I really love when a cat chirps in pleasant surprise at either your presence or your touch.

I had intense dreams last night, of encounters with a new text by mark danielewski that he was selling for $120 plus more for DLC, and of other texts and descriptions that i came across and were absolutely overwhelming. there’s a no reason to type any of this so vaguely, except to say that my nighttime imagination has been more visceral lately, and I’m glad. for a while I had nothing approaching an interesting dream, and in recent weeks I’ve lived days and lives in a single night.

Hello, friends. I've made myself a little place to Post that isn't a major social media platform. I feel better in myself when I don't visit those places as often; and I don't want you to have to go through them to find me. I also appreciate the space to think out loud and at more length. You already know the rationale.

I'm planning to add an RSS feed, and then to automatically tweet a link to each new Post, since I'd like you to be able to keep up however you like. I also don't see this as the final design; it doesn't matter too much, so I'm just shipping it for now.

I've wanted a personal blog-type place for a while, but there are a surprising number of ways you can be self-conscious about presenting yourself. I want to get outside the confines of the big platforms, and post my jokes as well as longer explorations about what I'm reading, playing, and thinking. I want to give myself room to dream, to be both an idealist and a realist... and this is a small part of that.
