The new Chappell Roan song is long as hell

A portrait of me wearing a black jacket, a tartan check scarf, and angular green glasses. Snow lightly covers the shoulders of my jacket and some has clearly fallen into the opening around my neck, show that the snowfall is still active. Snowflakes cover my dark brunette hair giving it a white-ish appearance with my natural color peeking through. Behind me and partially covered is a brick sign for my neighborhood, the lettering on it reads Heights.
Another photo of me taken from several steps farther back. My full figure can be seen and I am pointing backward toward the Heights sign. Around me are several plants and in the background are two tall palm trees who stick out in such a wintery scene.
Record snow in Houston yesterday, never thought I’d see it

Marley & Marley from A Muppet Christmas Carol are getting in Ebenezer Scrooge’s face and yelling at him. The man is scared. The caption reads, “I wear the chain I forged in life! I made it link by link, and yard by yard!”

1. Never made a "rustling grass" gif for the summon process, so the spinning icon just makes people think the site is slow
2. Needs a more engaging call to action to first get users clicking
3. Needs tests for hooks and not just components
Pros
1. People likes cats
2. Next is a strong and growing framework
3. Strong test coverage
4. Relatively pleased with how hooks handle the business logic
I'm serious about the 1st point. Sometimes a site that you open for 2 min and say, oh that's nice, does exactly what you're trying to achieve.
I've decided to start doing a quick summary and assessment of some of my past projects to get more in the groove of posting here. Day 1 is Cat Summoner, a Next/React site that lets you do exactly what the name suggests

Is it weird that I’ve returned to Pokémon Go and programming Go in the same week?

A fetching cat has white fur with black spots on his head and running down his back. He is sitting on all four legs in bright green grass, with his front paws gripping the ground. His green eyes look into the camera in a seemingly uninterested manner
Dipping back into Bluesky and trying to see who’s active in here that I follow elsewhere! Here is a pic of my cat Lalo as a bonus
