"second wind"
Putting the finishing touches on my latest Socialized Recluse episode, a conversation with Liam Wong, and it got me to thinking about this passage from Václav Havel’s December 1976 essay, “Second Wind,” a passage which got me through my own period of silence – and is jumping to the forefront yet again – not only in my conversation with Liam, but in my work:

After much back and forth and many 404s, I’ve finally landed on how I’m moving forward with this space in the post-Muskville era.
First, this section, formerly blog, is now “notebook” – which makes it, to me at least, feel even more informal than it used to be. Everything will go through this page: Mastodon updates, etc, simply because I like having a central brainsilo for my day. This replaces efforts with Micro.blog, love it as I do: it was simpler to bend Squarespace to my will than attempt to retrofit this space for Micro.
More to come, but I’m quite happy with how this is working out.
