I spend half my time teaching programming and half my time doing programming. I have to constantly remind myself that teaching is valid work too, even if it doesn't feel as "productive" because I'm not making progress on an "actual project." It takes time and energy. I forget that almost every day and then feel frustrated when I'm burned out from it.

Friday morning vibes :v:

@Troll I put it in oatmeal ughhh so good.

@Steiner going to your instance address in Safari and saving to home screen works great too!

@jimthedev Saving octodon.social to homepage works great :thumbsup:

@jacoby oooo I'm going to check out Global Tea Hut... i'll let you know when I need a beta tester 😄

Working on a tea journal app side project right now. Will likely post updates to here as I make progress :seedling:

#currentlyreading The Name of the Wind – Patrick Rothfuss

@Troll Yes! They just show up everywhere.

Music comes whether called or not—you are a function of the world, taking input, producing output. You are a method of beauty. You are an instance of the pattern that takes reality to make new reality. The pattern of standing around and accidentally writing a song.

@Troll Agreed! Can't go wrong with leaves and water.

So can I connect my account to an RSS feed or how to I make this the open magical retro internet tool I've always wanted

@Troll Packets of Twinnings are life savers. "I think I'm out of tea, the day is lost it is over :cry: Oh, nope, found some Twinnings in my pocket."

(But I have loose leaf from Adagio on *a u t o - o r d e r* every month... so it's more like "Oh, nope, found some tea in my mailbox.")

Good morning, it is time for some English Breakfast tea.

@Stumpy :pineapple: X 500!!!

Whoever dresses up their dog or cat in a mastodon costume should receive 500 welcome pineapples immediately upon posting a picture of said dog or cat to Mastodon. :pineapple: cc: @acw

@leo I prefer the City Default Standards over the Generics, but best of luck moving the round object through the designated playing area!

@leo you should!

@daveskull81 Working on a Node/Express/MySQL tea journal app! An idea I've wanted to build for a long time.

@daveskull81 Yeah, I think for me personally I like to know who exactly I'm talking to, and on networks it feels like I'm speaking into a dark room and then a bunch of people turn on flashlights pointing at their faces and it's like "WOAH I didn't know who was listening." But I always feel better when I just start to share stuff.
