Restarting my blog after a long time away.
Continuing to blog about Drupal, frontend development, nonprofit technology (nptech), and advocacy; now I'm adding Hugo, MJML, bash scripting and some other things.

#Markdown syntax for def lists is so bizarre:
Item title
: Item definition
The colon changes the formatting of not only its line but also the *previous* one. Can't think of another situation like it.
MediaWiki's version:
; Item title
: Item definition
makes much more sense.
ALT Markdown's colon (:) changes the line before it, creating a definition list.
The @nytimes article on a park in Anacostia, DC, is beautifully designed, except...
(and no, there's no way to dismiss the message)
I get paywalling articles, but this is effectively paywalling random sentences!

I'm in love with the new #RoseLane on NE Couch! So much better than the parallel Davis bike route with its speed bumps and semi trucks parked in the turn lane on NE 12th. Thank you @PBOTinfo! 🌹🚴♂️🚌💨 #pdx #gobybike @BikePortland – at Portland, OR

What does abortion criminalization have to do with movements to end police violence and criminalization? Everything.
Our movements are connected and we can and must fight back together. Uplifting our resource: bit.ly/DecrimAbortion #LetThisRadicalizeYou #RoeVsWade

The President telling people to be peaceful while they send riot battalions to the Supreme Court, which has snipers on the roof and just ruled that women can die rather than get an abortion is truly sick.

The worst-case scenarios are coming home to roost. We simply cannot afford to sustain separate, siloed movements; they are coming for every hard-fought civil right won in the last 50 years. WE have to fight back like our lives depend on it. Because they do. Join us.
