what is this space?

When I started this blog, I wanted it to be more distanced from my daily life or who I am in private. The first breach of that was my joining Xaya’s carnival in December which I really wanted to partake in and where I talked a bit about my sexuality. However, since I only had/have this one blog, I could only post my contribution here, so my one clear rule was broken. This started a chain reaction of me actually posting stuff that deviated from the stated purpose of being largely a log for my essays. I eventually drew in more aspects of myself while this blog became more academic with each topical post at the same time, so now you have posts about memes, slutty music, and frenemies sitting side by side with discussions of war, militarization, and tech criticism. I often chuckle at this mix of things. So what is this space? I guess it’s whatever I am now. It exists to motivate me to write more about things I’m passionate about. It’s also a time capsule1 for me to see how I thought about…
