Problem: I don't feel like writing here any more.

Or rather, there's nothing in my mind except politics, and I can't write about that here...or anywhere.

I could make all my posts completely private, but they would still be subject to monitoring by the government.

So I guess I'll have to wait and see. Later I'll probably have some safe non-political things to write, but even so, I am strongly inclined to make the posts for myself only. For some reason I no longer feel like sharing this stuff any more.

Which makes the whole thing kind of pointless, I guess. Since I'd be recording stuff for my eyes only (and for Sebastian) it would make more sense to simply encrypt it and keep it on my machine at home.

This is a different world, now. Openness is no longer safe.

What's most frightening of all is that this isn't just posturing; I really believe it. And there are already more than enough political articles out there with my name on them to put me away forever, if things go as I expect.

If I can come up with some politically safe personal crap to post, I'll probably do it.

But if I do, expect a lot more of it to be friends-only.
