I found myself nodding along to so much of this. Small discords with people I enjoy have absolutely been my sanctuary lately, even though it bothers me sometimes that it doesn't leave a mark on the open web. I feel like I don't exist visibly to a lot of people I care about until I resurface to post something.
(I should spend more time building a website...)
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about it! The park vs. garden aspect of it... the different feelings and ways of communicating depending on whether we're in a semi-private or public space. So true.
Absolutely let's talk more (and in more ways) in 2025! (I've got more jam stuff I need to finish so I should probably tunnel on that until the end of the year...) I'm excited to see what you're working on.
Happy new year! Happy deck month!
