just some upcoming events and things on my mind
my fucking allergies!!
just kidding, that's not what this blog is about, i just wanted to acknowledge it. here are some other things i want to acknowledge, separated by "these need your attention and action" and "no call to action needed here":
these need your attention and action
- monday may 27th is my and jamie's second robot karaoke show at wonderville in brooklyn. eat your barbecues and then join us with an updated catalog!
- the final xoxo festival is happening in august, the lottery for tickets is open right now, and i'll be co-hosting with open mike eagle! oh, and we're bringing back the art and code showcase. it will actually be fun, even if my allergies will be even more on tilt in portland.
- my friend zach is going full-time on building eleventy (which is what i use to power this live laugh blog). i love this for him, for eleventy, and the community - so contribute if you can so he can do this work sustainably!
no call to action needed here
- next week is the 10 year anniversary of me launching my sorting algorithm, jortsort at jsconf. i was going to make a documentary in time for it but it was not enough for me to get a new camera and microphone, i also got depression. something is in the works, it will just take some time. i got vitamins at duane reade about it because they had a BOGO deal on their store brand, so keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
- i've been thinking of signing up for my 20th newsletter platform (i quit substack way before it was "cool" btw) to crosspost my blogs here to the inboxes of you dinguses who had joined my mailing list over the last 10 years. anyway, you may get an email from me soon about it and i encourage you to unsubscribe if you don't want it - i just ask you not to announce your departure to me because i'm not an airport but i am fragile.
- i had some downtime the other night during an event and so i searched my name on twitter to see if anyone's been talking shit since i deleted my account 1.25 years ago. all things said about me were very kind, and i was reminded of a thing i said at causal islands last year that i think is worth sharing this week:
oh whoops, my bad, i meant this one:
there we go!
xoxo jenn
p.s. i didn't delete twitter because of any founder of slack (stewart and cal have been nothing but kind to me) but what i think happened was i had accidentally deactivated my account instead of deleting it and so i reactivated it to delete and there's a bot that tracks tech founders' follows that clearly had some kind of bug. anyway, i don't think the gag of posting that screenshot was worth the effort of me to explain but whatever you asked.
p.p.s. i know you didn't ask but i'm just not (currently) in my rumors era.
