Dude totally shoulda got on that plane. Think how disappointed his daughter's gonna be.

BTW, the detour bypassing the obstructionist agenda may be inferred from this one (but would require more than the handful of y'all already onboard): moondeer.blog/2021/08/0...

If anyone knows why Mastodon is now the lone platform sh$tting the preview-card-bed (of the platforms attempting to provide a preview), don't be shy.

.@manton piddled with a shortcode yesterday for taking a link to an existing post (glad this worked by simply changing the relative URL to use the md extension) and generating a preview card like I described when I first got on the platform. I stopped short of styling … but this is the kind of info I feel is available when generating timeline posts from long form Hugo posts with a title, etc.

Feels like the work remaining for On the Obstructionist Agenda is twofold:

🄐 Finish tightening up the argument

and

⑵ Dip into Manchin and Sinema with the hopes of explaining the WTF of their whole GD deal.

The poem I wrote in March upon realizing real progress was off the table. We hadn't the stomach for leading from the front … or the dopamine release from all the tribal peacocking was too seductive. moondeer.blog/2021/03/2...

BTW … it's when there's a matching pair that I know y'all been suspended (or in @AlysBijoux's case, likely been flipping the account on and off … she's too sweet for suspension).

Not sure if you've seen this one, @DomainJulian. It marks the first time I had an essay in mind (not backed by a pre-existing Twitter thread) and purposefully generated some art to accompany before digging into the writing of the thing.

Feels kinda wild that it's only been a little over six months since I decided to take up digital art.

Also, since I started running that promotion this morning … I've been dragging my feet with regard to checking Twitter. Finally got myself to check in with #WhoUnfollowedMe

Currently in a follow back mood, holler if it feels weird.

Okay, whatever, so I wasted the day rolling my own preview card Hugo shortcode on account of all the referencing to my own essays I tend to do. Perhaps it might be worth it once I decide how to style the MFer. Images are the unstyled card content and the impatient attempt at styling I threw up before growing bored with CSS for the day.

Hey … MSNBC … these eleven minute jaunts touring the edge of the atmosphere are a news segment … not a GD multi-hour special … regardless who's onboard.

The concept of aging can f$&k right off. Time isn't spent … it's gathered.

BTW, the short-term + sunsetting strategy being pushed by progressives is the way to go where the infrastructure bill is concerned. moondeer.blog/2021/02/2...

Sank most of the day distracted by the animation, but we're shaping this one up a little at at time. moondeer.blog/2021/10/0...

When y'all are ready to combat the terrifying reality @GarrettHaake is painting today on #MTPDaily, spend some time reading what I've been saying since last November. You'll find it all here: moondeer.blog/perspecti...

A rough rough-draft now lives here: moondeer.blog/2021/10/0...

400+ words so far introducing the concept I want to discuss in my next essay, the obstructionist agenda. I seriously have an overwhelming amount of sh$t in my head that wants out.

On the off chance anyone is curious, the stylistic difference between essay headers marks the transition in April from iPhonography to picking up digital artistry

#MidnightMass … episode three … awards have been earned.

Tuckered out watching them dawgs #SicEm

Guess them dawgs gonna take over number one.

If you jumped on this one early I believe I've fixed the f$&ked up iframes: https://moondeer.blog/2021/10/09/on-the-obstructionist.html
