So at present, I’m occasionally here, occasionally on Threads, and enjoying geeking out about tech/keyboards/sci-fi on Mastodon (while still trying to find the poets and writers there). Plus posting to an unpublicised blog. We’ll see what sticks.

@BellWalsworth Thank YOU for investing the time and deriving value from the exercises and prompts. And: you’re welcome. ;)

How we resist zero sum games in an age that increasingly demands absolutes. How one truth need not necessarily negate another.

@halleblen One day I’m going to finally get myself in gear and do the thing I’ve been thinking about where I put a group of poets together with some new-fangled apps/tools just to see what they make. Like a poetry-techathon.

And maybe that’s another part of it— creative misuse of tools. Paradise wasn’t designed for writing poems. But what would it mean to write a poem in there? Don’t mind me. I’ve only been rambling on about this stuff for years… 🤓🫣🤤
