Notes

Every time I dip back into the Xmen comics I adore just how queer they are these days. Catching up on Knights Of X is glorious.

TIL you can customise the quick react emoji in slack

Ah, CORS. Well I guess I’m gonna have to spin up a cloudflare worker to do some web scraping.

I do love my aeropress, I love the coffee my aeropress makes.

If not I’m definitely gonna get that built.

I continue to desire a smart phone that’s completely locked down and just has WhatsApp, photos, maps etc
