Thanks to a pointer from Leah, I’ve discovered a brand new blogger who is trying to write about her experiences with surviving incest. I hope she continues and I wish her much sucess!
OK, ok, I admit it, I’ve been a slacker when it comes to this site. I’ve been extremely busy at work, and extremely busy with holiday stuff that I simply haven’t really had time to think any deep thoughts that would be appropriate for this blog. I’ve been completely preoccupied with technolgy-related thoughts. Of course,…
So here it goes, switching the weblog over to the other host so I can continue using FTP to get to it. I realize now that I haven’t been writing here much, I guess I’m just not really having any big abuse issues that are worth discussing. In some ways that’s an excellent thing, but…
Tomorrow I get to do something that, according to statistics, is one of the things adult survivors of sexual abuse dread the most. I have to have some dental work done.

Pin You are my online community, and while your numbers might not be as large as the number of followers I had on other platforms, I’m not worried about how this platform will change and become dangerous to any of you.

There are no shareholders to be beholden to, no one tracking you, no ads. There’s nothing here but one guy reminding you all that you are not alone.
