@rscottjones Hopefully a little nicer paper will work better. I'm nervous buying a nice pen without knowing first how it writes (I have a few of these in a pen drawer somewhere 🙁). I love the idea of reverse engineering this by buying a pen that fits your favorite refill ...
@eeaitch.bsky.social I was right there with you. It took rereading my journals from the previous attempts to quit to realize (for me) that moderation will never work. Going on four years now. You can do this!

@jsonbecker I've had surprising success lately with asking ChatGPT for buying recommendations. It helped me find a really nice pen that accepted a favorite refill and steered me to a terrific hosting provider for my Wordpress blog. At least for now, ChatGPT doesn't have the biases and conflicts that you get with Google or Reddit searches. YMMV.
@robj welcome back!
@rscottjones That is a great looking pen! Let me know what you think.
@lukemperez I am very sorry for your loss, Luke. Prayers for you and your family in this darkest time. From your profile, I see that we might be neighbors (I live near Buckeye). If you ever want to talk with another grieving dad, I am 100% here for you.
@manton thank you!
@manton it's been about 24 hours since I made that category change to Why Blogs Matter, and it's still showing up in personal essays. I thought maybe waiting a day would fix it. Did you notice anything that might explain why it's not updating?
@manton Yes. I just deselected the personal essay category from my post, Why Blogs Matter. I saved the post and then went back in to confirm the category was removed. That should have removed it from my personal essays page, but it's still showing up in essays and in the archive under personal essays on the website.
No errors showing on the Account Log. Let me know if you can see what's happening.
@rscottjones Welcome home! We're taking off shortly for a trip of our own, but will reach out when we're back in town.
@chrisheck Oh, I'm glad to hear you're on the mend.
@rsjon.es Hope everything is ok. Travel safe.
@willowglen.bsky.social Congratulations! You've made it through the hardest part.
@chrisheck Yuck! Hope everything is okay.
@KimberlyHirsh One of my absolute favorite books on writing ... and life. Loved all the quotes you shared!
@chrismatallana Wow, Chris. This is powerful writing. One of the best things I've read in a long while. Thank you for sharing.
@writingslowly Congratulations, Richard! 👏
@manton @mtt That fixed the error message and allowed me to publish a post, but the post is not showing up on the web site. Maybe I have two different problems? You should see a Kevin Kelly quote but it's stuck on a post from a couple of days ago: robertbreen.micro.blog
Good memory, @Mtt!
@Manton: under "Sources and Cross Posting Settings" it shows "unknown error ArgumentError" below the /feed.json section. Refreshing doesn't do anything. Should I click on the delete button to rebuild, or will that cause other problems? I imported posts from my Wordpress site to test the Bayou theme, so it's quite possible one or more of those posts didn't come over correctly.
Thanks all!
@Mtt -Yes, I'm getting this error: "Feed: Unknown exception ArgumentError"
@manton -- I've really enjoyed experimenting with @mtt's new Bayou theme. It has removed one of the biggest obstacles I face with combining my Wordpress and Micro.blog sites.
However, I need some technical assistance. I'm no longer able to publish posts or make any changes to the site design. I've removed any custom themes, deleted all unessential plugins, rebuilt the site, switched between Hugo versions, but nothing has solved my issue. I can reply to existing posts, but everything else is frozen.
Can you have a peek?
@tylerknowsnothing Yes! @Mtt has been doing some amazing work! 👏
@johnchandler Great video, John. I agree 100% with what you've shared. Seeing patterns in my journal over many years has been one of the most important benefits from my practice. I've tagged every journal entry, so reviewing a particular tag - i.e. fatherhood, goals, spirituality - is an interesting way to see how my views have changed over the years (or, in some few cases, stayed the same). Thanks for sharing this.
