These are the screen grabs of probably the last newsletter email I've sent for a long while. I'm moving across the ocean and I have no idea if and when I'll be able to re-establish a pottery studio.

Absolutely tragic end to the season for the Mariners, but also one of the most fun seasons to watch since I was a kid. We went down fighting and had some absolutely epic games and moments along the way. 🔱

I'm not sure what's going on with Spotify lately but I've seen a few people talk about switching. This seems like a great time to plug my RPC app again: I also didn't switch for a long time because of their integration with Discord, but I got fed up enough and haven't looked back.
My Discord music presence app is finally working! I've been looking forward to this ever since I switched off of Spotify and my music presence broke :( github.com/appellation/...

I appreciate the Blue Jays for knocking out the hated Yankees but I think the clear optimal postseason outcome at this point is a Mariners v Brewers World Series, in which the teams would combine for zero championships

a team being guaranteed their first title would be pretty fucking cool

I've been working on modal components all summer, and I'm really excited to release the first piece of this: string select and label components in modals! You can finally put select menus in your bot's modals, and give more information with field descriptions!

Excited to play around with @surrealdb.com v2 a bit. Last I tried was probably a couple years ago and it seems like things have changed and improved quite a lot since then 👀

Instagram used to show posts from people I follow up top, but they changed that for some reason and now I have to wake through like 10 suggested and sponsored posts for every post I actually want to see 🫠
