I'm on special sauce first page, I don't think it's the first time but it's the first time I've noticed. 🩻exposed

I lost access to my mailbox and had a long waiting period to get a new key during which I had the PO hold my mail. I'm sorting through all mail from late Sept - mid Nov and it'll take some time to reply... in case anyone sent me anything...

My take on door holding discourse is that if you're going to hold the door for someone, let them walk through it before you start going through. you have confused the whole situation

if slow people make you uncomfortable, then hold the door open behind you instead. you'll still get all the social points.

my take on retro web discourse is that if smartphones existed in 1998 we'd have been making mobile friendly sites. The assumption that to be truly retro, you have to design for the technology that was available back then, is just one way to approach it. if you want to get in the real mindset of it, it's about utilizing the technology that's available to you and making a site that people can enjoy in different ways.

websites as a creative medium, not as a limitation of expression. if mobile responsive design was required back then, people would not have pushed back against it the way they do now trying to recapture a "retro" mindset.

people would be making different versions of their sites entirely for mobile so that you would have a different experience, depending on your device. That's very much frowned upon now but would have been the way that my little web community approached this at the time. I think about that a lot! I don't know if I have the energy to do that now 🥲

thank you for reading my random morning thought! I don't even know where this came from.

I wasn't on much last week, so I've been trying to piece together what happened. This is really well put, thanks for writing it.

I've never really been involved in internet drama before. I want to write about it but is that weird?

maybe I'll write about it and then decide whether or not I'm comfortable posting it. maybe that's the way to do this.

@transferns I think my concern is that I'm bringing up something and attacking people, when really all I'm trying to do is reflect on my part in it and why it bothers me. but I think I figured out a nice way to share it without being an attack

can't we just all be adults and treat transphobes and TERFs as the social lepers they are?

to be more accurate, the lock on my box door rusted significantly to the point where neither I nor my mail people could use it. fellas it takes a few weeks to replace a mailbox lock/key so #lessonslearned take care of it sooner rather than later!
I got a lot of Halloween mail so I'm really excited to open them 🎃
