Happy birthday Amber! You are a gift to all who know you. Not only are you extremely competent at everything you do, you are so genuinely kind in how you carry out your daily life. You seriously care about faith, family, and friends but never take yourself too seriously. I learn so much from you as you lead at church, in our family, in your classroom. I could go on and on 🙂 So grateful to celebrate another year of you being awesome!
After 4 weeks away it feels good to come back to this sacred space.
This is fine
One thing (out of several) that elevates Dial of Destiny above the last installment in the Indian Jones franchise: it feels like a real movie. A real Indiana Jones movie.
We had a good time at Swingin’ Safari Mini Golf this afternoon!
Family D&D night
I will just say I am thankful for the sanity and simplicity of micro.blog in the midst of all this Twitter/Threads/Meta drama.
I hope we get some new community members (not just “users”) out of it, and I look forward to seeing micro.blog grow even more in its ability to facilitate meaningful connections across the Internet.
Updated: site look and feel, now page
Deleted my Reddit account.
The forcing out of third-party apps seemed so egregiously wrong.
As much as I appreciate many of the communities on Reddit, there are alternatives that are less user-hostile (I’m realizing the old-school forums still exist).
Plus, it was beginning to be another time-killing feed in my life. Now it’s not on my phone and I’ll have to access via web as a lurker for any info there.
Now, I’m on Facebook and Instagram only (mainly to maintain a church presence for outreach and communication purposes, since so many people remain there), as far as mainstream social media goes.
Still on Micro.blog.
Exploring some classic forums.
Back at it
