    You don’t know crawfish unless you’ve had it in a very specific region of Louisiana. That does not include New Orleans.

    I couldn’t resist.

    I need an iPhone case suggestion (15 Pro Max). I’ve been using the excellent Ryan London case but I messed it up. I prefer thinner cases without a bottom lip (see photo). Any favorites?

    We recently had a fully functioning grandfather clock (weight-driven) passed to us and I’m in love. We already have a couple of mantle clocks (spring-driven), and I wear an automatic watch daily. There’s just something I love about the engineering and analog of it all.

    Braves fans first. But baseball fan overall. My phone surfaced this photo from a few years ago today. Son had been begging to catch an Astros game.

    Introducing Bayou Theme for Micro.blog

    In my opinion, your longform content deserves the spotlight. Yet, in the fast-moving stream of microposts, it often gets buried, fading into the archives quicker than it should. That’s the problem Bayou Theme is designed to solve.

    Bayou Theme prioritizes longform writing while keeping your microposts seamlessly integrated. Your latest longform (titled) blog posts stand out, ensuring they get the attention they deserve, while shorter updates remain accessible without dominating the experience. The result? A balanced, clean, and thoughtful approach to blogging on Micro.blog.

    Bayou is available now—free to install from the Plugins section in your Micro.blog dashboard. To learn more, visit bayou.micro.blog.

    I created Bayou with the same philosophy that guides all my work: simplicity, clarity, and a focus on meaningful content. If you’re looking for a Micro.blog theme that gives your longform writing the presence it deserves without losing the conversational nature of microposts, Bayou is for you.

    Give it a try!
