Thanks, David. I try to remind myself it won’t always be like this.

Aside: I’m getting an https error on your site currently.

Thanks, Jamie. I appreciate the encouragement. I probably should explore more hobbies because most of the time I’m escaping through TV or games. I do enjoy jigsaws and LEGO is always fun!

Sounds like they need their safe plates.

I'll see myself out.

I'm sure the @Delta CEO will get that down to 5 days.

“certainly individuals at higher risk should be masking...”

No, everyone should be, Director, even by your community levels metric.

Why is she so committed to downplaying this? (rhetorical)

So clear. It sounds like Bill Gates is right in the room when he talks to me.


Double boosted. I can now see an aura around people who have COVID.


“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”

Looks like it's been a longstanding, intermittent issue. I added the Bridgy log for this error to the github issue: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/237

Wow, the Hitachi Magic Wand was a lot bigger back then.

I tried sending again with the form and got the general error "There has been a critical error on this website."

This is the post I'm trying to send in case you want to debug or try re-sending the webmention: https://gregorlove.com/2022/05/open-mentions-is-an-interesting/


In reply to: https://twitter.com/lordmatt/status/1528648510433898496

No worries! I had another Webmention issue sending to both your site and @openmentions. I tagged you in a GitHub issue.
