I miss blogging, but I’ve got so little time for it now. A much more stressful position and a considerably longer commute. So perhaps “microblogging” is the answer. To me, microblogging is essentially what all social media is, but unlike social media I can post here on my site algorithm- and ad-free. All on my… — read more

Not a naked branch stirred as if all—living and non-living— huddled inward to protect against the cold. I looked north in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the green… — read more

A friend and colleague of mine is leaving the construction program I work on and I’ve decided to pursue his soon-to-be former position. It has a much higher pay, more responsibilities, and more prestige than my current position. It is highly unlike me to be writing about this on here, but I’m long past the… — read more
