#yearoftheblog — Public Fediverse posts

Just added: some additions from replies I got here (thanks, y'all!) and a whole new section, "Starting Points for Walking Around" which is something I'm always looking for in a new city - if I want to check out some interesting walkable areas, what do I put in my map app as a starting point?

Friends from Nebraska are visiting us here soon and I wanted to jot down some info and suggestions for things they might want to check out here in #Ottawa. I might have gotten a bit carried away, but hey - I love our new home, and am excited to get to share it with beloveds from my beloved former home.

I’ve got some really great books checked out from the library right now, which I wrote about here on my blog: https://cassey.dev/library-hits-jan-2026/ #YearOfTheBlog #Blog #KidLit #QueerKidLit

Here it is: a blog post recapping 2025. Not really a list of books I read because I didn't keep track really, and almost exclusively read poetry and picture/board books anyways.

Did a minimum viable blog migration to Ghost (some older posts still need to migrate and all of my TIL category is currently missing), now time to actually write my 2025 Year in Review as my first new post on it.

Really feeling "blog as a garden" tonight though I don't really follow the "digital garden" philosophy - I am certainly pulling weeds though on areas I planted long ago though. I sat down to add some tags I realized were missing (more personal and slice-of-life stuff is now grouped under 'reflection'), and then realized I should probably remove the now-broken links to Glitch.com, and then realized with growing horror I have old Twitter embeds to remove... #blog #YearOfTheBlog

Here's a story about something I learned recently, about toothpaste, and about myself.

I tried to write a short post in response to a friend's blog post about what feels distinctive about a few specific cities, and I definitely wrote a post but failed to make it short.

I liked this post on abandoning a "to be read" list. The deadline passed (I think; I wasn't really paying attention) to export my Pocket saves to .. somewhere, and I did not export them, and it's going to be fine. I was never going to read them anyways.

Wrote a post today with some thoughts on consumerism, and a few of the ways I try to resist it. https://cassey.dev/resisting-consumerism/ #YearOfTheBlog

I switched my personal website to #Eleventy and found an unexpected recursive error. Not sure if it's my fault, but I'm blogging about it anyway.
