The Whats
Without
Writing that strips things down and looks at what remains.
“What is the thing without its name? Without its history? Without the weight of expectation?”
The questions behind everything written here.
The Blog
The Whats Withoutis a blog with one habit: take a thing, remove what everyone assumes about it, and look at what's left.
Sometimes the thing is an everyday object. Sometimes it's a framework everyone takes for granted. The subject changes; the habit doesn't.
The puzzles at the end of each article? Those are for playing with the words you just read. A small reward for getting to the end.

Writes the articles. Makes the puzzles.
I write to understand. Every article here starts as a question I can't shake, the kind that nags until I sit down and work it out on the page. What ends up here is the working-out.
