Blogging was the last resort of the loser, he thought…Most of these people just seemed to be asking for confirmation that they existed…Now millions of them could show each other just how empty their existence was.
But he still resumed his typing, two-fingered and accurate.
Faulks, Sebastian, A Week in December, London, Vintage, 2009
I have blogged since 2015, but am not prolific. My site is not about anything in particular and it has no particular point of view. It is more a record of my internal state over quite a few years.
This is the latest iteration of my website, up and running since January 2024.1 My life has changed quite a bit since then, and so this has not been a particularly bloggy year – I have lots to tell but no time to tell it. I am trying to remedy this.
In my blog posts, I use footnotes rather than in-text links, because in-text links annoy me when I’m reading onscreen.
I overuse commas and don’t always think through what I am saying before I post. Many of my posts are brain or emotion dumps. Some are more coherent. I’m not an idiot, just a worn-down person.
I’m not on social media. This is my only channel for imposing myself upon the internet.
Don’t be sad. It’ll be okay.
