At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I tag on what books I may have finished reading. Knowing I’ll revisit my social media posts, I’ve found, serves as a positive and mellowing influence on my online activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.

▰ I made a friend down by the ocean. (After I posted this image, a friend of mine commented, calling it a “viral photo.”)

▰ I marvel how you can have lower than average “skill” on a Wordle, and lower than average “luck,” and still somehow best the average score (in terms of “steps”) by over a point.

▰ Draft revisions underway, following an editorial check-in, for a very cool project I hope to be able to share news about soon. It’s someone else’s book. I’ve just contributed 1,000 words or so. It’s gonna be beautiful.

▰ I highly recommend eating an apple cut with a blade that just previously cut an orange. And on that note, have a good weekend, or best you can.
