I often scroll Cohost on devices I can't edit the browsers on, and also because 'last week is as distant to me as the burning of Rome', I thought I'd start a series¹ using running drafts I'll post (once the 'for the love of,, just post it and be free' kicks in) that are a speckled and incomplete list of things I've enjoyed², so when it's actually live, it'll remind me/others of posts and resources/prompts³.

Resources

• Spreadsheet of over 36,000 colours in palettes by @viewtyjoe
• watching simultaneous videos with friends, options by @chitinlink
• 'Markdown plus' tool by @oatmealine (n.b. above allows for this kind of nonsense whilst also retaining plaintext for screen readers)

1. the ongoing-ness of this is very much dependent on my ability and wherewithal to continue with a project, given who I am as a person

2. realistically, these are the ones I find 'neat'⁴ that crucially, I find when I'm in a position to open up drafts & add here. (Relatedly, it's one of the ways I'd like to reduce the -ification of my bookmark toolbar and tabs)

3. as an aside to myself, I'm going to try and just get over myself and post this after it gets to a certain amount so I can try and deprogramme the anxiety/overthinking around curation headspace⁵

4. as the saying goes

5. by which I mean, it is folly to assume that any kind of round-up is definitive and completely impartial, such as it is, as [the poster] is choosing to signal-boost things, but my intentions are to make personal memos (that are public). I don't want to get into the headspace wherein I'm feeling like I need to 'process all the posts' into outputs, because that's neither sustainable nor fun. Related to that, this first one is from the time I started the draft - and so it's easy to read it as comprehensive of all time before, but.. let me emphatically say: it is not.

Trans people are awesome and I wish I could hug u all then while you are distracted with my clearly superior fluffy sergal embrace I would steal your programming socks so I can finally gain an attention span and learn rust
