I've made an alternative frontend to Medium:
If you, like me, are occasionally forced to read articles on medium.com, now you can read them on Scribe instead! Feedback welcome.

Website/app request
Does anyone know of a free and ad-free website or app that lets people play Scrabble (or unbranded scrabble) asynchronously with friends?

Let me slip into something more... comfortable. (steps on a banana peel and pratfalls into a jacuzzi)
Scribe now proxies GitHub Gists! This was a bunch of work and I wrote small novel talking about how it works here: https://git.sr.ht/~edwardloveall/scribe/commit/7518a035b189e3ff3d27e8d4ea22de1575ca19e5
Here's an example: https://scribe.rip/yes-we-get-the-gist-1c2a27cdfc22
My partner has the audacity to vacuum in the office while I'm hacking so I'm blasting Clown Core in retaliation.

Consider donating to this campaign giving no-strings-attached money to black women in Georgia: https://community.givedirectly.org/campaigns/cbcb518edbde54f8
Cool things about it:
- Comes from recommendations of a local community task force meant to address economic disparity
- There's explicitly no financial literacy training attached. These women know how to spend money, they just need it to spend
- The money given is no string attached. Agency!

Tolkien spent his whole life perfecting the pseudo-history behind things like Elvish gerunds (which is when in English you add "-ing" to a verb). he can therefore be said to have devoted his time to writing The Lore of Their "-ings"
I feel al little conflicted about this honestly. I love RSS deeply. However, I don't like the dominance and control that many of these big platforms have and I feel like subscribing to their content, even via RSS, fuels these platforms.
At least you're not giving them tons of your personal data while you enjoy the content though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Check out this great list of #rss bridges to popular platforms: https://gist.github.com/thefranke/63853a6f8c499dc97bc17838f6cedcc2

Do you prefer to buy DRM-free ebooks?
You can read them on any device you want, and they're not locked to a single vendor or company. You actually own them.
Here is a list of online bookshops that sell DRM-free ebooks, digital comics, and RPGs!
