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.

In 2026, gonna post more private journals to the blog. With the encouragement of my audiobook narrator friends, I shall let the public see things like the time I aroused everybody in an ice cream place by eating ice cream, unaware that I was putting on a joyously stunning performance for all the gay boys nearby, or the time my white woman friend signed me up for a sugar daddy dating website because I needed a sugar daddy because that, apparently, would solve all of my money problems. Or the time I treated a homeless man with Parkinsons to lunch after donations to my blog came in one day. #Blogging #Blog

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

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.
