The day felt rather slow today, though not in a bad way. It felt like a deliberate, rather than reactive day. I've (literally) slowed down my metabolism (not eating so much right now) so this may be affecting my perception of stuff as more even paced and calm.

Reflexively, I've been avoiding news/media turning instead to long form things (e.g. books, detailed technical docs/website) as well as relatively direct chat through messaging apps and stuff—thankfully these aren't plastered with ads (yet?). ¹

Reading good, long-form content motivates me to take the time to write longer-form, better thought out posts than the stuff I'm pumping out here. Until we "return to normal" (provided that does happen, haha) I'll plan on making these entries, though afterwards I hope to make some longer and better researched pieces that are articulated in a more "future proof" way.
