anyway i'm actually writing the Thoughts On Mastodon post for real. already at 1k words and 6 footnotes and i'm not even out of the introduction. might be a bit until it's done.

some of the footnotes would work better as Asides so i'm genuinely considering writing an article theme that lets me use them that way.

100% agree with this, I love putting marginalia in shit I write and would love to provide some better way of formatting it on here

e.g. the electronic version of "host" by david foster wallace is an essential web text to me

nicky case's nutshell is also something I've been thinking a lot about recently

I made a post a couple weeks ago with summary tags and while they are functionally perfect, there were no fewer than five people who shared them apparently without noticing that the summary tags represented anything hidden behind a click lmao
