A Generally Public Blog
Jan. 10th, 2026 01:42 amWhile I do have a small number of locked posts, for the most part, everyone can see every post I post here. This is because my blog is not my diary.
In fact my diary largely exists only in my head. I feel this gives its contents maximum security, though it does have the disadvantage of being somewhat unreliable.
In any event, if I put a post on my blog, the purpose is generally for other people to see it, whether it's discussing an interest of mine or political thoughts or even thoughts about myself or my personal life. I think social media is great for sharing thoughts, so I like to take advantage of that. It does unfortunately increase my noticeability, but I feel compelled to share ideas.
