Blogroll
A curated list of sites I read and recommend. Follow people, not platforms.
This blogroll are sites I regularly visit and find valuable. It's a mix of personal blogs, technical writing, cultural commentary, and community resources. All of these sites are maintained by real humans who create thoughtful, original content. I've also added them to my human.json protocol for asserting human authorship! (Read more about that here)
If you think there's a site I should be reading (or if you want to be on this list), email me: mail@brennanbrown.ca
