Oh hello there!

I have decided that I want to create a blog slash newsletter again, and Ghost was recommended as a good way to do that. You may notice a bunch of posts already here - I migrated over my Medium posts, because with a technofascist regime, I figure it's good to have information in multiple places. Redundancy is some flavor of good - lawful good? Neutral good? Chaotic good? I dunno, I guess it depends on how you use it.

I have no familiarity with Ghost, and it will probably take me some time to figure it out, so please do bear with me as I scrabble about with my clawed little hands. Right now, I'm trying to figure out why Ghost migrated all of my Medium posts twice - and if there's a way to delete duplicates in bulk. We shall see!

Along with this change of pace, I will also be starting a private Discord for paid subscribers over $10 a month. My hope is that this will offer a real incentive while also offering me a place to curate conversations on activism, mutual aid, operational security for luddites, etc. Of course I got this desire to do this all while my home life is being shaken up, so it may be April before things have settled down. Still, I wanted to not use Substack for this, and I also wanted to offer people who are furious with Patreon another option.

So, hello, thank you for joining me here in the dumpster, and let's see what we can do in this vaporwave cyberpunk dystopia!
