AK (@koutropoulos) came up with a genius idea of creating sort of fables of edtech. And I got a 1.30am idea to make one up just now. It’s actually not truly a *new* fable, but extending a fab…

I often wonder that also and I I have many doubts about what is generally believed as being innate. I actually read this article yesterday and I wish there was more info about his journey, and I’m not talking about a memory Journey
I am new to this. I’ve learned (mostly) major system images for 00-99, and I feel that I am ready to start stashing real, useful memories in palaces. I’ve been avoiding palaces up until because I wasn’t ready to start using them for real, and I didn’t want to clutter my real-world palaces with practice garbage. But I am a bit confused by the routes. So far, I’ve tried to follow routes in my head without actually placing any images yet. I just wanted to see how it feels to walk around a familia...
We need to critically examine all of our assumptions about conferences. How they are run. Who leads them. What kind of learning should happen there?
This website, à la carte, started in 1999 as what was then know as an ‘e-zine’, an online magazine. It’s subject was French food and the French culinary experience. After nine years of posting a new, lengthy article each month, I found my interests broadening to a wider view of food, and my time available to write for the site reduced.
I wanted to spend more time producing general food interest videos, and by 2011, I was also posting a new, mostly original small-dish recipe each week. These posts came to an end in 2015. All 235 were gathered into a single, long (≈250,000 words) article.
In the future, expect to see the occasional new article or video as time allows. Rest assured, à la carte is alive and well, and its creator is busy expanding his knowledge to produce more content.

Finally began working on the new instance of Fortress. The goal is to have the main site attempt to register and acknowledge accounts for sites that expose a h-card. It’ll just show the authorization endpoint found when attempting to resolve the site as well as a normalized [h-card] for the URL in question. Ideally, I should have that much ready for testing for the IndieWeb before this week’s newsletter is out!

Saying "I Love You" In Neurodivergent:https://t.co/m9BN3vNWSI

- Saw this article/site & wanted to share with you
- here is a thing about your favourite thing
- I would spend unstructured time with you
- you can share my silence
- I researched your problem, here are your options/1- I love your project so much I thought of some ways to make it even better
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 15, 2019
- do you need a ride home from your mundane errand that should be no big deal but is actually a Big Deal?
- I see you're freaking out. That's cool I will chill here in silence until you need me.
- (thumbs up)- I will make that phone call/book that appointment so you don't have to.
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 15, 2019
- I knew you would forget so I did X- this is your reminder to do the self care thing.
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 15, 2019
- do the self care thing.
- do the self care thing.
- I'm not getting off the phone until you confirm you have done the thing.- we made plans and I had a shitty day on the day but I didn't cancel because I knew I would enjoy seeing you more than I would enjoy staying home.

- You screwed up something people don't usually screw up and you're probably embarrassed so here is a story of my best screwup.- You once told me about a completely irrational thing you hate and now I remember not to do it/to keep it away from you every time.
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 15, 2019
- I learned your allergies/sensitivities. Please confirm if these ideas I have for avoiding them are helpful.- You mentioned one of your health conditions the other day and I have no background in it but I read everything I could and now I have follow up questions.
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 15, 2019This went viral! Some points to clarify:
— SaveTheNeurotypicals (@SNeurotypicals) November 16, 2019
- "neurodivergent" is an umbrella term for people with conditions like autism, ADHD, OCD, DID, bipolar etc.
- no, neurotypicals don't "do this too". NDs do these things repeatedly and sometimes exclusively, & put in a shit ton of time. (hand pointing down)I suspect this is so relatable because these are things anyone with anxiety might be drawn to, instead of more theatrical/socially demanding forms of love. NDs often have social anxiety or other issues impacting our relationships, and NTs may as well, for different reasons.

oh my gosh: how did I not know about this counting-out system called Yan-Tan...?!

I was looking up something about the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock, which some people think is a counting out rhyme, and that led to this British sheep-counting system: https://t.co/NWfJgyicB6 pic.twitter.com/azXjrpo8ob
The next prompt for Blogging Futures is on Infrastructure.
I had a conversation with Tom yesterday, and one of the things we talked about was why more people don't have websites. The tooling around it is better than ever, so why aren't more people getting their own internet spaces?
Part of the Blogging Futures course. Feel free to contribute to the conversation!
Infrastructure makes me think of not specific application but of broad application. How can we foster a multiplicity of blogging infrastructures?
Because there seems to be an understanding in this conversation that no single solution will solve our problems. Constant experimentation of writing possibilities is needed. For that to happen, we need places where that kind of activity can happen – where people can join in blogchains, where people can engage in anonymous publication as mentioned in the previous post, where people can get lost in labyrinths, where people can be a part of a new kind of republic of letters.
What if writing on the web could be as easy as writing on paper?
That is the kind of infrastructure I want on the web - a world where I could write anywhere, even if I didn't have a blog or a website or anything like that. I mean, do you need an account to write on a piece of paper?
I guess Telegraph is a good example of that in action. But why make anonymous publishing platforms second-class citizens? What if they were also integrated into blogs and other platforms? Don't know what that would look like but it would be like little slips of paper inside books, y'know, like newspaper clippings and grocery lists inside used books.
More freedom of where I can write and how I can write.
