Hey! It’s time for another link roundup! But first, some housekeeping.
That’s today y’all! The link for the wake is here. Please come down! I’m gonna be there! This is just a quick refresher for everyone here to actually go!
Honestly, Pokémon is super important to me. Anything that takes a close look at the games will make me feel warm and fuzzy. I will use my link shares as an excuse to shove Pokémon down your throat and I will not feel sorry about it.
MillMint is a long running website/worldbuilding project I’ve been following for the past 7 years maybe that’s about 40% thinking too much about guns and military stuff and 60% talking about weird fictional versions of things I actually care about. And trains. It recently put out an update about this world’s fucked up computers. Please read about them.
Tim is right that if this were a big enough priority for me, I could get up at four in the morning every day and work in a quiet, locked office with no distractions. I might end up divorced, but I could do it if it was my #1 top priority.
The reality is that it’s not, and that’s okay.
I’ve spent way too much time in college soaking my brain in some total productivity bullshit, and it’s very refreshing to read a critique of this stuff that approaches it by acknowledging that it’s feasible and would be more productive, but is it a better way to live your life?
The internet doesn’t run on scattered clouds and rushing streams. It takes heaps of fibered glass and twisted steel to send a DM to that cute French boy from your year abroad.
As the saying goes, the cloud is just somebody else’s computer. This essay explores some of the problems that come up when you remember that someone owns that shit and places profits over people.
It is an indisputable fact that cohost shutting down meant that a larger portion of the people in my feeds are going to be computer touchers, and that’s really sad. I don’t really know what to do to help with that, but at the bare minimum, here’s a guide on HTML made for people who aren’t computer touchers. I wanna see more of y’all in my feeds! Share your links! The website section in my comments form isn’t for nothing! I actually do check the websites in there!
Once again, come to the cohost wake at 3 pm, and please leave a comment below, or email me at [email protected]. And I have a special email for asks at [email protected]. Feel free to send some asks and they'll probably show up on the site unless you ask me to not put it there! Just like cohost! See y'all!

i need to figure out a better system for this
I’ve been seeing some people in my circle doing link roundups, and I thought it’d be nice to join in. I have such a huge backlog of links to work through and maybe this could be a good way to get through all of them. I’m thinking of only doing five links per roundup, but let me know if you think that’s too many or too few. That’s enough waffling for now, here’s the links:
I don’t have much to say here besides wow Austin is really good with words in a way that I am as impressed by as I am envious of.
This is just as much a recommendation for Tangle Tower as it is a recommendation for the review talking about it. Tangle Tower is a complete delight, and feels like the closest you can get to a modern Professor Layton. I thoroughly recommend it. Oh and also this review talking about it too, of course.
I’m as much of an Android hater as the next apple fangirl (they just don’t have the same rich indie scene as apple does, and every android-native app I’ve seen feels like it hates itself), but this whole story about iA Writer’s endless expensive struggle to keep up with Google’s demands all to let Android users write to files in their Google Drive leaves me feeling more validated by that decision than ever. That is, until Apple makes some sort of dumb decision too that screws over its developers. Also, this isn’t the only story I’ve seen this week of someone shutting down their android app because of Google’s weird shifting requirements. A second developer has said that they’re also throwing in the towel with Android.
As someone who has also biked Catalina Island (i was a kid then, so not by choice), there’s so much in here that brings back memories. I’m out here looking at the pictures thinking, “I’ve been here! I’ve seen this!” It’s nice to read a story about someone doing a thing I did as a kid and barely remember so I can be reminded I had a life somewhere amongst the foggy memories.
This one is for everyone who’s hosting their blog with Eleventy. Version 3.0 just dropped! It’s now made using ES Modules, which is the modern way of being able to import stuff in Javascript. The migration process seems to be pretty simple, and it means you can start sprinkling import in your code instead of having to use require(). If you want to someone spill ink about its upgrading process, cohost alumni beeps wrote a whole thing about its site changelog.
I had a great time doing this, and I’m really looking forward to the next one. Feel free to leave a comment below, or email me at my new website-specific email at [email protected]. Don’t worry, it just goes straight into my normal mailbox I didn’t pay anything for this. I also now have a special email for asks at [email protected], which is an idea I stole from nex3. If you send any questions in to that email, I will answer them on the site! Just like cohost.
