  TWITTER HAS BEEN BOUGHT, and will become, presumably, Elonian, meaning heroic, disorganised, and centred on the self-image of its owner above any function. As it, and other highly-centralised social media ‘places’ appear to be at inflection points of utility, perhaps we can find other smaller and disaggregated places to be.

  I post at aus.social, put pictures up at flickr, and at instagram (though rarely). And I aim to blog here more frequently…

• Much Time And Little To Do

  WHEN I STARTED THIS blog in 2011 I had recently been made redundant, and was retraining completely to enter a new field. Little did I know then that the stretch of unemployment and underemployment I was about to go through would be a lot longer than I expected. Even less did I consider the mental health implications of being so far from the world of regular routine work. The time has come again, though perversely, for the moment I’m still in a full-time job; social distancing (which is experienced by every jobseeker) has a way of turning into social isolation, and from isolation to exclusion.

  Thankfully we have some literary practices left from the old world to guide us into the new. Get a blog.

• Trove

  I HAVE BEEN INFORMED that this blog is now officially archived by the National Library of Australia and is accessible in trove.

  I am both honoured, and ashamed of this, my own personal crime against the national heritage.

  You’re probably also wondering about the odd title for this blog…
