In your Web browser, of course. And not all of me; that'd be weird! You're using Firefox, right? You can catch up by email with 112 other folks, on a social network in the Meta, commonly known as Facebook, Threads, Blacksky in the Atmosphere or X, commonly known as Twitter as I continue to share and work on all things towards history, open digital technology, culture — and everything in between. I write essays of varying length; most recently I wrote "On the Notion of Shutting the Fuck up". I keep notes weekly and (near) daily links. Here's what I use on the regular.
Disquiet – Listening to culture. Playing with audio. Sounding out technology. Composing in code.
At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I tag on what books I may have finished reading. Knowing I’ll revisit my social media posts, I’ve found, serves as a positive and mellowing influence on my online 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.

I've been enjoying writing screenshot essays lately because they provide more depth than tweets while being easier to finish and share than blogs.To help with this, I built a little app that makes it easier to make nice looking ones: https://t.co/mybEawgwgFEnjoy! https://t.co/gMHUCMzRbL— Ian Vanagas (@IanVanagas) March 30, 2024

I learned a lot from @calabro.io's write-up of the recent Bluesky outage. So much that I was inspired to write my own post about his post: surfingcomplexity.blog/2026/04/12/thoughts-on-the-bl…
Thoughts on the Bluesky public incident write-up
surfingcomplexity.blogThis is probably one of the most important issues in terms of labor, tech, UX, etc that the Atmosphere needs to solve (decentralized moderation). I would invite people to pay attention to what the @blackskyweb.xyz team and its community are doing and take notes.
Tweet so good I printed it out and put it on my wall. I referred to it in a conference talk today @hypervisible.blacksky.app
