hello, world; restarting again

2024-09-10

i have really wanted to do this for a while now, have a pseudonymous online presence away from any non-infrastructural intermediary. and now i guess i do!

my intentions

do more of posting what i love.

transit thoughts

i kind of freakin love public transit. i think that it’s one of our greatest inventions as a society, an underlooked transformative technology, and i would love to talk more about it.

technology as social-change

i was going to post on a more respectable alias but it will be more fun for me to post these thoughts pseudonymously i think

identity

an often-maligned lens to look through society these days, but i find it fascinating. every day we create the person we are. some choose to create radically differently from others. why?

my anti-intentions

“social media”

i have encountered friction with all purely-online spaces, from forums to twitter. i think i need to acknowledge it’s not for me.

therefore this website will not feature any of that! no comments, nothing. eventually i might add some sort of messaging contact but idk yet. sorry to be so old-school about it!

self-censorship

i think that part of social media for me is trying to filter my opinions to curry favor with a large group of people. i have a lot of thoughts on this but i think this is a bad way to relate interpersonally.¹

bad opsec

enough said tbh.

conclusion

alright, all is set and done with regards to intentions. let’s ridepost
