+## It's all here
+
+I'm getting older, and sites I've been creative on are dying or becoming marketing platforms, so I'm gradually moving all my historical posts on other platforms to this blog.
+
+* I'm [no fan of instagram](/posts/goodbye-big-social) these days, but all my 📸&nbsp;[archived insta posts](/instagram-posts) are right here.
+* For a good few years I wrote 📝&nbsp;[poetry](/poetry) and kept it online — now stored here for your giggles and my cringe.
 
 ## Words and writing
 
-* I created a word to fill a hole in the vocabulary I had to describe my _miriscient_ friends. Read or listen to 📖[the story right here](/posts/miriscience).

 ## Art and Creativity
 
-* As I travel I like to take 30 second video clips of the peaceful places. I visit the 🧘‍♂️[site I made for them](http://30s.byjp.me/) when I want to relax for a moment.

 ## Postcards
