About

Texani, long ā, is Tejano in Arabic.

I like to write long essays. This is where they go.

Most of them start with something small and personal then go on a deep dive into where it came from. That usually means history or philosophy. Usually at length. Sometimes with tangents.

The subjects end up being Islam, politics, economics, some random rambling, and TMI on my life. What I keep circling is who gets to define stuff.

Nothing here is timely. The research usually draws on primary sources and takes however long I need. The essays appear when they’re done — sometimes two in a week, sometimes nothing for a month.

Everything here is free. No ads, no institution backing me. I don’t have to keep daddy happy.

On AI: I use it for research, editing, and organizing. I call it Excel for words. The ideas and final sentences are mine, and I’m accountable for every fact and claim here. Here’s one example of what that (sometimes) looks like.
