Consider this an official welcome to my site! As of now I'm not exactly sure what this will be. Most likely I'll end up posting my writing here, but I'm keeping my options open. I have no expectations going forward and neither do you! Follow only if you're curious and don't mind a bit of clutter.

For context, I went through a phase of teensy blog posts when I first made this site, then left it alone completely. If it's not obvious, those posts have been cryogenically frozen. This one might be doomed to the same. It's not the kind of thing I can keep up with, and it's hard to think about without cringing. The reason they stayed available for so long, actually, was my original promise that I would embrace the cringe, embrace anonymity and the freedom that comes with it... it felt like treason to erase such a wonderful sentiment I still (in theory) strongly agree with. But it's been holding me back. It's 2026, and this site is ready for a clean slate.

Here's to the next phase of cringe!
