Happy Birthday, Notes from Self!

This blog turned two three days ago and I have been so busy, I didn’t even quite notice. It all began in 2013 with this post in response to an open letter from MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry to Edward Snowden which I thought was a bit daft.

Much has happened since then. Just today, the Guardian reports that the UK’s high court has overturned last year’s DRIP legislation which, for once, is good surveillance news.

This blog has been a lot quieter of late than it used to be, mostly because I have a lot of projects going on that take up time and attention. Notes from Self was a significant first step on the way to these projects and I fully intend to keep it going. So I will keep writing (albeit less frequently) about whatever captures my particular attention – usually things that annoy me.

Thank you for reading and keep watching this space!

P.S.: If you have a moment, do take a look at the Freedom of the Press Foundation’s campaign for Chelsea Manning’s defense fund. #SupportWhistleblowers
