OK, what are we all getting really into these days in order to salvage some remnant of sanity?

2025-06-11 14:42:02 UTC

Still looking for good protest sign ideas for the #NoKings protests this Saturday. Right now, I’m tentatively just going with “NO KINGS” on one side and “Make America a DEMOCRACY Again” on the other…

Honestly hadn’t heard of Gene Sharp and his work before reading Nicholas Kristoff’s “Three Well-Tested Ways to Undermine an Autocrat” column today. But now I’m interested in these 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action and what they could look like in the USA. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/opinion/authoritarianism-democracy-protest.html?unlocked_article_code=1.JE8.Hb8i.qmsO-IvUcBeT&smid=url-share

How you treat immigrants is how you treat Jesus Christ.

OK, say my 2016 MacBook Pro is getting really old and slow and I’d like to try out a Linux laptop. Any good, low-cost-but-still-performant, Linux laptop recommendations? #linux #laptop #mac

“Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris’n with healing in his wings;
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.”

We’re witnessing the enshittification of the United States of America. y/n?

2024-11-22 11:10:44 UTC

I’m reminded this week that the huge, selfish silver lining of the 2020 lockdowns was that my young kids didn’t get sick for almost an entire year! Different story now! 🥴🤧

2024-11-17 20:25:20 UTC

What’s something you’re looking forward to this week?

2024-11-16 21:43:45 UTC

“Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife” (Prov. 17:1). Going to make this our young family’s life verse for a while!

What institutions are you supporting now?

I’m not sure if my Micro Blog posts from the iOS app are making it to the Timeline. If you see this post in the MB timeline, can you let me know? Thanks!

2024-11-07 19:29:04 UTC

God cares more about the marginalized than making America great again. God cares more about migrants than the middle class. God opposes the proud, not the poor. God hates greed, not gays. God loves trans kids more than tax cuts. God loves the unborn, the unhoused, and the undocumented.

Still waiting for “Stop the Steal” invites to Insurrection 2.0 from the Harris-Walz campaign. Wait, what’s that? Harris conceded, like a normal person and a good leader? Hmm, it sure is hard to “both-sides” away the Trumpist GOP’s insanity.

2024-11-06 11:00:39 UTC

We can’t say we weren’t warned. May God have mercy on the USA and the world.

2024-11-04 23:07:43 UTC

Gah! I was not emotionally prepared for it to start getting dark by 5pm the week of the election!

2024-11-04 22:30:04 UTC

FWIW, I'm much more worried about fascism and climate change than I am about undocumented immigrants and trans kids!

What’s your preferred Domain Name registrar? I’m looking to move mine from SiteGround to…someplace else.

I’m really enjoying tinkering with my personal website now that it’s powered by Hugo (instead of WordPress)!

2024-10-11 16:39:31 UTC

I feel dumb asking this (I’m a software engineer, but, hey, I spend 99% of my time on backend development, not web stuff!), but: Is there a way to have things set up on Micro.Blog so that I can edit my website locally (say, in VS Code) and push changes to a remote repository?

@npub1hh9…hqlz I’m sick of the bloat of WordPress and I want something I can tinker with without having to rely on so many plugins.

2024-10-08 22:12:10 UTC

OK, I’ve almost got my personal website switched from WordPress to Hugo and ready to go at https://joshuapsteele.github.io. I think I’ll stick with GitHub Pages for now, but I’m wondering if I should do anything more to tie it to my Micro.blog?

2024-10-02 10:46:35 UTC

Any SVG/Hugo/PaperMod experts out there have an SVG heart icon for omg.lol that would work well alongside the social icons included with PaperMod? I’ve got a full-size, full-color SVG, but haven’t figured out how to alter it to make it look right on my homepage. #hugo #paperMod #svg #webDesign

Learned a new word today. Without looking it up, do you know what “limerence” means? I didn’t.

Wow, this is a fantastic blogpost, with no fluff, on how to have better conversations. Which pieces of advice here stood out to you? https://anniemueller.com/better-conversations/ https://anniemueller.com/better-conversations/

2024-09-12 11:38:23 UTC

What are the top resources you wish more conservative Christians would read on the topic of immigration?

“I, too, had the ‘concept of a plan’–for my Ph.D. dissertation on how Barth and Bonhoeffer used the Bible to critique religion. And, well, I’m a software engineer now. But I do have an M.Div. and an M.A.! So, anyways…”

It’s worth noting the “middle ground” fallacy: “You claimed that a compromise, or middle point, between two extremes must be the truth.” https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/middle-ground https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/middle-ground

2024-09-09 14:42:32 UTC

What’s one thing you wish more people knew about the Bible?

2024-09-06 15:41:11 UTC

Looking for the following as I consider moving joshuapsteele.com from WordPress to something else: Markdown; integration with Drafts, MarsEdit, etc. (I really hate the WP editor); comments; contact form; images; able to import content from WP (~250 posts, ~12 pages). Any recs? #blogging #website

@npub1wwc…8xnt 3 eggs is virtuous. 4 eggs is on the line. 5 eggs is vicious? 😂

If you eat 30g of protein for breakfast, what do you eat? An ungodly number of eggs? I’d like to get more protein in the morning, but I’d like to know what the most popular and easiest 30g protein breakfasts are!

I hate Twitter but, to be honest, Mastodon feels a lot lonelier. I like learning, books, mental models, pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, tools, knots, DIY, EDC, productivity advice, coffee, beer, software development, Tolkien, rucking, soccer, chilly weather, etc. Where are my people at??

2023-06-21 00:06:30 UTC

invite me to bluesky you cowards

2023-06-15 16:54:22 UTC

Hey, is Hey any good? Do you use it?

2023-03-30 11:51:13 UTC

Mastodon’s gone rather quiet for me. Anyone else on here? 😁
