I wrote a letter to one of my senators, John Curtis, thanking him for calling for an independent investigation into the ICE shootings in Minnesota and urging him to go further.

The long-haired chihuahua stood on the armrest of the passenger seat and gazed at me serenely through the window of the white minivan, an actual American flag draped behind it, shrouding the entire second row of the van.

ART

JOY1
strong strokes of white paint on the back of the person’s long coat
walking down 1100 East toward Sugarhouse
drizzly dark January afternoon
cold but not as cold as it maybe should be

I want to learn how to take honest photographs with my phone.1 Until then, I just have quick snapshots that I feel inclined to share for some reason.2
This was my walking destination and writing spot yesterday morning.

I’ve left this site derelict but at the end of the year now I’m wishing I had kept up a comprehensive reading log and music log here, (my own personal ad hoc ‘wrapped’), so I might retroactively populate my site and feed with a bunch of backdated posts, mostly reading log updates. Just a heads up if you are out there somehow following this feed.

I’ve forgotten and failed everything meta I meant to do. I’m afraid to look at this website, I’m afraid to look at my notes, I’m afraid to look at the stacks of books on and around my desk, I’m afraid to look back at all my open tabs.
Just keep stacking it on, I guess? Open more tabs. Continue to live my life occasionally and a little bit, with no commentary or performance.

Test:
- If this note appears, I’ve figured out how to post a note to my website (static website run through Hugo/Github/Netlify) just by creating a note in my Obsidian vault. Cool.

Last December I opened a fresh notebook and started with this entry. It is kind of my current thesis statement for having a website, being on the internet, trying to make stuff, etc. I haven’t followed through with these ideas so far, but I feel like putting it up on the website is a start.
