"A blog is a beautiful thing, the least private form of diary, the sketchbook that is simultaneously a gallery, the social media that is slow enough that thoughts aren’t drowned out by noise and may instead foster long-lasting communication and collaboration.
But it is vulnerable to the enshittification and platform decay that we humans of the earliest part of the twenty-first century know all too well. But not books." - W.F. Smith
