Much gratitude for soft extending.
Pls, reminder that, as part of Septemberās IndieWeb Carnival, the following post is about suicide and personal struggles:
While I still commend @starbreaker for the bold choice of theme, I had a significantly hard time writing and posting this. And while Iām happy(?) I did. Iām looking forward to an easier topic next. Thank you for the challenge, and the opportunity / excuse to go somewhere I donāt think I mightāve taken my blog on my own*

Sorry it was hard for you, and Iām glad you were able to bring yourself to contribute. I saw your post via RSS this morning.
Zinrickyās talking about multilingualism on the web for October 2024, so you should have a much easier time of that than I will. After all, being an American Iām only really fluent in two languages, to paraphrase Corben Dallas from The Fifth Element: English and Bad English.

Wrote a quick PSA related to Ko-Fi: A Ko-Fi PSA ā Manu
Thereās a bizarre bug on their end related to payments getting stuck because some extra steps are required on the Stripeās side but that extra step doesnāt come up on the Ko-Fi side. On their end they just confirm that everything is in order but then the payment doesnāt go through.
And itās doubly odd because it happens to people after the first month. So they subscribe, the first payment goes through smoothly, then the second gets stuck and they donāt even get notified that something is wrong and their membership is quietly cancelled the next month.
And since Ko-Fi is used by a bunch of people I thought it was useful to let everyone know about it.
Lure, RƩsumƩ, Detail: The 3-Tier Job Search Cake
Giles Turnbull (recent guest on the lovely People and Blogs) has an idea in his book for presenting information in layers. In a job search, I am the information so I applied the same tactics to my professional identity.

Thanks, but I donāt think those of the sort of languages Zinricky had in mind. Likewise for speaking UNIX.

The Weekly Wrap Up has been posted! I started PT, bought a bunch of music on Bandcamp Friday, and did some reading and TV watching. You know, the usual! Also, only one link to share but I think itās kind of cool - all about the chrome lettering you find on old objects.

I was really into cars as a kid and had a book about the huge half chrome boats that roamed the streets back in the 50s 
It certainly was an interesting time for car styling, one that makes me think they were trying to think of what the future would be without knowing for sure

I started writing a bit about Cohost ending andā¦ it went places. Did a lot of brainstorming about how I can be more social online. (Maybe shouldāve taken a bit longer to write a better ending, but Iāve always been bad at them and I wanted to get it published before the hurricane arrives.)

Manatee relates to a lot of this. Especially going off on tangents, or not being sure what your opinion on a certain topic even is.
