I’m also at the point where significant and relevant events that I’ll have to not include or I’ll never finish writing are happening daily.

I’m at the point in writing a long blog where each individual word added, edited or deleted feels simultaneously like a hard slog & a minor victory.

I agonise over including every important detail & my writing but I need to remember I’m not a professional historian, this is a labor of love.

The classic hactivist tactic of trying to make defacing the website for a karaoke bar in some random country sound impactful is even stranger when it has a bunch of intense religious messaging around it, trying to make it sound like a conquest on behalf of god.

I genuinely go weeks forgetting that Threads still exists and then see it mentioned in an article or a blog and think oh crap, Threads is a thing.

If your website insists on me reading in an app I’m either going to a paywall removing site or just not reading what you have to say. Stop trying to put every damn thing in an app.
