. I first heard about the Zig Programming Language years...
I was a guest on James's Wonders of Web Weaving podcast and it was such a lovely conversation. We talked about old teenage blogs, how I found the IndieWeb community, why I think now is the best time to be your full weird self online, and...
