What if I designed educational mailers*? I could set it up so people could choose which one and choose an area. Then they could decide to send via USPS Direct Mail to specific mail routes *topics tbd but actually interesting and helpful and maybe PSA-style

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could vote with our tax dollars? Let’s say half of your tax dollars fund a “core government” then, you personally allocate the other half. You’d get to choose how much is given and to which services

Welp. This quarter, work has a goal of 100% of employees using ai. Time to become a candlestick maker. Jk. Time to figure out how much they care about that. In the meantime, I’m glad to do the training and learn about this thing so I can understand what people are talking about

Why is H1 even an option when using a wysiwyg editor? Is there some magic differentiation between the h1 that exists on a webpage? I've always assumed the title (a separate field) would be the H1. does the hierarchy restart for a different container?

i guess what i’m saying is, don’t just say “they hit a school full of little girls”, say “they hit a school full of little girls, waited 40 minutes, and then hit it again to kill the first responders who’d come to their rescue”, because both things are egregious and worth equal attention

It matters what venues exist to showcase our art, because as creators we mold our work and our goals to the channels that exist. If what we see are opportunities to publish with Hasbro or to playtest at our local game store, that's what we'll do. But that shouldn't be the universe. 5/▶️
