UPDATE:

Due to logistical and admin challenges of keeping up with e-mails re: the Closed Circuit, this has been turned off entirely. Apologies in advance for non-responsiveness. There is no longer a Closed Circuit track.

Any password-protected posts you might see from here on out are posts of supplemental materials for courses, workshops, or presentations. The blog post method is just the easiest way for attendees of these classes to access the materials. I give them the password during the class, and then they go to the password-protected blog post to download the class-specific materials.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Leaving the original text for this post below in case anyone is interested in the historical context.]

I’ve been receiving a number of messages expressing confusion around the password-protected posts, so I hope this note will help clarify.

The post that went up yesterday titled “How to Survive Criticism and Pitchforks (2024 Day Planner Add-On)” is password-protected because it is for those who ordered the 2024 Day Planner Add-On, explained here. In short, it’s tradition that I offer an optional add-on to those who order the annual Metaphysician’s Day Planners. For 2024, it’s that password-protected post.

That post falls outside the scope of posts on my blog designated “Closed Circuit.” All closed circuit blog posts are archived here: https://benebellwen.com/category/closed-circuit/

For information on how to gain access to Closed Circuit blog posts, read here: https://benebellwen.com/2019/07/13/revisiting-why-there-is-a-closed-circuit/

However, not all password-protected posts are Closed Circuit posts. Therefore the password you get for the Closed Circuit posts will only work on Closed Circuit posts.

Thank you for your understanding,
