Since I [moved this site to Hugo](https://esotericbullshit.net/what%27s-this-%28and-how-it-works%29/), I've been using an app called GitJournal to post from my phone. I have a beautiful desk setup with a clacky mechanical keyboard that's a joy to write on, but the simple fact is that I'm a lazy shit and want to update my blog from the couch. It's all mostly worked fine, with some headaches. I originally intended to use GitJournal to store my Github repo to my phone's filesystem and then point an Obsidian[^1] vault at that.

Unfortunately, GitJournal currently [cannot store the repo](https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues/925) in the Android filesystem due to a permissions issue, so I can't use it with Obsidian. GitJournal's note-taking app is serviceable, but again, I want to use Obsidian. I've been making-do with GitJournal for a few months now — for once in my life, not fixing what's broken — operating under the assumption that there were no other options.

Welcome to cassie.ink, the new home of my blog and web stuff.
Previously, this blog was hosted at bearblog under the domain cassie.land. Now, I'm using the SSG Hugo to create the site, which deploys to Github Pages for hosting.

I [tried out doing monthly media logs](https://esotericbullshit.net/tags/media-log/) and found it difficult to stick to; it became daunting to log everything, and I put the unnecessary onus on myself to also write down detailed thoughts on everything. I'm going to try out shorter weekly notes instead. I want to have a record of and reflect on things that are important to me, so the effort matters, but perhaps this will be easier to maintain.[^1] I'm hoping to use this space to share out blog posts and other web content that I've enjoyed, too.

# Doing
* I **redesigned my bearblog** from scratch. It's not much different than what I had before, but it's a dramatically simpler stylesheet. I'm also loading the css from a server and embedding that within bearblog, which means I can use my preferred app (VSCodium) to write the code and bypass the bearblog editor.[^2]

* I did not have time for reading this week, but I'm so close to finishing **_The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating_**, and I intend to start **_Into the Wild_** next.
* I loved [grubz's post about coming out](https://blog.grubz.net/2024/10/why-even-come-out-if-youre-bi-or-pan). I have [written on a similar subject here before](https://esotericbullshit.net/coming-out/), although their post has me also thinking about how the performance of gender roles in my relationship is, in many ways, queer.

* At a district-wide conference day, different teams delivered a training I helped develop. It's something I have been pushing for since March of 2021. In many ways, it feels like a culmination of that journey — though I feel mixed about how our administration has behaved about it — but I'm also trying to view it as just another step forward. We have so much more to do.

<p>I am now using <a href="https://github.com/ViscousPot/GitSync">GitSync</a>. It&rsquo;s dead simple: you sign in with your Github account, select the repo you want to clone to your device, and that&rsquo;s it. Critically for me, however, it has a setting to automatically sync the repo when you open and close certain apps — for me, Obsidian.</p>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Since I &lt;a href=&#34;https://esotericbullshit.net/what%27s-this-%28and-how-it-works%29/&#34;&gt;moved this site to Hugo&lt;/a&gt;, I&amp;rsquo;ve been using an app called GitJournal to post from my phone. I have a beautiful desk setup with a clacky mechanical keyboard that&amp;rsquo;s a joy to write on, but the simple fact is that I&amp;rsquo;m a lazy shit and want to update my blog from the couch. It&amp;rsquo;s all mostly worked fine, with some headaches. I originally intended to use GitJournal to store my Github repo to my phone&amp;rsquo;s filesystem and then point an Obsidian&lt;sup id=&#34;fnref:1&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;#fn:1&#34; class=&#34;footnote-ref&#34; role=&#34;doc-noteref&#34;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; vault at that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&#34;https://esotericbullshit.net/tags/media-log/&#34;&gt;tried out doing monthly media logs&lt;/a&gt; and found it difficult to stick to; it became daunting to log everything, and I put the unnecessary onus on myself to also write down detailed thoughts on everything. I&amp;rsquo;m going to try out shorter weekly notes instead. I want to have a record of and reflect on things that are important to me, so the effort matters, but perhaps this will be easier to maintain.&lt;sup id=&#34;fnref:1&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;#fn:1&#34; class=&#34;footnote-ref&#34; role=&#34;doc-noteref&#34;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; I&amp;rsquo;m hoping to use this space to share out blog posts and other web content that I&amp;rsquo;ve enjoyed, too.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p>I loved <a href="https://blog.grubz.net/2024/10/why-even-come-out-if-youre-bi-or-pan">grubz&rsquo;s post about coming out</a>. I have <a href="https://esotericbullshit.net/coming-out/">written on a similar subject here before</a>, although their post has me also thinking about how the performance of gender roles in my relationship is, in many ways, queer.</p>

<p>At a district-wide conference day, different teams delivered a training I helped develop. It&rsquo;s something I have been pushing for since March of 2021. In many ways, it feels like a culmination of that journey — though I feel mixed about how our administration has behaved about it — but I&rsquo;m also trying to view it as just another step forward. We have so much more to do.</p>

<p>Welcome to esotericbullshit.net, the new home of my blog and web stuff.</p>
<p>Welcome to cassie.ink, the new home of my blog and web stuff.</p>
<p>Previously, this blog was hosted at bearblog under the domain cassie.land. Now, I&rsquo;m using the SSG Hugo to create the site, which deploys to Github Pages for hosting.</p>
<p><strong>So why the move?</strong> I love bearblog and recommend it to just about anyone who wants to get into blogging and the small web — it&rsquo;s dead simple for folks with no web expertise, it has an awesome community, and the discover page allows you to share your content and connect with folks also using the platform. Unfortunately, I am, at heart, a tinkerer — bearblog felt a little <em>too</em> easy, and a little limiting for some of the visions I have. And, ultimately, I just want to <strong>own my content</strong> and <strong>embrace new technologies and challenges</strong>.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m committed to pushing myself to blog because I love writing and want to do it more. I keep a physical journal for my more private thoughts and neuroses (affectionately nicknamed my &ldquo;little fucking diary&rdquo;), but I also think there&rsquo;s value in creating a public log of what I&rsquo;m doing, what I&rsquo;m into, what I&rsquo;m thinking. I have a complicated relationship with the internet and probably spend way too much time on it, but I love to be online and connect with other like-minded people. Blogging — and blogging in a space that I own and control and can set boundaries with — feels like the healthiest way to do that.</p>
