I wrote a new blog post about #writing and #emacs! It is intended to be part of @greg's #EmacsCarnival. https://arnesonium.com/2025/07/writing-experience-emacs-carnival

We're stuck at another crossroads in the development of #Emacs Reader. I thought multi-threading was the last major hurdle, but nope.
So to all #Emacsers, how does one properly draw a translucent rectangle on top of an overlay (holding an image)?
Childframes don't work because toolkits don't allow for their transparency.

#Emacs #UOMF: Linking Headings
https://www.karl-voit.at/2019/11/16/UOMF-Linking-Headings/
I found an interesting link I added: if you're using a different method (using out of the box functionality) to link #orgmode headings, you might need to use this really tedious repair mechanism because links get broken all the time. 
Well, I'm glad I have found my way around that already, not having broken links in the first place. 
Oh, look, another dev who "wasn't ready" for Eshell's avant-garde brilliance. Apparently, it's now a "must-have" yet barely-used accessory in their #Emacs toolbox. Who knew #neglect could be so chic?

Well, I gave #use-package an honest shot. I rewrote my #emacs config using it, 5000 lines of #Org file.
It all works. Cleaned up a lot of things, replaced old ways with new ways. I now know definitively that I do not like use-package. It adds unnecessary complexity with very little benefit. It doesn't actually load any faster than my old way, in fact it seems to be slower, doing less, from start up to prompt.
:bind, :hook, :custom, and :ensure are cool. But not that cool.
I don't hate it, I can see if all you want is to load a package, bind a key, set a custom var and add a mode hook it could be handy. I won't be doing that.
Today, I'm ripping it out.
It's funny when people try and insult my #masculinity I identify as #twospirit since 1) I have Kleinfelters and 2) I'm gay I don't think much about my #gender at all. I'm neither man, nor woman, nor non-binary. I walk around as a dude, because I enjoy that. But honestly....I could care less. Like honestly...I just have better things to do. Like play with elfeed on #emacs. #trans #intersex
and some staring....
