STORIES YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ 8-1-25
In my ongoing support and promotion of independent and nonprofit media on Bluesky, I decided to experiment with expanding that effort. As an editor for 15 years, I read, skim, and scroll through a lot of news sites daily. But I am a bit of an old head when it comes to online media. Having been chronically online for over 20 years, I fondly remember the days of scrolling through my RSS feeds (miss you, Google Reader), reading dozens of blog posts each day by very smart people on everything from pop culture to politics to personal diaries of interesting lives from folks I would never meet. I miss those days and what our media landscape has become.
