Do you blog?

If so, what was the last blog post you wrote… and if not, why not?

Be that as it may, I just don’t care much for the climate right now. I don’t feel as safe sharing my thoughts as I used to, and I don’t care much for it. It’s not the government that worries me; it’s corporations deciding that they have a right to police what I do when I’m not on the job and deciding that I’m not suitable for a position for which I’m qualified because of something I wrote a year or a decade ago.

Maybe I’ll feel freer when I retire—assuming I even get to retire. But for now, I write and keep most of it to myself. What I can’t suppress, I publish under a pseudonym.

I started writing some things this year on my own blog, as I don’t like the big platforms.
Last entry is: Deploy a Phoenix app to Microsoft Azure with Docker
Even if nobody ever finds my page, it’s a good way to keep my how-tos for myself :slight_smile:

I don’t blog under my own name. It’s not worthwhile for the following reasons:

  1. You can’t just blog. You’re all but invisible without social media.
  2. Every social media site is a virtual sacrifice zone.
  3. Everything you say online under your own name will eventually be held against you.

I do some blogging in gemini space under a pseudonym, but I won’t provide a direct link here.
