About I’ve Ben Thinking

I’ve Ben Thinking (IBT) is a blog from me, Ben Testani. I attempt to post once per week and cover a wide variety of topics, sometimes from a leftist perspective.

I am the sole writer and editor of IBT, and I take full ownership of all mistakes. I am grateful to those of you who point out typos. My sister is specially eagle-eyed!

I started IBT for two reasons. One is because I was tired of thinking to myself “I could do that” whenever I read a great blog post or watched an informative YouTube video and wanted to prove to myself that yes, I could do that. The second reason is that writing is fun. This project was launched in December of 2020.

All of my posts to date have been free, but I have added a paywall to my archives. Upgrading to a paid subscription helps fund my work, as I occasionally incur paid costs like translation services or records requests in the course of researching and compiling my posts.

As Seen On

I first wrote publicly for my university’s student newspaper, The Observer, and will be forever grateful to the paper’s editors for kick-starting my passion for writing.
