I promise not to do this often

“This” being a blog post that’s more of a test than an actual blog post. Even though this is kind of an actual post, because I’m talking about posting. Or rather, my lack thereof.

See, writing a blog is hard. I mean, in my head it’s hard. I have to think. And then think some more. And then actually write. Or rather, type. And format. And then rewrite it all because it’s probably bad. And then… and then… and then I’ve lost interest, so I don’t actually post.

But maybe if I found a way to lower the barrier a little bit. Something like, say, posting by email. Where all I have to do is pull out whatever device is closest to me that has a keyboard (more on this later) and start typing, and at some point, hit send.

Then through the magic of the series of tubes that is the internet, you’ll see this. And point and laugh like Nelson from The Simpsons. But better you to point and laugh at my ramblings than my dick, I suppose. Which you won’t be able to do here because this is strictly text only–no pics, no dicks. Check out my Mastodon or Bluesky for that, probably.

And this concludes our test of the Emergency Blogcast System. Had this been an actual emergency, this post probably would have included my dick. Or at least my chest.

No, definitely my dick.

Switching things up

As part of my effort to clean up my online presence a bit, my blog has moved from @[email protected] to @jay … I believe you’ll have to re-follow me if you were following my blog before.

Sure, I wasn’t ever posting anything here, but partly that was because I didn’t like how I had the hosting set up previously. And I just have had too many things in too many places. Along with relocating my blog, I’m also going to plan on shutting down my PixelFed and PeeerTube instances as they are really overkill for what I need. Which is a place to be able to keep pics and videos that I feel are important or interesting or otherwise just need to waste some bits on the internet. And that’s here, on my blog. So follow me here. Of course, I’ll always be retooting my blog posts from my Mastodon account, which isn’t changing.

Here goes nothing

Seriously. Nothing at all. Because I have nothing to say right now, other than I am testing out WordPress with this ActivityPub plugin that will allow people to follow my so-called blog directly from Mastodon. Or wherever else in the Fediverse. In theory, anyway.

Does anyone even blog anymore? I mean, aside from the medium or substack or whatever posts, which are really just for people who have newsletters, right? To subscribe to them, and pay for them. Like, people get attention and become popular and make money for things that don’t involve taking their shirts–and pants–off? Weird. Maybe I should look into that more.

Oh, I guess that’s kind of what I’m doing here by writing something. But no one will pay for this. No one will probably even read this. I guess I should stick a shirtless pic in just so anyone will even pay attention to it.

You’re welcome.
