Not everything on this page was originally written for it. A key example of that are my [tweets](?valeradhd), most of which I posted from 2020-2022. I like to put these writings here as well, but I feel like it's something slightly more intentional than standard *reposting*. I've decided to continue the garden metaphor with *repotting*, which alludes to the thought process behind it. 

I downloaded all of my old tweets, but they're not in a format that makes it convenient to quickly transfer them to this site. The text is separate from the media, and the media is all compressed. Rather than try to automate this in some way (something which is very tempting just to solve a problem), I decided to approach it from a different angle. I like going through my old things--it reminds me of who I was, and the cool stuff I've done before. When [repotting](?repotting), I keep as much of the original content and format as I can--see my [twitter conversation](?twitter__tweets__12_30_31_2020) about a voxel engine I once made--while still transferring it to the style of this site. I'm going through and manually copying the text, searching through my old hard drives for the original images, and collecting them into one place. It's extremely satisfying. The *gardener's notes* are a way of sharing a part of that process--both my thoughts while doing it and the larger context of the media.

Maybe I'll eventually repot other things I've scattered around the internet. I'm not sure what, but I quite enjoy the process.
