@Em0nM4stodon TU!
@charliejane it was nice meeting you and everyone else!
Latest Pocket nightly has an experimental feature I’ve wanted for years: swipe-to-highlight. 🥰 It trades high-granularity text selection for convenience and speed.
I demoed this feature at a hackathon during my first month at #pocket _eight years ago_.
Now, it might actually ship. 😂
Okay. Fine. Time to stop stalling and go to #Rockridge. There will be tacos and Lesley Evers.
As a rule, I don’t do a lot of photo touch up. I’ll crop, correct geometry (like I would with bellows), and clean sensor dust. Beyond that, I try to do the art in camera.
I made an exception for this image, which is a proper image stitch. That invalidates it as part of my portfolio, but makes for a good “what I did in Japan” photo in the vacation slide show.
@Impossible_PhD and being ace is a multiplier, of course. Not least of all because, depending on where you are on that spectrum, other people’s impulses can feel extremely _alien_.
@Impossible_PhD exactly. It’s a very female problem, and a corallary to,“she wouldn’t have dressed that way if she didn’t want that attention.” 🤮
@Impossible_PhD I feel this. Often people think you’re presenting as a lure, when you’re just manifesting yourself.
The Bookstore and Chocolate Crawl is TOMORROW. Starts 1 PM at East Bay Booksellers near Rockridge BART. It's simple: 1) we eat chocolate. 2) we visit indie bookstores and buy books. 3) ends with a nice reading.
Rain is supposed to stop by noon tomorrow!!!
@Ultrarunfamily i feel or have felt all of this. I recommend collecting games over playing them: less disappointing. 😂 Every game is perfect until it hits the table.
