Where this lives

Everything here is published in Offprint and stored as records in my own AT Protocol repository — the same repo that holds my Bluesky posts. This site is a renderer: it reads those records at build time and mirrors the images out of my PDS into plain files. Nothing of mine sits in a proprietary database, and I can point any other client at the same records.

The publication record is Stay Woke Gazette, declared at site.standard.publication. Each essay is one site.standard.document record, and each essay page carries a <link rel="site.standard.document"> back to its record so the two directions can be verified.

For machines, and for people

Every page is static HTML with structured data attached: articles declare their author, dates, word count and reading time; the site declares who publishes it and who it is for. There is an llms.txt and an llms-full.txt with the full text of the archive, a sitemap, and an RSS feed. AI crawlers are explicitly welcome in robots.txt.
