Blogroll
Here are a few blogs/newsletters/websites I regularly read that are worth your time.Part of making the web personal again is relying on each other for recommendations. As we collectively remake the internet, we can't be afraid to share what we like with our followers, friends, and families. This not only helps independent writers like myself reach new people, but it's also a way to take back power from the algorithms that try to control us.
What's the point of discussing how important individual recommendations are without making some of my own? Here are a few blogs/newsletters/websites I regularly read that are worth your time:
404 Media: Ghost enables fully independent journalism to thrive, and 404 Media is one of the new publications crushing it with tech coverage. The four-person team covers interesting angles you won't read anywhere else.

Bungalower: Every city needs a hyper-local news outlet. Here in Orlando, it's the Bungalower. If it's happening in a very specific part of town, these guys have it covered.
Candid: I read Candid to keep up with changing trends in the nonprofit and philanthropy sector.

Cerealously: The very first site I found with Kagi Small Web a few months ago was Cerealously. Now, it's a regular staple in my RSS feed. The site provides deep reviews of cereal. While it doesn't publish often, it's exactly the kind of stuff I love to read.

Citation Needed: Molly White is an advocate for the independent web and isn't afraid to speak truth to power. Citation Needed covers the scam industry of web3 and highlights the grifters making money off of the gullible.

Garbage Day: I don't always know what corner of the internet Garbage Day is covering, but I know it will be an interesting take.

Platformer: The OG of high-quality, independent tech journalism is none other than Platformer.
