I wasn’t planning to put journal posts here. I don’t like how they fill up the archives with a list of dates. Yet, here I am.
The news and my feeds have become a stream of terrible things. I don’t know how to stop it, or how to help, or even how to survive it all. I feel helpless.
As much as I like how Kirby manages baty.net, I still can’t get confortable not having a fully static website. I know it doesn’t actually matter. Millions of blogs run on WordPress, Ghost, whatever. It’s fine, but it bothers me and that low-grade annoyance takes a toll. That’s probably why I’m here in Hugo again today.
I’m planning to leverage Flickr a bit more when posting to social media. My Mastodon posts aren’t forever, so relying on a 3rd-party image hosting service is no big deal. Plus, I’ve been using Flickr since 2004, so I’m counting on Mr. Lindy1.
There is no Mr. Lindy, but that’s what I’m calling the Lindy Effect here :). ↩︎
