#WordWeavers 2024-05-17 Have you ever written for other age groups?

I don't write for children, but preventing children from reading my stuff isn't my problem; that's their parents' job.

Besides, when I was 10 my idea of light reading was Stephen King, Anne Rice, Michael Moorcock, and Clive Barker. I sure as hell wasn't reading what passed for #YA fiction in the 1980s and 1990s; once you got past Judy Blume & Beverly Cleary YA was nothing but the print equivalent of ABC AfterSchool Specials. 🤮

Hi, @robb, I'm fiddling with #EchoFeed and I may have tripped over a bug.

I'm trying to connect my headlines RSS feed at https://starbreaker.org/feeds/headlines.xml, which appears to be valid (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstarbreaker.org%2Ffeeds%2Fheadlines.xml), but instead of {{ summary }} grabbing the contents of the <description> element it ends up blank.

Has anybody else reported this?

Since @robb had written something similar, here's something I wrote about customer sentiment analysis last year.

"What businesses should be asking is not whether I would recommend them to my friends, but whether I would warn my friends against them."

@cory, since you're into #DeathMetal, have you heard of #Disillusion from Germany?
