You ever have a really good idea for something creative and then realise that now you have to make the thing? Yeah, thatโ€™s where I am at the moment.

I have never been very good at social media. In real
Life I always have plenty to say but online I have too much time to convince myself that nobody wants to hear what I have to say. Teach me your ways, people of Bluesky, that I might share the stuff thatโ€™s in my head while thereโ€™s still time.

I'm experimenting with my iPad for journaling and planning. Does anyone have any recommendations.

Ideally I'd want a note taking app that you can use with pdfs and will sync with Google calendar (and apple calendar too because we've all been burned by Google shelving stuff we were using).

One of the things about historical research is you encounter the fact that children used to die at heart-breaking rates. The cemeteries are full of tombs with zero to eleven year life spans. The correspondence mentions child death on a regular basis.

Children died often.

A thing I found really interesting in Sinners is that the heroes spend the movie "in disarray" (bickering, negotiating, weighing conficting motivations) while the villains move in concert, choreographed and controlled.

I wrote a blog post. It's about not writing, which I feel is very meta of me.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
