It's time for me to admit I'm not really posting here on Blogger anymore. I'll still keep this blog online (as long as Blogger continues to exist) as a record of nearly 2 decades of writing, but I don't expect to be adding to it.

If you want to see what I'm up to now, come find me on Medium or Substack!
