This is one of my preferred platforms, where you might actually see my posts; which are my profiles in the 'verse and atproto. So, welcome! Glad you're here! You can find all the other places I am on the main and contact pages of the library or the sidebar of the blog.
Social profiles aside, do also head directly to the library site and blog sometimes, and, hey, maybe make it part of your daily practice to visit!? I mean, you could also use an RSS reader and follow along that way! (A variety of RSS feeds are listed on the contact page at the library.)
Do you want to get back to the old, weird, indie Internet?! Consider helping those trying to keep the dream alive! Budget even just $10 a month, find 10 creators doing things you enjoy, and pledge $1 each in recurring patronage. Join the $10 revolution!

Here's some links to other various thoughts I've had over the years about ways you might actively participate. If you're drawn to any of these, or if you have any other ideas not mentioned, let me know!
