::wishes I could do the quote stuff you can do::

I appreciate the good thoughts, and yea, both W.a *and* M.p have had upticks and downticks in terms of regular users/writers/patrons/etc., but things come and go. I still read R.w.a AND M.p AND Smol.pub every single day - there's always something SOMEWHERE! Haha.

I hope you find a new job and that the disastrous foray wasn't to...disaster-y.

Me? Blogging over on Ghost for now, but will likely be back on W.a in due time (kinda already *am* back there), and Ghost is nice and all, just "too much" happening there (in terms of the software - I don't see much of a community to speak of). olry.co is the URL (for now) if you wanna check it out.

Hope you're doing good, bud.

Oh... just a 50% pay cut to work 50 times harder to *not* accomplish what I've come to believe isn't humanly possible anyway....

Nice!

FWIW, I've come to see (online) "community" as mostly a myth. My theory of the moment on that is self-centered selves at best *maybe* wanna have a club of essentially clones of themselves. But the instant anyone else acts/speaks/writes in a way not in accord with such in a physical and/or conceptual space the club faithful consider their own, individuals thereof might try some sort of barking to scare off the evildoer, several/all might band together to bark and/or silence the evildoer away, etc.

So maybe "community" happens accidentally for a season from time to time, but soon enough collapses under the weight of its collective self-centered-ness?
