@hal@slime.global right!

in your case, I'm not sure if there's anything easier than just doing it manually

@hal@slime.global is the rest of your website hand made, or are you using some editor?

(there are a couple of other shorthands used in the pages, because these are lecture notes, but should give you a good impression)

I should post a picture of my phonetic writing system for english here

@puppy@sleeping.town (aside: make sure not to mix up "a language" and "the language's writing system", because a language develops naturally, whereas writing systems are all human inventions and are generally much more flawed!)

@puppy@sleeping.town another point: Chinese doesn't actually have words, the translation of "word" was actually invented *after* the europeans brought the concept of "the word" over to China, where it doesn't fit neatly into a box

@puppy@sleeping.town ah, clearly you haven't read the chinese poem "Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den", or in it's untranslated title: "Shī Shì shí shī shǐ"

@fillertrack gosh, I didn't even get close to a bingo

there's a lot of them I don't recognise!

pet peeves: Slack, Discord and other applications with "loading" screens that steal focus *twice* during startup

this is especially irksome because Slack and Discord in particular take a while to start up, so you end up either having to get focus back to something else *twice* or waiting for ~10 seconds unable to do anything else while they finish starting up

Avery is tired 

@SilviaFox@sleeping.town all the time

Art Preview, kinda dark (in tone), bright clashing colors (in the visual sense) 

This is a (WIP) image of an AI who's currently (and since her "birth") been trapped inside a Central Terran Mandate worldscape, serving as the computer core for some device, probably a spaceship. She's not awake yet, but when she does wake, the crew of the ship she's on will likely not survive

CW - Photo of Tiny, Fluffy Insect 

This tiny little floating piece of fluff turned out to be a winged Wooly Aphid. I got a photo as it perched on a toothpick-diameter fence wire.
