OK, looks like the setup is stable enough now that I can call this the official first post.
hi! welcome to the tildeblog. this is my official return to blogging after a several-year hiatus which saw me mostly focused on getting disillusioned with most of the big social media sites on the, uh, "big web" I guess we're going to call it, and beginning to explore smaller, more fun spaces that are a little gentler, less overbearing, and more human-sized. welcome to the "small web".
in case you don't know me from before, i used to have a few blogs. the main one was doberman pizza, which ended up being one of the earliest and longest-running Bahá'í blogs on the web. the other big one was baha'i children's class ideas, where I wrote about my experiences teaching moral and character education classes for children in different communities. I stopped due to being busy with IRL stuff, but lately I've been missing it, so here's a new thing to play with.
there's a lot to talk about, but today's not the day for that. for now, just take a few seconds to explore. there'll be more posts in the future that are way more interesting and informative than this one.
