136,000 books from the 18th Century.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND OF THEM.

Twitter can be Twitter, Trump can be Trump, etc. Using plain language is both clearer for readers than code words AND means people can set up more useable filters to control their own experience. #FediTips

The Internet is at a point where I trust the geocities-ass page that looks like a child made it more than any slickly produced modern web experience.

I crave your shitty blogs. Give me your UNDER CONSTRUCTION gifs.
