A place where I share my values.
I’ve long liked sharing my thoughts but want a place that is mine to hold them. I plan to mostly post quick notes or what I’m calling postcards whenever I feel like it, and likely syndicate those out to @mcl@zarus.me and mclazarus.bsky.social. The articles and backstage posts will be less frequent but I hope to keep them higher quality.
There are the following types of posts you’ll find on here:

Slipper Guy
When I was home all the time because of the vid I turned into a slipper guy. A big part of this was I work in the basement which just has a concrete floor. Also I could take the trash out. Plus the whole Mister Rogers thing of coming into the house swapping the jacket for a sweater and the dress shoes for tennis shoes is appealing. But I will add now sitting in the lounge putting my feet up on the adjacent chair in just socks is also lit.
