A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes. I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Even my focused blogs don't work. People prefer re-posting memes and monetizing rage; AI pictures of people and flowers instead of the real thing [reality]. It's the age we live in... sadly. Newsfeed is a good option. A short blogette for those who want soundbites with a link for those who want more. ... Lost in the night, feel the bedbugs bite and the mosquitoes buzz. Lost in nightmares, angst and regrets, trapped in [dying for] what never was. |
