Thinking out loud, except it's permanent and everyone's invited to judge.
means To publish a piece of writing, image, or message to a website or social platform where others can see it.
from From 'post,' rooted in Latin 'ponere' (to place) — a 'post' was originally a fixed stake or pole driven into the ground, which gave us 'to post' meaning to affix a notice to a physical post or wall (hence 'post a notice,' 'post bills'). The same word gave us 'postal,' via posts set along routes for relaying mail and messages. The internet simply moved the bulletin board indoors: by the era of message boards and forums, 'posting' meant pinning your words up where the whole town square could walk by and read them.
