I have a set of questions I ask in some variation at the end of my 1:1s.

I really liked these suggestions by Cate. I don’t lead 1:1s right now, but can see the value in answering them. And maybe I’ll lead 1:1s again at some point?

A thing about Raycast that I immediately like: It helps you uninstall apps from your system and deletes all belonging files. Neat! 👍

Adam posted about Mikkel today. That let me to learn about his apps, specifically Leader Key.

This app will replace some automations that I’ve used Alfred for as well as make my app-starting shortcuts in BettTouchTool redundant and add more options. And it made me switch Alfred for Raycast.

Had to move my birthday celebrations two weeks into the future because there’s still flu going round in my family and I don’t want anyone else to catch it. Damn! Was really looking forward to tomorrow. But hey, it’s only postponed.

Oddly gripping. I am torn about this book. Couldn’t abandon it but also am not super hyped I read it. 😅

Keep your hope

Cried for the last 400 pages. What a book. What an ending. Intensive feelings as these is what books can give. More so than movies. I know these characters. They are my friends.

I recently started using a Bookwyrm instance (bookrastinating.com) to manage my book reading. They support ActivityPub and offer some more functionality regarding reading goals and book reviews. Is there anything planned on integrating with Bookwyrm @manton?

I started reading this a few days ago as a loan from the lib: What A Way To Go by Bella Mackie 📚

Very fun and just my kind of humor:

I rolled my eyes, closed the window and went back to bed. As I fell asleep, I remembered to practise gratitude. I was immensely grateful that despite the gruesome way my husband died, he’d done it with his clothes on, and not, like Jane Borrall’s husband, naked but for a latex trench coat.
