I have a Ko-fi page for my blog that I use as a tip jar, for those interested in supporting my writing financially. Thank you!

Are you one of those people who say "I'd rather read your crappy original writing than something generated by AI?" Now's the time to put your money where your mouth is!
I, without any previous experience, wrote 100 different short stories, around 1,000 words each, for a total of over 105,000 words! Find them on my #blog, or don't; it's a free country!

I am a blind writer. Typically, I write Romance. I write it not as a guilty pleasure, but as a survival manual. In a world that tells disabled people we are burdens, Romance is the only genre that insists we are worthy of worship. It is a political act to write a story where safety is the ultimate kink. https://sightlessscribbles.com/welcome-note/ #Romance #RomanceLandia #RomanceReaders #Blog #Blogging #IndieWeb
In the latest post in my history of blogging and RSS series, I look at the emergence of the blogosphere in 2002 — a thriving ecosystem of colourful personal sites that interconnected to each other via RSS, trackback and blogrolls. 2002 also saw the debut of RSS 2.0, Technorati and Google News. https://cybercultural.com/p/blogs-rss-2002/ #InternetHistory #Blogging

I’m kinda fascinated by Ghost (the blogging platform) and its ability to sync with Mastodon. Has anyone tried it for this purpose? Do you like how it works?
I really like my current set up, not wishing to change right now. I’m just gathering data.
Just a quick Side Note:
I will scale down my Activities on Mastodon from now on, will focus my Attention and Time elsewhere in the digital Realm.
There will be still Posts and Interactions be published, like from my Blog automatically distributed into the Fediverse.
Micro-Blogging on Mastodon isn't what i imagined it to be or what i need in this Form, after trying it out for a while. 🤔
So long... 😉
The Gray Teacher
On a gray winter morning, memory drifts back to an old classroom, a stern teacher, and the thin line between mist and humidity.

I write technical articles on my blog.
AIs show up in large numbers to read them, crawl them, learn from them.
Time passes. I publish a new post.
And right on schedule, someone comments:
"This was clearly written by an AI".
Which is fascinating, really.
I write.
Machines read.
I keep writing.
Then humans accuse me of being the machine.
At this point I am not sure if the problem is that AI sounds too human,
or that humans have forgotten what a human who actually studies sounds like.
Either way, I will keep writing.
Worst case scenario, the AIs will enjoy it.
Best case scenario, one day a human will too.

#Blogging is the art of watching that post you wrote in like two hours about washing your shark plush last year overshadowing everything else you will ever write.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

You Don't Need a Tech Stack. You Just Need a Text Editor.
Plain text files built the internet before technology stacks were a thing. Honestly, there is no reason why your web presence cannot just be a simple TXT file.

I really need to find more people who do link dumps! I love them because I find some human writers blogging about random stuff. If you do link dumps, link roundups, please tell me.

It has been pointed out to me that my "writing life" blog might have more email subscribers if I made it easier for people to subscribe to it.
I gotta admit they have a point. So here's a signup page:
https://kmherkes.com/newsletter-signup
And here's a link to look at what kind of topics & pics I post. Just in case you want to do more research first, ya know? That's the kind of thing I would want to do.
Let me explain:
I have two accounts on the #fediverse
1. This one: @shojiwax On which I post links to my website articles PLUS a general stream of consciousness remarks links, boosts and comments.
2. https://mastodon.au/@shojiwax.com@shojiwax.com this is a direct feed from my website and includes full text of my writings. Sorta like subscribing to my #blog’s RSS feed.
