previously blog posts were build once when you write a new one rather than each time you build the site (like the other pages) this made it really annoying to change anything about the header and footer layot this commit fixes that

<p>i'm thinking about something but i don't know what yet</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i'm thinking about how computing cuts across my life in so many ways</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i'm thinking about how for me it is so deeply political, and also my 9-5</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i'm thinking about how self-hosting is often framed as a "hobbyist" activity. i think that i hate this</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>a hobby has no teeth, no obvious politic. computing defines our entire reality and its political economy is wretched. and how Doing It Yourself is a meaningful way to push against that wretched thing we've been given</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>there is a book called Palo Alto that i think i need to read</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i've been talking to a lover a lot about music recently, about folk punk and by extension diy culture. i don't want "self hosting" do be a "tech hobbyist" activity. i want it to be the local diy music scene that saves people's lives and grounds us in shared creation and ownership</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i also want it to change the world but i hate to admit that, it feels naive and arrogant and impossible</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>it obviously is naive and arrogant and impossible, taken on its own without other actions. i believe that for sure</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>she's the one who told me about Palo Alto</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i have felt Compelled To Post this last week and i've not been able to focus it anywhere. this feels good</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i'm going to step away for a moment</p>
