This is my attempt at digital transparency, at leaving breadcrumbs that lead back to something real.

Philosophy

These pages exist because I don't want my work to be hostage to platforms.

Core beliefs:

Plain text lasts
Accessibility is non-negotiable
Own your content
Community over competition
The work outlasts the platform

Inspired by:

"Paper is truly a magical thing, and I think that — more than anything else — it best answers the question of why I exactly I choose to write: There will always be more paper, so I will always have to continue writing."

— From "Why I Write" (2017)
