  This is really only relevant to you if you know what tilde.town is, but you ought to go find out if you don't.

  the satyrs' forest (xanthe)
  Xanthe has one of the coolest personal sites around. Click around different parts even if you're not in it for the content; they've done up each page in a way worth seeing.

  You know Parimal from Rediscovering the Small Web. Check out his much more tasteful use of nostalgic web elements.

  Still Drinking (Peter Welch)
  You've read Coding Sucks, but his writing is all pretty fantastic and deserves much more attention.

  The Shatner Chatner
  I still miss the Toast even though I know it had to die. This isn't it, for a lot of reasons, but I treasure what remains. Sometimes he absolutely knocks it out of the park, and sometimes not, so sample his fiction to get a better sense first.

  She writes about life and illness and many things in quiet, thoughtful ways.

  cinni’s blog
  Cinni of cinni.net, but here blogging. Personal writing, tamagotchi...

  She has her own recommendations for what you should check out first of hers, but among them I would underline the Facebook Myanmar series she did.

  I am extremely chuffed that Xanthe has started a blog since they're a big reason I have this site/domain

  emilygorcenski.com
  Emily Gorcenski was a very prominent antifascist on Twitter and then retired from it for her own wellbeing. Well, not from opposing fascism -- from prominence. She takes nice pictures now.

  The Independent Variable
  Kevin Kortum also goes by kordumb but in my head is tiv (rhymes with live). Indiewebber, nice personal blogging

  Kicks Condor
  Kicks is along with Xanthe one of my biggest inspirations in having this site! He works with Weiwei on Multiverse and also just has a ton of his own projects that are pretty much all worth checking out. He hasn't updated in a long time but I don't care, there is no point to my having a blogroll on this Internet if it is not still Kicks Condor's Internet, filing him under no defunct comment.

  david r. maciver
  Some of this ends up being contemplative and personal, and some ends up being computer-posting. The most self-consciously philosophical bits aren't for me in the same way that I don't really truck with the LessWrong folks, but the bits where he is clearly deeply thoughtful about his own experiences in life make the subscription very worthwhile.

  the garden of earthly delights
  You know how Uncanny Valley was fun and captured well an outsider's ambivalence to that Bay Area tech culture, but it was really from an outsider perspective even with insider observations? This is the kind of thing that marinates in the acid ambivalence of someone on the inside. I mean this in the most complimentary way I possibly can indicate that someone is "inside" with respect to that culture. (The author is "Berlin-based", for the record.)

  v buckenham's new blog
  I do not care enough about videogames to properly appreciate the breadth and depth of V's thought, but all of the web and culture and tech stuff is right up my alley indeed. If you've never gone and read the talk about LLMs that isn't here, you should still go read it to understand why here is a person worth following.

  I need to figure out the right way to direct money toward Atlas Obscura because I appreciate their quality bar so, so much. Makes me itch to travel.

  rare historical photos
  Excellent for reorienting yourself, angling away from the tyranny of the Newest Thing. They're not all of equal interest, of course, but the titles allow a subscriber to dip in as they sound interesting (a virtue in a publication!).

  I'm always suspicious of history nerds, but when the writing's really good I do enjoy myself going with it.

  Jude Ellison Doyle's newsletter
  Don't get mad at me, Twitterati, I caucused for Bernie in 2016 and voted for him in the primary in 2020. Even if I think he ought to mute a lot more words on Twitter than he seemed to (back when I was on there), he has interesting insight. Now that he's writing more personal stuff, or now that I'm reading it more, I guess, I feel increasingly defensive of him in the way that you always feel a panicked need for the world to not reject the people you recognize as potential alternate selves.

  Sometimes I think about how much terrifying power the technical world has over nontechical people. You're not even equipped to know what you don't know.

  Food in Jars
  I got on a dacha daydream kick where I imagined hiding out in the mountains and filling jars with pickled things. This is where I found my daydream recipes. I haven't made any of them yet but her explanations seem really helpful.

  Serious Eats
  I have a hatred for America's Test Kitchen that originates in the land of reason and extends beyond that land, partially because they just seem to have no respect for the centuries of women figuring shit out. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is the voice I trust because he and Serious Eats have a really great track record of applying a systematic method to things you might not have been systematic about, but helping you figure out what you think is best (rather than dictating that Your Grandmother Was Wrong About Eggs or whatever). Their imprimatur is one I look for on all kinds of kitchen advice.
