@writingslowly I’m a huge fan of the Em Dash. Especially a fan of how easy it is to type the Em-dash, ellipsis, and accented letters on the Apple keyboards. I think a certain type of person, myself included, loves uses appropriate typographic characters. I’m very much not a bot, but I can understand how someone not used to seeing those things could make an inference.

On Windows I pin Charmap.exe to my Taskbar, though I have memorized a few character sequences that use the left alt-key and the number pad.

I’m really a dork

@manton Thank you for sharing this, it looks awesome! But also? Oh, no

@WiredDifferently Love this post. I don’t know if I know exactly how you feel, but I feel like I get your point of view. Powerful.

@writingslowly The addition of the “why” is an interesting addition to the practice. I’ve occasionally collected interesting turns of phrase. Thank you for sharing this

@JohnPhilpin Well played!

@patrickrhone Feels so good to cross things off!

@manton As an IT guy who is basically paid to be interrupted, the occasional rewind could be really beneficial. Everything always comes back around, but I’d love it if I could be the driver more often.

@kaa Sending wishes for fast resolution. That venom is powerful

@patrickrhone oof. I have seen the effects of this. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

@news Amazing. I saw the Bluesky announcement yesterday and wondered how quickly it would be supported here. Well done!
