Ways to read this blog
I think the best way to read any blog is via RSS ?, and the RSS feed for this site is here. I also syndicate this to Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, and Tumblr.
If you enter your email below, you will get an email every Saturday morning with a link to every post I have written that week.
Blogging Philosophy
This is meant to be a user manual of sorts for this site. It also seeks to explain the quirks and biases of the author (that would be me). Not all of them, obviously, or even most, but enough for you to hopefully understand what is going on.
I have been blogging since 2003 and have watched blogging shift from “blogging” to “content creation”. I don’t desire to create content – I desire to blog. My old blog had been added onto and modified so much it was easier to start over than to fix it. So, going forward, you can expect:
- This website exists at the intersection of public and private. Opinions expressed here are mine, and I don’t speak for other people or organizations. This is a blog. It will house small writing, short essays, quotes I like, and links to things I want to share.
- There will be images only when they are pertinent to the post.
- A paragraph can be a post.
- I don’t measure traffic. No stats, no visitor logs. This protects your privacy and my integrity.
- Comments are welcome, but this website is mine, and if I wouldn’t let you say it in my living room, you won’t say it here.
- I still write longer essays, but that is no longer a service I provide for free. Instead, I write weekly essays for the people who pay to support my writing. You can learn more about that here.
- I bring my whole self to this site, and to life in general. There is no branding here, no topic, no theme. My inner life is chaotic and diverse – expect this site to be equally so.
