Hi! My name is Josh and this is my personal blog, my web log.
The dance of pleasing the social media algorithims of the world’s biggest companies, whilst being beat to death by strangers with their comments displeased me so now I’m here.
I wish I were the kind of person who could just live without broadcasting. But there’s an animal inside me — right down in the marrow — that keeps asking ‘can you see me?’ and silence has never once soothed it.

The Peggy character in Hamilton is such a Peggy, saying responsible things like “Daddy said to be home by sundown,” reminding the sisters to not go downtown, and just popping in to remind everyone are exists “and Peggy!”
I think Luna needs a Peggy as a sibling.

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

Just got out of the car and for the first time in over a decade I thought about having cigarette.
This is the level of stress I’m living at through all this, that my brain thought a cigarette might help.

“But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying. The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.”

Watching Luna chase a reluctant mum + 2 kids around the public playground hoping that they could all play together is bringing me much joy.
The mum left the house today certain that the only person her kids would be playing with today would be her.
It took ten minutes but Luna won. She’s now leading the other kids around by hand.
Germs, Withers DNA, dirt and all.

Britt and I argue over getting news and information from Instagram or memes, and this is my argument, as written by Terence.
”The whole investigation took me 5 minutes. A Web search, a few clicks, and some ctrl+f‘ing. These are basic skills, and you should use those skills before you share something which sounds too good to be true. Treat any claim without a URl as suspicious.”
