Hi. I've been writing on the internet since I became a wannabe food blogger in 2008. It never stuck for any extended period of time; blogging and I were in an on/off relationship for most of my 20s. In my 30s, this changed, in particular after the stroke. Fun times! In any case, I really needed to write after that happened, so I went on Substack to do so. Since then, Substack and I have been in a weird situationship too, though, which I believe I have just gotten the hang of finally. In any case, I want to post all my stuff in a place that's built to last, doesn't have an algo, or at least the algo doesn't matter, and where I feel good about paying a small fee to the person who made it each month. That place is here. Welcome.

Here are the places you'll find me:

Now you have the list, I'll explain what each of these places are in more detail.
