What prompted by previous posts was this screenshot of Ed Zitron’s latest essay. I don’t deny people are lazy in their work or have a distaste for effort. (there some tasks and some kinds of writing we don’t find engaging). But I think there’s an intentionality to the choice.

A year ago next month my book Black Tech Ecosystems was published as an open access PDF. I’m happy to share that the physical copy of the book is now available for purchase! upcolorado.com/wac-clearing...

When Life Gives You Tangerines. This show was supposed to be background noise while I played my switch 2. I hate this show. Had me crying MULTIPLE times. Not sad. Just sweet and wholesome and the couple has children that pissed me off some times. 10/10.

Now that the book chapter is submitted and I can recommend Tastefully Yours in Netflix. I didn’t get in my feels until episode 3 but then it carried me through to the end. You can predict the outcome but how you get there is the point. An entertaining and heartfelt journey to the end.

Gannibal: a fun watch. Less scary in terms of jumpscare and more scary in that “you don’t belong and you had BETTER follow the villagers’ traditions OR ELSE! Also we can be in your business but you can’t be in ours.” Yeah that kind of vibe.

Reading a dissertation, a draft of lit review chapter, AND two comp exam essays this week, I relate to this meme so much 🤣

At the point in my writing where I can just wait for things to happen -- so I have time to think about 5 other writing projects, one of them a potential second book. Not sure what to focus on.
