The Internet Used to Have Rooms
Feeds are weather. Rooms had doors. I miss knowing which room I was in, and who might still be sitting on the floor.
Notes
Essays, fragments, satire, lists, internet thoughts. Satire does not get its own wing. It just shows up wearing a tag.

Eleven days. Not productivity. A private refusal to decide. The title in the toolbar has become a roommate.
The button says Continue. It does not say toward what. Friendliness is a costume the product wears so you will not notice the room has no exits.
A list of tasks I tried to turn into a system, until I realized the point of them was that they were slightly inconvenient.
A taxonomy nobody asked for. Click a spinner to promote it. Taste is a contact sport.
The rain against the glass made a sound like quiet typing. I wrote in the margins of a book I was not reading.
