URGENT: Moving blog to Substack! Still using "akinokure"

 I can't explain in detail now, but Google's tech incompetence / malice had temporarily locked me out of the Blogger dashboard and comments section. That's why I've been MIA here for a week. Fortunately I found a work-around, but I don't know how long that will last. It was nothing ideological or anything like that, purely technical, but it was insanely malicious, and I no longer have trust in Google to be a reliable guardian and steward of the Blogger / Blogspot platform.

So I am moving all blogging activities over to Substack -- same name as here, "akinokure":

https://akinokure.substack.com

I will do long-form blogging there, and they have a built-in micro-blogging feed called "Notes", which will replace my blogging in the comments section here.

I will also try to do long-term back-up of this blog at WordPress, "The Library of Akinokure":

https://libraryofakinokure.wordpress.com

That will not involve micro-blogging, or backing up random comments and observations -- the stuff that's really worth preserving. Possibly migrating the whole thing from here, over there, or maybe just a "greatest hits" compilation. We'll see.

These are all still somewhat up-in-the-air, but I have to leave this final message while I can still use this work-around. The pace will be the same over there as it has been here, depending on how inspired I am du jour.

But, it will be the same cliff-dwelling sage, the same location atop the Cliffs of Wisdom -- you'll just be taking an alternate route up the mountain. The Substack route, rather than the Blogspot route. It will still be me, and my charmingly eclectic ever-shifting range of topics! I will await you at the end of the Substack route up the mountain! ^_^
