Due to the self-destruction of Twitter, people are talking about going back to blogs. So here is a try by me.
I suppose I could describe what I have done for the past 2 years. Not much, due to Covid. I’ve spent too much time on facebook, which I enjoy. It’s a great way to keep in touch with people I like in the SF community. I have not done a lot of writing. Much of the time, I have felt written out. Though that feeling seems to be passing. Maybe I do have more to say. I worked on a story today, that may be almost ready to send out…
The other thing I have been doing is reading the news online, which I do not recommend. American politics seem progressively odder and more scary. There is a non-trivial chance that the war in Ukraine may lead to a nuclear exchange. Antonio Gramsci has a famous comment, which keeps occurring to me. “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
A good time to write, maybe…
