No Power
After fourteen hours of no electricity due to 80mph wind gusts, I can safely say I took electricity for granted. Will I continue to take it for granted? Likely yes...

New Website
I just started a new website that is full of ascii art! I wanted to bring you all back to the days of yore, before Facebook and even MySpace.

Envied Innocence Article
I just wrote my first article on my new website! It's about ethical consumption and knowing the origins of products we use every day.

Envied Innocence
It is easy to envy children with their innocence and naivety. Someone could hand North Korean flags to a group of five-year-olds and they wo...Liyah Mackenzie Hernandez (Blogger)

Job Prospects
Job interviewers be like: Sell me this pen.
Me: Would you like to buy the large, extra large, or supreme-sized ink for the pen?
Job interviewers: You're hired! Welcome to the movie theater family.
(The joke here is that movie theaters are notorious for renaming their popcorn sizes.)
Guilty Pleasure
A guilty pleasure of mine is going on Facebook to watch videos of hydraulic presses going down on random objects. It captivates me. I need to stop feeding the machine.

Job Interview
So I applied for a job at a clothing store and got rejected after the in-person interview. I feel as though I didn't show enough hospitality to the mock customer. Note: I am a trans woman who doesn't present as female in public. I had to dial back my excitedness when offering suggestions for shoes, because in this part of the country, it would seem odd for a "man" to get all excited about matching dresses with heels and handbags. I should have considered that I would be assisting shoppers with clothing decisions. Bah humbug.
But maybe I dodged a bullet. I was going in and an employee said "don't do it". What a world.

The bulk of humanity is not people-friendly.....
But don't give up girl, there is no need to tell you that you have much more in you than those who reject you for who you are.

Nephew's Basketball Game
I was watching my nephew play basketball between 7 and 9, and it was fun. I cheered him on. The kids kept on fumbling against each other. Then there was a dogpile where team members were ganging up on the poor lad holding the ball. The ref wasn't having any of that. Haha. Good show! His team won: 29 to 7 (I think).

Getting Used to Friendica
Does video display when I paste the url..? I'm afraid not. How do properly I link to a video, so that it displays here?
Another try, now using the tags [video ] [/video ]:
<td>[video]https://vimeo.com/717451950</td>
That does not work. Now I try with the tag [vimeo] [/vimeo]:
<td>vimeo.com/717451950</td>
It does not seem to embed video either. The Friendica-wiki doesn’t offer a solution.
Uhm... When I reply to your message, I get a paperclip at the top. And it generates the same tags, not embedding the video... Look:
I will try adding video to a new post.
I think that is done on purpose but I stand corrected. In summery in Friendica you can create a post with an embedded video like the one above but you can't reply with an embedded video (only with a link or an image).
Can you demonstrate your new post?
