a home for longform miscellany (ephemera, ideas, experiments, prompts, provocations) — like a personal blog but more spontaneous and social
by brendan @schlage.town
What happens if I make an obnoxiously long description? Like write the whole post up in here lol. This one isn't super long yet but it could be if I keep writing. I could make the post just keep going and going all in this description text area. Haha you can't stop me lmfao. Okay so what if I'm gonna delete this in a minute whatever you might see it for a hot second I guess. If you're reading this yes we are in the process of migrating Leaflet records so stay tuned for that. Okay thanks have a lovely evening by for now!
