i do not have the credentials of a philosopher or a humanist or any kind of formally-trained idea-maker, hence the “DIY” in the title. i also do not have ownership over all perspectives or experiences, and i welcome critique with the hope that said critique will be provided with respect and care for the human on my end of the keyboard.
i say a little bit more about my approach here in my ‘disclaimer’ blog post and on the about page. there’s certainly more to be said (about positionality, in particular), but for now i wanted to start instead of not starting.
all in all, thanks for being here, and i encourage everyone to consider ideas as DIY-able, with recognition of the fact that (metaphorically) DIYing a computer is going to take a little more expertise than DIYing a birdhouse.
