nobody cares about your blog

Liked Nobody cares about your blog by Alex Molas (alexmolas.com)

I started writing on my blog some years ago, and since then I’ve had a lot of reasons to stop writing. Here’s a list of why nobody cares about your blog:

and that’s fine!

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

and you’re not alone in this exact state of mind! (minor spoilers for season 3 of The Wire)

wikicamp jour 3

wikicamp jour 3: besoin de 16 heures de sommeil, envie de plage. ah oui et rdv aux élections du conseil d’administration de #Wikimédia France :)) (j’ai aussi appris les bases d’inkscape pour enfin faire une carte du disque-monde sans copyright,[ez-toc][ez-toc] et c’était vraiment super !)

Replied to Speaking in different languages by Pablo Morales (lifeofpablo.com)

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about writing content in other languages and marking it up using h-entry tags. There is something so satisfying to write in different languages. Different parts of my brain activate and it works differently in each language. I also « become a different » person as each l…

pablo, félicitations pour ta première vidéo et bon courage pour ton apprentissage du français !

wikicamp jour 2

mon cerveau est liquéfié mais j’ai eu droit à quelques panels super intéressants au #WikiCamp2023, dont un sur le programme « Wikimédiens en résidence » auprès des universités et un sur la dynamisation des groupes locaux, qui me crée pas mal d’interrogations sur les projets Wikimédia à Grenoble.

Creating moments of joy

This post is written for the IndieWeb carnival; the prompt is Moments of Joy, by James. Of course, for moments of joy, I first considered telling you about gender, because I’ve just spent a month celebrating that. But Pablo wrote about Pride for the same carnival. Then, I thought maybe I could write about my…

Scholomance / A Deadly Education

Read The Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik ( )

I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

I accidentally binge read the Scholomance trilogy this week, and it was glorious. a heroine whose life curse is that she’s deeply unlikeable, and who stopped even trying. an extraordinarily powerful and socially clueless sidekick. bisexuals! evil plots to take over the world! linguistics!?

threads by meta

Liked First thoughts about Threads by

Ben Werdmuller (werd.io)

Meta’s new social network is interesting: an obvious strategic shot at Twitter just as that network is running into trouble, as well as a way to iterate on its aging Facebook property. To that end, it makes sense that Meta would piggyback on the fediverse of independent social networks that interc…

It doesn’t look like Threads is coming to the EU anytime soon, so I’m getting my first look second-hand. I have personal thoughts & a conflict of interest both as a Meta employee and a Mastodon user, so I won’t write anything myself about the feature in the foreseeable future, but I liked Ben’s post…
