I like Blazers (#ripcity), Angels, WordPress, your mom, sleep, and not getting headaches.

A person is the sum of their life, with a heavy recency bias.
So, you are not defined by your worst day. But you have serious work to do today, especially if that “worst day” was last week.
But, if that day was years ago, let it go.

I’ve been asked about Substack several times, and this thread is worth reading. IMO the only reason to use a platform like this (that you don’t own) is the network effect. If they can’t deliver, go somewhere else. Own your content. I self-host my newsletter for this reason.
I've written about this elsewhere, but the longer you're on Substack the harder it is to move. I've been on Beehiiv for a year now and I'm really happy I made the switch. The "growth" Substack is showing you is absolutely not real and you will find that out very quick when you leave the network!
substack just announced a new enterprise media offering (whatever that means) in partnership with bari weiss’ website “because of its commitment to pursuing high-integrity journalism.”
if you’re still publishing there, it’s time to get the fuck out.

Sad and frustrating.
The #WordPress project and community are so unhealthy that even now, when the toxicity is painfully obvious and on full display, it’s leaders are still too afraid to risk their place in a noxious ecosystem to call for real change. That’s terribly sad. www.therepository.email/wordpress-co...

Got a little sidetracked today, but finished v1 of the options page for this little side project, dubbed "Bluesky for WordPress".
Next up is automatically sharing new posts to Bluesky (with some options), and then integrating replies to that Bluesky post into your site's comments.
