Moving my personal blog and a new RSS feed URL (goodbye and thanks Micro.blog)

Hey :)

This is just a quick update on this post- RSS feed changes

I’m moving from Micro.blog to a new platform.

  • I am going to be moving to a new blogging platform this weekend (for my personal blog). Maybe tonight. It just depends how things go.
  • The aeryn.me domain will be moved to the new platform too.
  • The new feed URL will be at https://aeryn.me/feed/.
  • If you wish to continue to follow this blog in your feed reader, you will need to add it again because I am unable to add feed redirects on the new platform.
  • My Micro.blog-hosted site will remain live for some more months whilst I continue migrating posts. But will eventually disappear, I expect.
  • I do not intend to delete my account (I want to preserve timeline posts) but will let it lapse back to a free account.
  • I will most likely not be posting to Micro.blog anymore. 🤷‍♀️
  • I am now microblogging on Mastodon and still adding Micro.blog folks there gradually. I love that I can continue to follow, although there does feel like some distance now, which is a shame.
  • I cross-post from Mastodon to Bluesky too.

Lastly, although I will potentially write about Micro.blog again in the future, I just want to say thank you to Manton, support people, and the community. Thanks for making me feel welcome and being generally a friendly, supportive, and wholesome place.

Bye and see you around

Aeryn x

Edit to add: I think I may have figured out a RSS redirect at the new place. Not sure.


RSS feed changes

Hey,

I am migrating this blog (aeryn.me) to a new platform soon. And all existing RSS feeds will break.

I have set up a feed redirect on the current platform. If you would like to continue to follow my blog, please subscribe this new URL.

The new feed URL will be: https://aeryn.me/feed/

This URL will be the Atom feed address on the new platform, and should be a valid redirect until I complete the move. But I’m not sure all RSS feed clients will happily ‘subscribe’ to a redirect, or not.

So, if you subscribe and you don’t hear anything within a couple of weeks, please check my blog again. I’ll be posting RSS/Atom feed options on the new platform once I’ve moved over.


I’ve been listening to The B52’s tonight. It’s been awesome. I’m surprised how many of these I know 🎵 music.apple.com/gb/playli…


Arcane.

I’ve been watching videos about David Lynch recently on YouTube. Just clips mainly. And I’ve saved a couple of longform videos to watch about him later.

I was never really interested in him as a person whilst he was alive, but rather the art that he made. So I just didn’t really know much about him other than he’s just some director.

But the more I watch about him, the more I find him to be a very endearing soul. And the more I find myself falling in love with him.

I’m looking forward to diving into more of his work and getting to know him.


A still from the end of the film Koyaanisqatsi (1982) reading- Translation of the Hopi Prophecies sung in the film. If we dig precious things from the land we will invite disaster. Near the Day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky. A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans.

I just watched Koyaanisqatsi (1982) 🎥. An intensely beautiful film. I’m just blown away and have no words to describe the journey I’ve been on for the last 90 minutes. I feel like I need to be quiet for a few days to take it all in.

Sometimes art can change your life. This might be that.


Aaah. I love Billy Connolly. I just watched Made in Scotland. So good. So heartwarming. He’s part of my culture. I remember watching him at various times all through my life, pretty much. He truly has the soul of an artist. Very inspiring.


It took me 30 years to watch Priscilla. I loved it!

This is so cool. It’s mind bendingly creative. 🎵


I really love The Phantom Menace. Always have done.

I’ve been listening to this artist on shuffle for hours today. And he has no albums listed on Apple Music. But a lot of singles and EPs.

Just really beautiful music. Slightly eclectic. I was reminded sometimes of Hans Zimmer, sometimes Einaudi. There are field recordings in the mix too. Wonderful! 🎵

Wipeout was the game! I played it relentlessly and it was such a rush! The music was a massive part of that: tracks from this album, and the licensed music too. 🎵🎮

My soundtrack to the original PlayStation. 1995.

Episodes 4,5,6 of Arcane, S2: fuuuuuuuuck! Destroyed me.

Better leave it another week for the final third.

Aaaaaaah I love this album so much!!!! Weeeeeee

It’s the ultimate GettingShitDoneOnASunday music. 🎵


I haven’t seen Die Hard in so long. And I’ve seen the censored TV version more often than the original. I was telling my son about the iconic line censored and dubbed to “Yippee-ki-yay, kimosabe”. Somehow we didn’t notice McClane say it but we did notice Gruber quote it towards the end 🤣🍿


I remember watching reruns of TOS in the 80s. I think it was on about 6pm on BBC2. I was captivated by it and that was it. Trekkie for life 🖖


I’m loving seeing all the art on Bluesky. It’s really inspiring


I think I’m under the weather. I’ve been feeling really off today. Shaky, uncertain, forgetful, scattered, confused, exhausted, restless. I stayed in and have been unable to do anything except watch Being John Malkovich. Which I was not as good as I was expecting.

Music to cry to. I’m so blown away by this album after one listen. 🎵🎧
