Welcome! I'm Jacob (aka beautifulthorns, aka Conflux), and this is my blog about whatever I happen to be enthusiastic about.

There's no schedule, though I wrote a post every week from February 2019 to July 2020. I don't know if I stand by all of my old politics opinions, but I'm still proud of most of what I wrote. My best blog posts are located in the Curated section, so I recommend everyone start there! However, for the newest stuff, all you need to do is scroll down. 

Besides this blog, I also release puzzles every two weeks at Puzzles for Progress, and have published a puzzle book!

Enjoy! If you subscribe below, I'll email you when new posts come out.
