This site is my little space on the internet that isn't controlled by billionaires, algorithms, or AI. I promise I'm not trying to sell you anything or recruit you to my new MLM scam. It's just a quiet place where I can think out loud about the problems I dwell on and the odd things that interest me.

Do you believe that humanity has any chance of righting itself?

"I want to believe so. Since it’s also the reason that stories exist." (Haruki Murakami)
