New Blog (a.k.a. Cutting My Losses)

I lost administrative access to my this blog some time ago. I can still write new posts as a Contributor, but I cannot update settings or make any other changes to it and have failed to break into my old Administrator account despite my best efforts, so I am cutting my losses and starting fresh.

I guess this old blog will remain on the interwebz in perpetuity, so posts prior to 2021 can still be found here, but everything new going forward will be housed at Emmy Girl's Garden.
