Pretty dress, bunch of links
I didn't include any links last time, because the thing I wrote was already so long, so here's a whole bunch of stuff I bookmarked over the last few weeks. Like the Nicki Minaj joke, much of it is already ancient history.
I'm trying to learn a few new things each time I do this. So far I've figured out how to do captions and embed tweets. Maybe next week I can figure out why the people who recently subscribed aren't on the distro list. #sigh
