I'm taking a break from using Mastodon. The experience here has been less-than-great the past few weeks, and I am tired of this cycle repeating.

In an effort to stay in touch, I've launched a newsletter at veronicaexplains.net. Future blog posts will go there as well.

I explain more in the inaugural post: https://veronicaexplains.net/launching-ghost-on-new-domain/

I have also turned on ActivityPub for this blog, you can follow it at @veronicaVeronica Explains (via Ghost).

Veronica Explains launches new website/newsletter!

My website is now using Ghost instead of WordPress, and that means you can get me in your inbox. Everyone loves emails, right?
