A garden is the best anxiety med.
Developing a few rolls of color and black and white film in the darkroom. Good way to spend a rainy day.
How I track social media profile clicks
Would you like to know how many people found your blog from Mastodon? How about how many people find your YouTube channel via TikTok? Back in my day, when someone clicked on…
