I started this blog—albeit on a different domain—on August 27th 2015. I published daily until 12th September 2018, when I switched to twice-weekly. Now, I operate on no particular schedule. Below there’s a link to every single post I’ve released. That’s 1300+ posts and counting.
Bolded entries are the most popular posts and-or my favourites. There’s also some writing of mine that doesn’t appear here. A full list is on the Published Elsewhere page but here are the salient pieces…
