The Bog 
Welcome to my “web log”, or “bog” for short, where I write my silly little posts. There is an Atom feed to follow it. It includes my Fediverse posts but there is a page without those too if you want.
- One X per year
- Correction regarding the waiting list for trans healthcare in Ireland
- 🐘 might fuck around and learn alkahestry
- 🐘 today is a listening to Vengeance is Mine …for Radical Highway Shadow Generations Remix Act 2 on a loop to push through it kind of day
- 🐘 happy gal of time’s day
- 🐘 Surprisingly difficult CSS problem: Drawing a line through the top and bottom of a Roman numeral to join up the serifs as is often done decoratively.
- ♻️ I am actually weird about certain oddly specific mtg things, too. (To be clear, you shouldn’t play mtg.) Like thoughtseize. Flavorwise, it’s reaching into your enemy’s mind, pulling open their brain with your fingers, and plucking out a single thought of resistance. Which sounds hot. But it’s really in the context of the gameplay that it shines for me.
- 🐘 I feel like with HTTP responses the scenarios of “the URI you are trying to access is not a valid or defined endpoint” and “the URI is valid but the specific thing you are requesting doesn’t exist” should not both be 404 errors. Those should be two different things.
- 🐘 some good posts from Nicky Flowers from last year:
- 🐘 Kasane Tayto
- ♻️ I'm picking up food for someone
- 🐘 they are failing to consider Nectar Radiance
- 🍲 Delicious in Revelation
- ✍🏻 Nine types of quests
- 🐘 Every local event organised by anyone older than me is only announced on Facebook. Any local event organised by anyone younger than me is only announced on Instagram. We need to bring back newsletters.
- 🪸 Issue #84 of IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog is out and features Sage from Sonic Frontiers in the comic for the first time. I have been looking forward to getting to see her interact with more of the cast and in particular Belle.
- 🐘 Cute little archive of Sonic the Hedgehog fandom websites from the ’90s and early 2000s
- ♻️ Exterlien
- 🐘 If you like gatcha games do you know what else has thousands of characters and millions of devoted fans? The beautiful Han writing system.
- 🔞 E.M.C.S.H.: AI Girlfriend
