Over the past several years I have struggled to find a blogging platform that worked for me, to little avail. For now, I'll put brief thought snippets on this page and link to individual pages for longer work.

1/22/25: It snowed a few days ago and now the ground is a wavy sheet of ice. On the 20th, the day of the inauguration, I ice skated my way to the post office to drop off my passport application. Is it too late?

2/6/25: I wrote about all the data involved with getting and wearing prosthetic legs. You can read it here.

3/4/2025: What is "locking in"? What is "crashing out"? What if you swap the phrases – I do, frankly, feel as if I am "crashing in" lately: I've started learning German and working on improving my French, am picking up Python and R, and have been very slowly working on some writing that I've decided not to hate; I throw myself into each endeavor with a frantic energy that I worry will fizzle out permanently. There are already fits and starts. Manic, but not mania. I keep that in check, I think.

I have been listening to a lot of desert blues lately (I like this album by Ali Farka Touré), the history and culture of which I've really enjoyed learning about.

When I was a kid I liked the Dada and Surrealism sections of the museums I got dragged to and wanted to be a gonzo journalist when I grew up. I think in the context of my personality as an adult that makes a lot of sense.
