Today for #Junited2024 I’m plugging the blog Beardy Guy Musings by @Denny. You never know what you’re going to get there. It might be tech (like today) or it might be a challenge to be a better citizen. Whatever it is, it will be genuine, honest and from the heart because that’s the way he rolls.
I’m extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. - How the sad case of a missing cat saved me from getting fired last week.

Today for #Junited2024 I’d like to suggest a GTD post from the blog of Ariadne, Noisy Deadlines, a Brazilian living in Canada who loves winter. Her blog is a good mix of sci-fi, GTD and Internet culture - just the kind of non-pretentious stuff I enjoy. @noisydeadlines@writing.exchange on Mastodon.
