This is the first time in my life I've wondered if my family will be intact come my next birthday. It's terrifying and a feeling the BIPOC folks around me have lived with for centuries

There's simply too much variation in this (5-song) playlist. I better bring that down to the 2 songs I'm crushing on right now.
Webmentions in Goldfrog
I might be hitting the wall on my Jekyll-inspired storage system for #goldfrog. GoldFrog uses Jekyll-style markdown posts as the "system of record", but read into SQLite for serving/searching content #webmention activity add a new type of data that I haven't figured out how to store yet.
