What was that website where you can create an event without signing up for an account or anything?
Drupal has such impenetrable terminology and APIs, and every module seems to add its own rubbish to the heap

So excited to share this with y'all. Some results of a long term project slowly coming through.
At this very young organisation that i run - Veditum - we've initiated a fellowship - #MovingUpstream - to get young Indians to walk along our rivers to document the rivers and life around it.
These are notes from our first fellowship. Observations on wild birds made by @anupa while walking along River Betwa.
Please read, boost & share your feedback. #Rivers #India #Birds

"A poll by YouGov found that 18 per cent of men did not have a close friend and 32 per cent had no one they counted as a best friend.
The figures were significantly higher than those for women, with 12 per cent of women saying they did not have close friends and 24 per cent saying they lacked a best friend."
How sad

I'm tasked with creating a new, relatively simple web app. It's been a little while since I have done this, what does a modern web app look like in 2019? #javascript
Maintaining complex legacy software is such a delicate balance between upgrading components and not breaking other parts of the code. It can be a bit butterflies and hurricanes sometimes.
```javascript
const f = new Boolean(false); console.log(f == !f); // Outputs `true`
```
Hypothesis: All software provisioning systems are bad
Can anyone recommend free tools for creating UX/UI mockups?

This is an excellent deep dive into worker-owned coops that are trying to contest power and build #socialism.
If you want to follow a website that doesn't have an RSS feed, you can use https://feed43.com/ to generate one for a particular page when it updates. Then you can use http://bots.tinysubversions.com/ to follow that feed in mastodon et al.

“Game Boys: The ‘gamer’ identity undermines the radical potential of play.”
https://reallifemag.com/well-played-game-boys/
Nothing really new or startling, but I’m interested in the idea of “gaming” as reproductive labour: channeling the energy of play into forms that mimic the culture of work, and providing a space to perform toxic masculinity.
One of the most useless things you can do in Javascript is surely `new Boolean(false)`

Sharks are older than trees. 🦈
The first plant species which can be considered a real tree is known as Archaeopteris, and it evolved about 350 million years ago.
The first sharks evolved 50 million years before that!
