Well, that was a whole week gone by without popping in. Tres bien. All good. Lots of writing. A whole lot of WTFs. And Twitter is still in the process of melting down, thanks to Overlord Musk’s War on Free Speech™️. Turns out, his idea of allowing unfettered speech on Twitter is limited only to those who worship him and/or his idols.

There was a moment where I considered reaching out to SG regarding their blogging tools. We can write, link, and quote, but we can’t manage multiple drafts and articles and post types and blah blah blah. But I changed my mind when I thought about why I’m doing this. In What’s On My Mind?, I said:
There is no theme here. There’s no agenda....

There’s so much shit that I’m into. Writing, music, design, art, coding. None of it’s simple, though I suppose there isn’t anything that is. Once you dive deeply into some thing, you come to understand the nuance of that thing, and you never look at that thing the same way again.

This prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line and still ain't got it right
And while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplated
—Fuel, Innocent
You create your own reality.

There’s a particular situation that arose on Thanksgiving that is living rent free in my brain. And more than just being non-beneficial, it’s costing me my peace. However, it’s not something I want to write about publicly.
I thought about doing so for a moment though. Even started a draft in my notes app. Then thought better of it.
I’m still processing it, and while...

Shit. I unlocked the “secret” ending in Cyberpunk 2077, and I have opinions.
