Begin again, and again
There is nothing as infuriating as having to constantly move platforms because the Nazis invade your bar. In this case the bar was Substack, and I couldn't in good consciousness let my subscribers money be used to pay Nazi bloggers. Nope. It has taken some time, and likely there will eventually be a move to a solo hosted site. But for now, Ghost it is. A new interface means I'll be fiddling around for a bit to find a layout I like. I'm reminded over and over that the priority is getting words on the page and then out to y'all. These are uncertain times and we all need support, kindness, and knowledge.
Be aware that my cognitive skills are stretched pretty thin. So there may be missed typos or some skipping around as I keep working to dial my writing skills back in. If you notice something is off, please let me know. Expect some cussing and a thank you in response. Dealing with Long COVID related brain fog and dyslexia at the same time is becoming an adventure that I am not a fan of. Alas, needs must. My need has always been writing things out as a way to share myself with the world.
I'll be covering the typical range of things from cats and kittens (potats), to politics, old school Clara Deep Thinks, and adding in Rambles- short form content that may lead to longer thinks down the road.
A note regarding the politics. Please remember the Front Lawn Rule. This is my front lawn. You've been invited over. Do not start an argument that results in my lawn being set on fire. At a minimum, I'll delete those comments with zero discussion. In more extreme cases, I'll boot you. This is not a democracy.
It is a benevolent dictatorship. Unlike the US government, I don't have to give people a vote, enforce fairness, and protect your right to speech. My lawn. My rules. Be polite. If someone is being an ass, walk away and flag me.
With that said and done, welcome back. I do hope you'll enjoy your time here.
