does anyone know if it's worth learning php? i know that backend development is often done with other things these days but i've been interested in php on account of my 2000s programming interests and like... you know... a lot of older websites are still built on php, it's not like it's defunct or unused as a language. but i'm getting mixed signals on whether it's worth funneling my energy into that or just starting with backend JS or python or something (this is a completely new programming thing for me, i have not previously worked with backend stuff. i literally just wrapped my brain more or less around javascript promises to fetch resources and i still don't have much experience with them, much less more complex requests and actually posting data to a server)

12 Miles of Christmas 2022
I would have liked so much to participate in the 12 Miles of Christmas 2022 organized by SAMEYOU! Supporting this cause that is precious to me is important. Especially since the leader of this fundraiser will get a dragon egg from the GOT series! As a fan, this would have been the best Christmas gift! Unfortunately my health is a dazzling disaster (I might talk about it in a future post). If I had the certainty of being able to have the necessary support, it would have been different. However, I don't have the energy to solicit people...especially in these difficult times! Urgh...!

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.
we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."
at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.
the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.
the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.
what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.
here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Last time Luigi took him to pride, he saw that almost everyone else had their own flags, so this year he brought his own.
