well good news - i got a fucking

if you don't get the confirmation email, check your spam folder.

it's gonna be intermittently updated - my current plan is to put things like print releases, significant medium to long form writing, photos i feel good about, and so on. the sort of thing i would put Effort into for cohost, y'know. also any other sites i end up joining down the road.

if you've liked my creative work, this will be the most reliable and concentrated place to get it.

the walgreens fridge tv died, and tvs are opaque so now it's physically impossible to tell what's inside the fridge

the employees have taken photographs of the fridge's contents, printed them on the largest paper they can get out of the photo-printer kiosk, and fucking taped them to the screen

over the next few months about half of these died. Rather than going completely black they just played ads on loop, never displaying drinks, and the employees taped "cooler out of order" signs over them. So it seems like the actual fridge part died somehow, and you just couldn't buy milk or alcohol from walgreens for most of the summer lol

eventually they addressed this by buying portable coolers with regular doors and double-parking them IN FRONT of the broken ones, halving the navigable aisle space. You can see the tvs are still turned on, entombed behind the new fridges

(also you can see the dead one with the printed food photos, still unchanged after several months)

but then

There isn't anything I know of equivalent to Cohost and without Cohost I'm simply going to post less and stop posting certain kinds of content. I cannot trust Tumblr. I don't really trust bluesky and it only lets me post 300 characters at a time. Mastodon is like trying to hold a tea party in the middle of a busy stroad and also it only lets me post 500 characters at a time. I have a personal Wordpress, which I guess I could move my longform content to, but I hate interacting with it and also I have never, since 2007, figured out how to get people to look at it.

My most popular post here was an introduction to WebGPU. I'm about 78% done with a sequel which is a tutorial. Do I bother finishing it? If it's on a personal blog will anyone read it? (If you are considering replying with "I'd read it!" this is not helpful, because I probably won't believe you. How would you even find it?)

Tons of thanks and sympathy to the Cohost dev team for holding all this on their backs the whole time. 🙁 🙁 But also like, fuck
