Thanks for thinking of me Danny. I will let you know when (if) I ever get readers. Seems kinda prerequisite to leveraging their contributions.

For a platform touting itself as being for the promotion of writers, Medium sure feels like the most useless of the bunch I have come across thus far.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League … totally worth it.
Guess I will leave taking my cross-post category out of my category cloud as something to do over breakfast.
Wonder what I will do once I grow bored of reverse engineering Hugo version 0.54 (at least the Micro.blog blackbox keeps things interesting, if only sh$t would build (and caches would empty) faster).
Tell ya what, if I ever need to know what beer to try or what book to read, y’all got that sh$t on lock with the Micro.blog discover timeline.
You know how when you workout, it is a day to day thing … slowly building up results? What do you call it in reverse, with squandered opportunity?
Idea brewing: how my year long dive into social media has taught me that the world isn’t ready for real progress.
And seriously, a subscription doesn’t get me around the three story sh$te Medium, took all of three hours for me to cancel.
Alrighty then. Got a fresh, unlisted category named crossing, got a filter setup to detect my new “Read More” approach, got a filter setup to detect as much and assign the crossing category, disabled Medium on the primary and setup a category specific feed with Medium enabled. Fingers-crossed … am I right?
Looks like setting up the category specific feeds will be necessary for leaving cross-posting to Medium enabled. They be all, “don’t publish so many stories.”
Totally remember now why I skipped Medium and landed on Micro.blog.
The forest and the trees.
It would seem the very essence of what it is to be human consists of our prowess at pattern recognition.
What memes looked like before the internet.

ANSWERS TO NAME OF "LUCKY"
Thought if anything was gonna break the Medium cross-posting it would be shortcodes, but this one was handled like a champ
Am I the only one getting a hell of a lot of screens like this when clicking on Google ads? I could care less but all the folks paying for the ads oughta be pissed.
Thought I oughta mention, @manton, that the only thing controversial about me (that I can tell) is my use of special-charactered cursing … and that this is an entirely throttleable attribute. Feel free to ask me to tone something down or keep some example or another out of the help center (like the Medium screenshot I just added to one of my replies).
For some unknown reason, I am fascinated with literal use situations for sh$t slang. A fresh one popped into my head as I watch my hella old schnoodle Murphy work one out in the backyard.
“So, you get that sh$t taken care of?”
Should anyone happen to be curious, the fascination started when I began cleaning Disco's stall and I was all:
"Man, I f$&king hate this sh$t."
Doubt Medium will be of much use, but here is a link to my favorite creative nonfiction essay to date so as to test out cross-posting:
You know, I am not against the functionality of emojis, just the stylistic hijacking of their appearance by all our operating systems. Keep that sh$t in the fonts where it belongs.

You can completely customize the structure of GLightbox and use CSS to change any part you want.
Feels like my next possible just for the f$&k of it time sink.
Part of me wants to get creative with a custom 404 page, the rest of me realizes the only one likely to land there will be me.
Then again, I do have a history of decorating pages only intended for me.
So … @manton … I bet the challenge is creating a platform open enough for folks like me to get under the hood … but not so open as to compromise the curated/timeline aspect of the platform. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not on the right track. You are.
