I’ve been writing some blog posts for the last few months but not crossposting them anywhere. I really just wanted to get some thoughts out of my head but not into a journal.

I’ve been intending to crosspost for some time but as inevitably happens, I was distracted fiddling with the settings rather than actually writing. So enough is enough, time to stop tinkering and pondering is this colour better than the other one, time to write something and hit publish.

I’ve seen others using Pika so decided to look into it and turns out it’s just what I needed. A platform I can write without being distracted by a timeline. Minimal settings to distract me.

To take directly from the About page of this blog:

I had a domain I wasn’t using for its original purpose.

I wanted a place to write longer thoughts where I didn’t see the noise of a timeline to distract me.

I tend to see something happen or read something written by someone else which sparks my thinking.

So here I am on Pika with Nothing Original Here.

Today was to get me started, get one down, and then looking at a sole solitary post will hopefully prompt me to write more and increase the list.

I think I’ve set up crossposting the way I want it using the excellent Echofeed so maybe you’ll see this appear in your timeline somewhere. Fingers crossed it’s not a mangled mess of formatting!
