I had an awful time building the blog because of errors fetching content from Twitter. This, I suspect, has to do with their new policies on unauthenticated access. So I’m getting rid of my link files dating back to 2016 (though I’m keeping them archived just in case). I’m still keeping my account, but not adding anything that isn’t already going to be available on my presence on Mastodon or Facebook.

For every post here I write maybe three for my own use over on Penzu as a sort of diary of what’s going on. I’ve learned that it’s too easy to forget a lot sooner than you expect just what you were experiencing and saying and doing if you don’t leave some kind of traces for yourself to get back into your head in times past. What I write are things too personal or professionally sensitive to want to put out on a public blog like this, or more often things that only I figure I would be interested in knowing about.
