Here are some of the things I’m working on and thinking about now…

• Concocting and rolling out changes to this website. +

  Laying the groundwork to put more content in ‘collections’ and static pages not bound by the reverse-chronological tyranny of the ‘feed’, all the while trying to make sure the date-based feeds are accessible and functional, because they do have their place.

• Proceeding on my work goal of getting back to creating and curating more resources, as well as being better about sharing and promoting the resources that already exist. +

  Started with this ‘Top titles of 2021’ project.

• Listening to Nilüfer Yanya’s album PAINLESS pretty obsessively, as well as the new Big Thief double-album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You. +

  

  Obsessive repeat listens are actually good for my mindset, I think, and I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I was last hooked on an artist or album like this.

• I read Moon Witch Spider King and had big plans for more reading, but I’ve kind of fallen off. +

  See the next bullet for a reason why.

• Playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus +

  This was something I started supposedly just to humor my kids, but to be honest I think I’m playing it more than they are now and I’ve let it get in the way a bit of my reading (see above) and my writing and working on this website. But sometimes in the evening those other things seem too hard, and that pokédex isn’t going to fill itself…

• Our backyard is a a muddy hellscape that will dry to a dustbowl in summer, and I should be doing something about it, but I just can’t. +

  I don’t know where to start. Help me please.
