I do this manually each week, collating the tweets I made at [twitter.com/disquiet](https://twitter.com/disquiet/) (which I think of as my public notebook) that I want to keep track of. For the most part, this means ones I initiated, not ones in which I directly responded to someone. I sometimes tweak them a bit here. Some tweets pop up on Disquiet.com sooner than I get around to collating them, so I leave them out of the weekly round-up. It’s usually personally informative to revisit the previous week of thinking out loud, especially these days, when a week can feel both like a year and like nothing whatsoever has happened or changed.

Corey) and the final Jade trilogy book (*Jade Legacy*, from Fonda Lee).

▰ Maybe it’s me, but this seems like a trick question
▰ Current sounds, 7:40am: chirruping of birds celebrating the sun that just rose over nearby buildings, laptop fan whirring under pressure of several dozen open tabs, rattle of skateboarder enjoying a street devoid of traffic, occasional creak from house as it warms
▰ Today’s guitar class homework
▰ I know I’m at home on the web when I go to a message board I participate on regularly and see a new thread titled “Envelope Problems.”
▰ Went to the dentist, one admirably steeped in pandemic precaution.
1. Yes, there was an instrumental version of a Steely Dan song playing upon arrival.
2. Yes, the increased presence of whirring HEPA filters made me drowsy.
3. And yes, if my parents are reading: no cavities.
