First off, yeah, I never finished my last post. I read more than 3 books in 2022. But not a ton more.
Things got busy again this year as everyone tried to ramp back up to some semblance of pre-covid work, with mixed results. I am currently working from home Monday and Friday, and we all went to the office 3 days a week for a few months, but right now I’m working those days from home too as a special 4 week program.
Post EM Twitter is really starting to suck, so I started following people on Mastodon a few days ago. A post I saw in both places this week said something along the lines of, “Posting on multiple platforms makes posting on any platform seem ridiculous.” I keep thinking of that every time I open either app, and I’m thinking of just walking away from both of them, like I have with Facebook, MySpace and Friendster.
Or here’s an embed of the actual post that will last as long as Mastodon does, I guess.
All of which led me back here. Good ol’, consistent WordPress. And, since I’m mainly posting in all of these places for an audience of myself (and my mom [hi mom] and possibly one or both of my weird nephews [hi weird nephews]) it makes sense to do it in a place that will be around in 20 years, so the whole, long record can be read after my passing to substantiate my mental decline and invalidate my will.
Oh look, we just got a dog.
Hello son! I don’t really understand all of these different social platforms, but Aidan says I’m too old to understand technological things. I’m beginning to believe him!
I need to meet my new grand dog soon!
Love, Mom 🥰
