Reminder that Tech Differently is tomorrow, and tickets are still on sale. It’s all online, with a full networking day planned for Wednesday using a social chat platform. Come join us!

This is gonna be short, because we’re leaving for a trip to Grand Rapids shortly. I wish that it were actually cooler than it is here by more than a few degrees 😅

Inktober is going well. I’m ahead by a few days, but not fully done with the month as I wanted to be so that I didn’t have to worry at all on the trip. That’s ok, I’ll have my devices with me.

This has otherwise been a slow week, and while I look forward to some relaxation time on this trip, I also look forward to having a bit more stuff done 🤣

Anyway, let’s just do a link-share today. If you have anything that you wanna share back for next week, I’m open!

📖

An Open Letter to Matt Mullenweg on Accessibility in WordPress – Darrell Hilliker, Blind Access Journal
I would love to have a response to this too. Matt needs to stop being the head of a non-profit and an open source project if all that he wants to focus on is his own interests and business that seems to be crashing out.

Let’s Not Watch the New Harry Potter Together – Aly Gibbs, Assigned Media
It shouldn’t be hard to just not watch something. But it also shouldn’t be hard to agree that with a hateful creator at this high of a level of notoriety, we shouldn’t be supporting anything that she makes.

Zohran Mamdani: The Occupy Wall Street Mayor – Hasan Minhaj
As I always say, it’s really hard to hear stats about the top 0.1% wealthiest Americans and all of the problems that the country has in relation to them, and wondering how long they can survive.

I built a Blockbuster – Pre Internet
Not just a detailed build, but an interesting video discussing the history of Blockbuster and VHS rental in general.

My Anti-Productivity Productivity Thesis – Hank Green
Honestly, I wish that I were able to turn as many ideas into public things as Hank Green. And

anti-brainrot content & intellectualism as a trend… let’s discuss | Internet Analysis – tiffanyferg
anti-productivity, anti-brainrot. Approaching from either end and I think the takeaway should be have balance.

Distance – Ordinary Folk
Again, we will find our ways to connect with one another.

🎧

Going On A Date – NSP – Ninja Sex Party
Still have this bop stuck in my head.

GENER8ION feat. Yung Lean Perform “STORM” | 2026 VMAs
I’m very impressed by the choreography brought live for this song.

Did The Bronies Win The Internet? – Panic World
The fact that Bronies can shake up a website like 4chan is enough of a show of power.

Mr. TIFF – An Oral History of a Format – Never Post
What a wonderful story about learning more about your family history, as well as how it connects to the history of so many others, like Canada’s First Nations.

If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
