i'm reading all the word vomit
I've completed three full weeks of blogging. I'm not going to be doing it daily anymore, but it's the first time in YEARS i was able to stick to something daily for that long. 21 days. [clap emoji]
I've found enjoyment in reading other's blogs more than anything. Coming from Spacehey, it's nice to not read about high school bullshit that can be solved by a trusted adult. It's also a great break from Reddit's AI engagement bait.
There are always interesting posts in the discovery tab. Some very misinformed and shallow and others very well-written and funny; I read them all. I'm always looking at the Recent Posts and other people's blogrolls. I prefer candid posts where people just throw their thoughts onto the keyboard. Their inner monologue while doing something. Or those who use their blogs like a public diary. There is no such thing as "TMI" in my book. Yes, please tell me about your foot fungus or your weird pregnancy cravings in great detail!
I actually found a few cool blogs through those who email me. People who write or think similarly to me. I get nervous to reach out first because I'm a giant pussy, but receiving one is like getting my paycheck. That level of happiness. I don't have to put on a façade. They read all my weird bullshit and still want to interact.
I love non-english blogs as well, with the help of google translate. Bearblog is written and marketed in English, which makes that the dominant language. But once in a while, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin blogs show up, along with some other languages. As a result, I have a very diverse feed in my RSS feed reader.
blah blah blah thats enough about that.
My favorite bear post this month so far is this one:
Uncanny Valley - The Cult of Nonsense
"It's terrible, and I love it."
This person brought to life what is a mediocre photo and made me see it as something more. A picture I would have just quickly scrolled past. I'm not sure if it's the writing, content, or the fact that it's the first blogger I've seen from my state, but it made me laugh.
