@dmoonfire @molly0xfff

Most gyms have Wi-Fi nowadays, so you can "go to the gym" and sit in the corner writing blog posts on your laptop. "I go to the gym and blog every day" would not be a lie.

@molly0xfff I'm downright delighted that blogging is making a comeback.

I feel like we're FAR too quick to deem technology as "So 5 minutes ago" and reject it out of hand simply because it's not new!

Show threadIvan TodorovJan 6
@feoh @molly0xfff agreed, and I would argue that there is quite a bit of older tech that's more than relevant, and in some way better than the new one. I'm self hosting an IRC server, and the wonderful focus on typing is amazing :)

@molly0xfff I thought some get a jolt of motivation in November the month of mustaches and writing novels and blogs.

I've become so irregular from monthly to yearly. I need to get myself down quiet and take that time to just sit through a full length post creation. Although sometimes I am just keeping it locally as I am focusing on creativity than censoring.

To anyone else just starting. Use the flight mode. Get a full screen app like focuswriter or just a pen and notebook in a park. Express.

@molly0xfff and if you’re already a blogger and you’ve been thinking about starting a #PeerTube channel, this might be your sign to start converting some of those blog posts into video essays.

That way you can offer both text, audio, and video to people of all needs.

But do it.

Make your new years resolution on Jan 5th? Sure. Better late than never. Is this the best platform? Who knows! The best camera is the one you have with you. Do I have anything to say? I don't see how that matters because nobody is reading this.
