Back after a fifteen year hiatus

 2/1/2026 

I'm restarting this blog after fifteen years, inspired by Graham Hamilton, and a recent introduction to the late Lauren Berlant's Supervalent Thought, excerpts of which were published in Art and Order Journal.

I don't know how to describe the last decade and a half in-brief but here are a few little details: 

1. I don't live in Baltimore anymore, I left for Chicago in 2014.
2. I still live in Chicago. 
3. I have been a lecturer at art schools for the last five years; with a one time stint as a private school English teacher. 
4. I've been married for six years. 
5. I have managed to survive while pursuing art. 
6. I have published writing elsewhere, and will republish what I can on this blog. 
7. We live in a time of generative AI, which use what is called large language modeling to create text. That's right, computers systems are being programmed to simulate human neurology. It produces what George Orwell called "newspeak."    

The past posts won't be edited much or at all, though I may add a photo for reference here and there. I'm not sure yet, it seems like my younger self had hoped to keep this entirely text based. My guess is that hyperlinks are fine but that I just hadn't thought about using them especially since a few entries are based on papers.
