I find it confusing in general, not just with WordPress (although WordPress is extra confusing since I think you can have both multiple tags and categories, yeah?)

I really do love this time of year — the Christmas music, the twinkle lights, the woman in front of me in line at Costco who just told her husband, “We can give your cousin a pile of dog shit for all I care.” -

Fun Fact: it's been almost six years since I started working on the Web and I still suck at git. I get by, but deep down I am secretly hiding the feelings of incompetence and terror I have whenever I use it. 😅 And I "secretly" hope I'm not alone! 😂 -
Dec 8, 2019, 12:46 PM -05:00 In the Beginning Was the Website
I don't think I've ever felt quite as old as I felt when, last year, I discovered the IndieWeb, an online community of people dedicated to resurrecting the personal website.
This makes me feel old because I've maintained some sort of personal web presence/site/blog since around 1998 or so, when I made my first hand-coded HTML pages available online at U of T. Apparently, enough time has past not only for the concept of a "personal website" to have become quaint and old-fashioned (displaced by a cluster of much more convenient social media sites) but also for it to have been picked up again by an enthusiastic band of hobbyists with a taste for the retro and a fondness for old-school fan pages.

I think I was listening to "Episode 11: Germanic Ancestors" but I'm not sure how much of it will make sense if you haven't listened to the previous episodes (unless you have a background in this stuff?)

Well, as the title suggests, if you are interested in the history of English and other Indo-European languages, including Farsi, then yes :)

There would be a dramatic bit where some Indo-European suddenly decides to say an "F" instead of a "P" and is henceforth know as "Proto-Germanic-Man". Or some random sheep herder develops a speech impediment and starts saying "S" instead of "K" and they are henceforth "Satem-man".

It's like, you know how superheroes have catchphrases, and a superhero origin movie will always have a bit where the hero gets to say the catch phrase and that's how you know they're for real now? We need a movie like that for the origin of German or Sanskrit.

"And here we have the origin of the Germans! Over here we have the very first ancestors of the Celts and the Romans!". I feel like each branch needs a character sheet with all their different powers.
