This is a great idea that I’m going to file away for later:
I like the idea of redirecting
/now
to the latest post tagged asnow
so one could see the latest version of what I’m doing now.
Heartfelt congratulations to Remy on ten years of blogging.
More importantly, every single URL on my blog that’s ever been published still works, and even better than that (for me) is my archive showing off the decade of writing I’ve been producing over all this time 💪

I have a richer picture of the group of people in my feed reader than I did of the people I regularly interacted with on social media platforms like Instagram.
A blog post can be a plain text document uploaded to a server. It can be an image hosted on a social network. It can be a voice note shared with your friends.
Title, dates, comments, links, and text are all optional.
No one is policing this.
The most important lesson that blogging taught me is that writing is for thinking first, communication last.
If you care about the indie web growing, by all means write, by all means create, by all means curate. But most of all, just read. Or listen, or experience. Spend an afternoon clicking around, like everybody used to. The more people who do that, the more everything else will slot into place without even having to think much about it.
Serendipity is the best algorithm.
Updating my website with related posts and fixing link rot.
Mastodon is a vibe shift in the best possible way.
Also, tipblogging.
I’ve made a /feeds URL.
