it’s so funny reading old books. tbf this is preferable to the awkard he/she, overtaken now by just 'she'. WHEN ALL THIS TIME, THE GENDER NEUTRAL 'THEY' IS RIGHT THERE.

i can't believe i'm saying this but i need the tech bros (gender neutral) to weigh in
a question for the tech folks...
i’m helping someone build a VERY simple, 1pg static site (11ty + netlify or github pages probs). i want to show them how to update it themselves...
should I just keep them in github or show them how to use the CLI and an editor?

i read an article about how Clarkson's gross politics didn't come through in his farming show (compared to things he's said/written elsewhere)
