So, I decided I wanted to write about albums I buy on Bandcamp, partly because when I was still being extremely, over-the-top prolific about making music back on Twitter (before the twitter-synthwave community effectively excommunicated me due to a large portion of them being extremely bigoted), some didn’t think I...

Queue Inception bwam sound. If you’ve been following my little journey in hollowing out a piece of the internet that isn’t annoying, dominated by corporations, and their engagement tricks, you’ve likely seen me popping up this website, erecting a phpBB forum, and you’ve probably also noticed that people all over...

I’m at this point again, where, I’m having trouble thinking of things I want to write about.

You might look at the headline, “I spent two days playing World of Warcraft,” and go, “What is this, 2008?” And, honestly? I wish it was. But, the past it is not. Recently, I had a position change at work, and now I have to sleep during the day. But,...

Recently, I figured out how to get the mastodon-markdown-archive script working, which is a great script, and you should check it out, here. But! I wanted to do the same thing with Bluesky, in the case that Bluesky could be bought out by billionaires and destroyed in the same way...
