daily knowledge

@knowledge.wisp.place

this is an educational page. you will learn stuff. mainly written by @oakley.bsky.social but sometimes posts are written by my friends. for kat <3

anyways i do still intend to resume daily knowledge posting and move it to leaflet, i just need to do a real good knowledge for my first post on there and i have been too lazy/busy to do that

Wondering if Leaflet would be a better fit for this format. A decent amount of knowledges fit within one tweet but notably not all of them. It'd be on the shorter side compared to most Leaflet publications but I'm kinda thinking I could make this little microblog better if I switched. Thoughts?
