I write my journal in org-roam. It is a bulleted list of thoughts. It is read-only - noone can interact with it directly. (Though of course, people could annotate it with hypothesis, or something similar). It is not structured - you could not subscribe to items within it in a feed reader, say. It is public, and is thus filtered - despite the name, I don’t put much personal or intimate things in this public journal.

I could refer to my journal as my Zettelkasten homepage, where all the new notes are posted. I call mine daily notes.

I publish to my stream via micropub and WordPress, and syndicate it to Mastodon. My stream allows for comments and interactions.

My stream is my blog.

What goes in my stream is generally a subset of my journal. But responses to comments in my stream are not necessarily included in my journal. (Though likely pulled in to my garden in the relevant place.)

I guess my journal is narrative, my stream is dialogic.

That’s a pretty cool idea that the journal is the narratuve, the stream is the dialogic.

I have other journaling styles though, depending on the source of information. 2025-01-17_18-31
