dreams
in one of my dreams, i threw a punch. knuckles to jaw, the crack ringing out around us. and the best part was that i didn’t regret it - not in my dream and not in real life. in another one i finally got to unleash every harsh word i had been biting back, every ugly thought that i had pushed down, every unreasonable assumption that unbeknownst to me at the time would turn out to be reasonable after all. the worst dream was the most unrealistic one. in that one, he held his hands up and took responsibility and yes, some of the blame too. he was reasonable. rational, even. i woke up and rage continued to flow through me. it simmered eventually, full flames to a muted flicker but still there in the back of my mind. it never went away either, always there to remind me of what had happened. the dreams stopped eventually but the fire remained.

about
scorched earth is part of a wider attempt to start writing again, in a form that isn't pithy little posts on microblogging websites. my hope is to keep this going even when my inspiration drops off. it is built using strawberry starter by kate bagenzo.

Tagged updates
Strawbery Starter 1.1 release
A new update for Strawberry Starter! In fact, the first major update!
Here's a rundown of the new features:
Tags
You could already tag your posts, but now it's more useful! If you have at least one tag (that isn't post or infobar) a tag view will appear in your "All Posts" page. This lets you view every tagged post at once! All of the example posts that come with the template have tags now, to serve as little examples of this feature.
Navbar links & Footer comments
It's now easier than ever to add external links to your navbar, or add comments to your post pages. You'll see two new layouts in the _includes folder: navbar.html and comments.html. The former lets you easily add external links (or whatever else)! and the latter lets you easily copy paste a comment script from a service like Disqus or CommentBox.
Minifeeds
A new social-media-ish alternative for your blog! Add feeds to the minifeeds folder and give them a tag. This is a great way to keep an ongoing list of books you've read or stuff you're doing. Posts added to the minifeeds folder won't count as "posts", and so won't clog up the RSS Feed or the "All Posts" page. They'll only appear in the tag view, but you can also link to them directly. A new #Updates minifeed has been added to the template to show you how to do it!
Easy backups!
You can now type npm run backup in a command line to backup your blog. This will preserve your assets and posts in a format that's really convenient for backing up, OR for using to upgrade to a newer version of Strawberry Starter. Just download the new version, drop your backup in there, and voila!
There's a new guide on the site about how to use all these in more detail: Advanced Features.
Let me know what you think about this update! I've already seen some cool blogs out there, and am hoping to see more. Special thanks to Em Reed and their awesome blog, for helping me test out these new features.
Keep blogging, and believe in the net! 🍓
