Scratch Pad: ISP, Symbol, Books

I do this manually at the end of each week: collating most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I also find knowing I will revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.

Writing-wise, I again had a quite productive week, which may be reflected in my simultaneously limited amount of social media posting:
