She's a little intense about open source computer things, cats and languages.

She's sorry, but not as sorry as she should be.

Typography nerds, how can I get:

"Please do not tell me anything about your language, even if I ask, I am interested in everything, have no self control and no time to learn another language" on a shirt?

Asking for me.

My love language is people giving me used books. Any kind of books, so long as folks don't spend a lot of money on them. Even if it's in a language I can't read.

Give me that book you're holding.

Friends, Romans, fellow internet nerds: Do we have resources we like for teaching R to already-competent developers?

Do I know anyone who

organises hackathons?

Preferably not in German-speaking countries; we already have those.

@ppk @proactivepaul is working on one now

You know what would make the AeroPress better? A collar that clips between the two parts (or maybe captive to the plunger) that helps guide the plunger straight down.

Most of my spills happen when I'm not steady on the plunger & it wobbles

@thisismissem If suggestions are helpful, I used to have the same problem and weirdly found using a heavier mug with it fixed this for me.

@thisismissem Sorry that I have no useful advice or help then, this sounds frustrating and I hope you find a fix!

Accidentally classically conditioned my cats to rush at me for 5 min of petting when my pomodoro timer goes off.

love logging onto platforms the day after Eurovision to try and make sense of what happened like an archeologist with a very specific remit

Weird question: are there other languages where governments are putting money behind affordable, general-access language education as a restoration pathway like Welsh?

Asking for me, who loves language learning but also keeping to budgets.

Wrote a chill little blog post about using extensive reading as a primary language learning tool for Japanese

https://jessica.tech/blog/extensive-reading/

jessie,
@jessie@mastodon.social avatar

@herndlm For Japanese, or in general? A lot of social media/blogs/sites in the categories listed have been really useful for me but I'm afraid I spend a lot of money on comics and novels

"How is my cat this spoiled?" I ask disgusted, as he cries loudly because he's too hot lying in the sunroom.

"An eternal mystery" I continue to myself, as I pick him up and move him into the shade.

Thought I kept messing up and leaving the freezer door ajar and ruining food.

Just caught my smart cat hyping up* my orange cat as he pulled the freezer door open. I am so tired.

@thisismissem at least with CSS when I get stuck I can be pretty sure it is because I am bad at things and this is not a confidence Tailwind expresses

@jessie@mastodon.social avatar

@tef ok so reading your description here, we are both old because same.

This is just CSS but less flexible and you need to learn new vocab but still also learn CSS. There is no grace or joy here.

One of our bootcamp learners joined us after being denied an education due to the change of governments in Afghanistan.

She's gotten into a uni in the US and is raising funds to get there. If you can give, please please do https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/1fbc6fe5-4fb5-446a-b303-3395e4cfee9e
