Weirdly discombobulated as a result.12 Apr 2026 10:55 +0000at://did:plc:chplclalezj7unuj6l4qtdps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjc6tdm6nc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattdovey.com/post/3mihkursfgc2yDuolingo has many flaws, I'm sure, but it sure does know its audience when it teaches you "I want to quit" as the first sentence in a module on discussing work01 Apr 2026 20:48 +0000at://did:plc:chplclalezj7unuj6l4qtdps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mihkursfgc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattdovey.com/post/3mbpamfoqdc22I've read my Orwell, you can't get me that easily05 Jan 2026 20:09 +0000at://did:plc:chplclalezj7unuj6l4qtdps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbpamfoqdc22https://bsky.app/profile/mattdovey.com/post/3maydyaxvxs2nI get some weird ADHD earworms sometimes, but singing "Euripides, Euripides!" to the tune of O Christmas Tree is a bit odd even for me.

It resonated in so many ways for me, some of which I can't even name.
