My digital garden is failing to Spark Joy. https://t.co/fgJcybA3Fg

1ļøā£ the frustration of wanting to link to notes, but those notes not being ready yet https://t.co/g64eUm0m9S

then i go try to make those ready, or am frustrated those donāt exist, or so forth twitter was a database that was public by default. my digital garden in obsidian is trying to connect to a database thatās private https://t.co/nb33RK3H5f

2ļøā£ the confusion of what style to write in hard for me to say the problem directly, but thereās a gap between 1. blog post meant for others to read, a long nice ride 2. internal note jotted for me and digital garden notes occupy that very uncomfortably https://t.co/gmPkp8mseV

3ļøā£ okay, i might have actually gotten to the crux of the problem here only took like three attempts the reason im struggling and thrashing around is i didnāt have a /norm/ for the digital garden a sense of participation in some real https://t.co/Y0YpRvVmjP

noticing something hereā when i wanted to write note on phenomenology, i did so in the context of something real: wanting to share it with a group that made it worthwhile, it imposed a norm on it, it made presenting it narratively make sense https://t.co/gmPkp8mseV

to exist within a pattern of circulation norms an activity, it brings sense to it how to write, to what degree to edit, all that begins making sense, guided by something instead of becoming increasingly unhinged and guidanceless https://t.co/I9YJC5LKlp

my rule, or suggestion to myself, here is - if i want to share a certain thought, write it, and share it out on twitter immediately, or with a person thatās what prompted me to make https://t.co/0z107pbLoP in the first place, and it is a lovely flow https://t.co/vBYQ7PEiSr

so hereās the rule: - feel free to write notes in my digital garden - but if do, do it either with the idea in mind of sharing it with a specific person, or with sharing it to twitter immediately this creates that audience and a sense of participation in the real
