the DeerBlog
i write about many things; from anything as serious as commentary on politics, transmisogyny, and community dynamics, to posts and guides about my experiences with technology, being queer, and my creative processes, to lighthearted updates about my personal life.
the box to the right directly mirrors the feed .xml file on my website. the section below, however, just acts as a file directory for all the .dtf files on here. they both accomplish the same task of showing you all my posts; the directory is more accurate, while the feed displays tags and descriptions too.
every post before September 2024 has been archived from my feed on cohost. this mostly includes longform posts and other writings. since the site is being shut down, i would like these posts to be readable somewhere, which is why they're here now!
