      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a list of interesting <strong>tags</strong> that I use or intend to use within this space.</em></p>

<h2 id="high-level-tags">High Level Tags:</h2>

<p><em>Larger structures describing the <strong>kinds</strong> of writing on this blog.</em></p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:essay" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">essay</span></a>
A piece exploring an idea, enough to make a point.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:longform" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">longform</span></a>
A longer piece that digs into an idea at some level of depth. May or may not be an essay or a form of poetry.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:linkvomit" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">linkvomit</span></a>
Somewhere between an essay, a bulleted-list, and poetry – Usually consists of a collection links where they simultaneously explain a narrative, but also use the links as part of the narrative structure.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:poetry" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">poetry</span></a>
<em>“ab·strac·tion”</em> – Explorations of ideas but in the form of various kinds of poetry.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:metaphor" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">metaphor</span></a>
<em>“re·ca·pit·u·lation”</em> – Ideas explained with other ideas.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:draft" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">draft</span></a>
<em>“i·dea vom·it”</em> – Something that got to the point of being somewhat publishable despite not being a complete idea. Usually its because I don&#39;t see an easy way to wrap up the idea and it&#39;s been incubating too long.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:archive" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">archive</span></a>
<em>“void”</em> – Older content that I&#39;ve put here to reference, but not really something I consider featured.</p>

<h2 id="areas-of-exploration">Areas of Exploration</h2>

<p><em>Tags that describe various <strong>interests</strong> and <strong>topics</strong> commonly explored in this space.</em></p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:politics" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">politics</span></a>
<em>“copro·phage”</em> – Explorations on political topics, usually it is meta-political, but occasionally there are bits of actual politics.
* I consider this tag to be an <a href="https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Information_Hazard">infohazard</a> due to potential for triggering arguments. Tread with an open mind.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:ants" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">ants</span></a>
<em>“jag·lav·ak”</em> – Anything about ants because I love ants.</p>

<p><a href="https://scat.wovensoup.com/tag:microbe" class="hashtag"><span>#</span><span class="p-category">microbe</span></a>
Explorations of the microbiome and related.</p>

<h2 id="research-interests">Research Interests</h2>

<p><em>Particularly focused explorations on a topic that could be considered part of the same narrative corpus, I consider these to be akin to <a href="https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Sequences">“<strong>sequences</strong>“</a>, but as unordered sets vs of ordered lists</em></p>
