Technically your post should have been posted as a u-repost-of of the original post. Also it doesn’t appear that you have the requisite mf2 data on your page for all that stuff to work. I’d recommend taking a look at my introduction to the IndieWeb since there’s a lot of ways where this could be a lot better!

In particular I’d recommend looking at the full IndieWeb Wordpress plugin which handles the mf2 markup as well as doing all the webmention stuff for you.

Visual snow syndrome fluffy rambles

A few days ago I happened upon this video about visual snow syndrome and I watched it even thinking that it was kinda clickbaity, since I always figured that visual snow syndrome is something that a lot of people have and it’s not a big deal.

But it actually made me realize that there’s a lot of stuff that’s possibly interconnected in my brain. Because one of the things the presenter mentioned is that it’s also linked to tinnitus and heightened pareidolia, which are both things I’ve always had. As well as migraines. And I wonder how much of my other brain shit is also explained by this?

Liveness check fluffy rambles

Man, I am so tired of being tired.

On the plus side I’m finally working on music again. Hopefully I can keep up a more sustainable momentum this time around, because I really do want to finish Misfits sometime this year. But I also don’t want to do my usual multi-month crunch that leaves me even more drained when I’m done with an album.

I’ve also been working on the next version of the-protocol-formerly-called-Canimus. At present the tentative rebrand name is “Chorus” although I’m not totally sold on it (but my various collaborators like it). Anyway, for now folks can look at the WIP draft branch and maybe comment on it? I’ve gotten some really good feedback from some folks but more eyes would be better, I think.

I’ve also been doing voice training again, this time with a practitioner who knows what the hell she’s doing. It’s going okay.

Nice, I’m really happy to see someone else using Publ! There’s a lot of stuff that I really should do to modernize it, since you may have noticed that it’s stuck on an older version of Python and also that its Markdown engine is kinda… troublesome at this point. I’d also really like to improve the way that footnotes work so that it also supports things like sidebar or inline asides.

Having built-in support for webmention and such would also be nice; I always run into the limitations of what I can do with webmention.io/webmention.js and I have some big ideas about how to make a better comment system.

Anyway hopefully I can get back to working on this stuff. My priorities have been elsewhere but I do want to improve things for everyone.

Things that have me tired fluffy rambles

These past 6 weeks have been quite tiring to me, and I have so many reasons to be so very tired of things right now. I’m doing what I can to enjoy the things I’m able to do, but, oh god do things suck right now, for so many people that I know.

2026 birthday plans fluffy rambles

Hey y'all! My birthday is coming up this Sunday. I have the following things going on:

  • I’ll be spending some time in VR for the Trans Academy Trans Pride festival, and in particular will be speaking on the music production panel which is at 10:45 AM, Pacific time
  • I’m going to be seeing The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act at AMC Pacific Place at 7 PM, and it’d be super fun if I had a bunch of friends with me! Right now the theater is completely empty except for me and it’d be nice to not be alone like Kinger lol
  • And I guess if we aren’t too emotionally destroyed afterwards (or maybe especially if we are!) we could get drinks and snacks somewhere in the dying mall? It’d be thematically-appropriate, at least
  • is the Pacific Place food court even open that late anymore (8:30)? probably not
  • looks like the hot pot place is, at least
  • how is midnight cookie in any way deserving of that name, wtf
  • help i’m trapped in a neverending <ul>
