  HI! Do you have a self-hosted personal website/blog? If yes drop a link in replies! 🙏 I'm also interested what are your main problems in hosting your own website? Effort? Cost? Tech? Getting engagement?

  Well, this is quite embarrassing.  Thank you for the information! Actually, my blog entries on my feed page did have p-names but I think I accidentally made them part of the e-content, and I suspect that's why they were not showing up. And, yes, my published date was embedded in my h-card for silly reasons that I won't get into. Anyway, I think (hope) I've fixed both issues if you want to try again.

  Excellent :-) I seem to recall enjoying Jen Kirkman and Tig Nataro as well

  I'm a big fan of John Mulaney's stand-up. Mike Birbiglia is also really good.

  Honestly, "The Fifth Season" was one of the few examples of second person writing that I actively enjoyed, and that didn't feel unusual for the sake of unusual.

  I find that "Learn enough about topic X to have an informed opinion about it" is a too nebulous to be useful.  So I don't try to do anything like this. Better would be something like "Read 3 well-regarded books on topic X", and hopefully one's opinion just improves after that.

  Heh. I configured my VoIP landline to show up as Batman on call display :) Particularly funny when I use it to make restaurant reservations. (Yes, I have a landline. Leave me alone.)

  I keep forgetting that I named my phone Batman and am always surprised by this option when it appears
