It occurred to me the other day that there was never anything actually wrong with this platform. I moved on from it because the internet moved on. Every few years for the last decade-plus I have moved to a new platform: Tumblr, Medium, Substack. But the work of writing is the same -- the writing that needs doing is the same -- and I've found myself not doing it much over the last few years. I have trouble to write. Also, it is important that I write. The other day I realized the platform on which I do it doesn't matter at all. People who need to read this will read it.
Also, I think most people I know won't follow me back here -- really only the truly devoted. That will allow me to be a little bit more open than I otherwise would be. It's not that I mind people close to me knowing what I'm going to write about; it's just it isn't stuff I say to people other than my wife.
