it was hot today
================

We've been  joking that living  in this new  house is like  sailing a
boat.  Which is  a funny  metaphor for  us to  have settled  on since
neither of us have hardly ever been on a boat, much less sailed one.

And yet.  We've seen  movies and  television and  read books.  And so
we  can  both imagine  the  bustle  to  respond quickly  to  changing
conditions. Raise and  hoist the mainsail! Batten  the hatches! Heave
ho! Hard to starboard!

And so it is here. On account of it being hot, and there being no air
conditioning, and  there being lots  of rooms and hallways  and doors
and such. Mornings and nights are  an exercise of opening windows and
doors, turning  on fans, bringing  in as  much cool air  as possible.
Then mid-morning, it's locking everything down and compartmentalizing
and trying to keep the hot out.

We did a pretty good job today. It stayed reasonably cool in the main
living areas.


new sites
=========

I launched two new blogs/sites this morning that I've been meaning to
launch for a while. Both on neocities, which I don't love, but it's
fine. I'll need to install one of the libraries that makes using the
API easier, because right now uploading files via the browser is
annoying.

But here they are:

1. Dozens And Dragons: a D&D/ttrpg blog for campaign notes and
   worldbuilding ideas.

   https://dozensanddragons.neocities.org

2. Society: the discrodian site I've been meaning to publish for
   *checks the edit history of that one google doc* literally 8
   years now.

   https://society.neocities.org

Depending on how this goes, this means I'm actively maintaining at
least five? different blogs. They're all very specific and niche to
their topic. But it makes me think and wonder about the fracturing of
the self. And I wonder about the merits, benefits, and dangers of
compartmentalizing. As opposed to creating a classical LiveJournal
style everything/nothing blog that includes and encompasses every
aspect and facet of ones life and ones interests.

What if I wrote one single blog that included professional articles,
dream logs, fantasy role play, political rants, religion and satire,
and random TIL essays? Is that even tolerable? Would that even be
enjoyable to read? Am I harming myself by endlessly
compartmentalizing and fracturing my interests and beliefs? Or am I
overthinking this all.

The only person I can think of who is doing something like this right
now is Cadey over at christine.website. They are all in and all out
there. Super professional / high tech posts, but also out with their
fursona, and also writing about zen, meditation, tarot, and rpg, etc.

*Integration* is what we're talking about here.
