The primary purpose of this blog's recent reorganization is to designate multiple spaces for me to work towards separate goals.

As part of #100DaysToOffload I am offloading my overloaded tabs and bookmarks. If I stick with this being a regular series sometimes I'll have stuff to say and sometimes just list links for future reference. #1000TabsToOffload

Blogging. Journaling. Writing.

I sense myself at a nexus of old and new. That sounds grandiose and sci-fi, but it's a mundane truth. Every moment is between old and new. I made some writing decisions—I want to categorize a few different types of writing by URL—that gave birth to this blog for uncategorized writing. I wanted continuity so I imported prior posts here. I have been working my way back to new. When I finished my importation I made a Post Zero as pivot point. That put me in mind of Inbox Zero, Browser Tab Zero, and fresh starts...

During the time that I've been arranging this blog just so I have barely made a peep on popular social media. Today I dropped the following note there:

Nothing to see here.

Help that denies someone's agency isn't help. The solution to “Beggars can't be choosers” is that no one should have to beg for basic needs. Basic needs include respect for every human's autonomy. All choosers, no beggars. That's just.

I strive to be a constructive complainer. That’s one way of presenting my goals. There is rampant rage and despair in all my social networks.

An out of character post for this list because it's literally written in character, as if I were running a news organization. I would like to do more writing that addresses issues from a fictive or hypothetical point of view. Rather than emit constant criticism I want to entertain positive possibilities. These types of ideas may take form in my PlanetB blog.

I don’t wanna let people down I don’t wanna let myself down I’m sad I’m supposed to be happy now, committed to my current ways. I just spent $450 to not feel better. I feel bad I feel discouraged I don’t wanna talk about it I don’t wanna talk to anybody I don’t wanna see anybody and maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow Good night
