Social media is a dumpster fire. BlueSky is increasingly anxiety inducing. Facebook is essentially hell on earth. Mastodon is OK but the social fractures are really something else.
So, I’m trying to spend more time posting here instead of there. And putting up more photos, too—See my revamped page here—because what’s the point if no one sees them? I’ll still use the autopost feature on BlueSky and Mastodon so people can find me, I guess. And some interactions still can’t be replaced so I’m not going cold turkey.
And I also want to follow more interesting blogs via RSS. So, while you’re here, throw me some good ones to follow. I’m into books (reading, writing, and analyzing), photography, horror, philosophy, folklore, and sometimes random stuff that surprises even me. Comment me, baby. Let me know what you’re reading! And if you’ve got a blog, give me that sweet, sweet RSS feed.
Let’s do this.

It’s a bit outside of the themes of your post but A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry is a very good blog on history in popular culture (and just history in general)

Also, it doesn’t post frequently but Zompist has some interesting posts on fiction and non-fiction books (and other stuff)

I only really follow mystery blogs, theinvisibleevent.com, classicmystery.blog, and moonlight-detective.blogspot.com. And Obviously Ho-Ling Wong’s blog. I also have one.
I have heard Substack is a very controversial company that pushes far-right content in its algorithms, so I would steer clear of anything hosted there. I have no idea how WordPress is as a company, but I have yet to hear anything bad.

Thank you! Sorry for not noticing your current sooner, but I think all the urls tripped a spam filter.
