And I’m back!

Is it that my posts are bad? Or, is it that I rarely post? Nah. It must be that I’m a horrible person; that must be it.

I notice that I lose more followers with every post I make. Was at 40 and now I’m at 36.

I’ve only been on here for a few weeks and I can see how the feed is changing as more people add themselves.
Used to be a little more weird.

I have three writing projects to work on over the summer, each in different stages. Part of me is excited and optimistic while a creeping, growing anxiety that I won’t meet my self-imposed deadlines is taking over the other part of me.

I appreciate that my posts feel as inconsequential here as they do elsewhere on social media.

ArXiv is very exciting but I do struggle with how much instant credibility some folks seem to be giving the work popping up on that site. The peer review process ain’t perfect, but less oversight doesn’t seem to be the answer.

This is new.
Not sure what to do.
