Safari devtools is not letting me uncheck or modify styles. Anyone run into this before?
Microblog
I have a chicken and egg problem.
When I publish a blog article I want to include a link to a corresponding Mastodon post. To write the Mastodon post, the article needs to be live. But to publish the blog article, I need the URL to the Mastodon post. But I don’t know the Mastodon post URL until I publish it. Ahhhhh!!
Am I really going to have to deploy my site, post a toot, then turn around and add the link to my site and deploy again? Ugh, there’s got to be a better way.
This is the kind of CSS change I enjoy making. Tiny tweaks no one else will notice.
I’m writing a blog post. Do I call it 11ty or Eleventy?

Working on a post about my new website rebuild that I launched and didn’t say anything about...
The answer ended up being to use eleventyConfig.addCollection, which is counterintuitive because in my mind I’ve already “added” it.
But anyway, you can pass a callback, get all the posts in the target collection, then sort how you like.

11ty peeps, what’s the simplest way to sort a particular collection by the file slug? #11ty
It looks like my Rube Goldberg machine for updating my microblog is working. I'm going to write about it at some point.
Pardon my test post. Testing my EchoFeed webhook.
I’m playing around with EchoFeed 👀
RSS peeps: if I were to use htaccess to 301 redirect my old RSS feed to my new one, would people following the old feed still get my new posts?
Tired: initial commit
Wired: FIRST
The Verge: “People immediately grasp the potential for AI to simplify and streamline their daily lives but still prefer humans for more personal tasks like dating.”
Joaquin Phoenix: False.
My brother and I did a song swap and wrote reaction posts.

“The old pencil has a point of view on being a pencil. The new one is like a simulacrum of a pencil.”
A thing happens to me on Mastodon that never did on Facebook or Twitter. When I’m not around for a few days I feel kinda bad that I’m not liking/boosting all the cool things yall are writing and making.
I’ve been listening to this ODESZA album as an afternoon pick-me-up.
I may have purchased a new domain name.
