Russell's writing.

I have written a lot of things over the years. But a lot of it has been lost to the sands of time, or was released anonymously so that I could never get credit for it. Now I'm trying to collect some stuff I've written into one place, for whoever is curious to read it. I've learned that, in a world of hungry egos, releasing all your writing anonymously means it's difficult to gain traction in putting your theory into practice, because you're busy dodging the fact that those are your theories...

However, I won't regret releasing things anonymously, either. Although it can make it difficult or impossible to relate to your ideas irl without revealing your identity, and although the whole concept of releasing things anonymously will be dashed by my attempt to now collect all that writing into one place under my irl handle, it still makes the point of solidarity with all people when you release writing without identity. I will probably continue to do both.

I welcome you to direct any praise, critique, or conversation to russellj@tuta.io
