I have had difficulty working on @TIL. The majority of that stems from my life, and that of my family, being in an extended phase of that which I can only sum up as Everything All At Once.
What does not stop me is worrying about how many Followers or Likes I have. It’s nice.
When I read blogs on their sites, or in my feed reader, or the Micro.blog timeline the same thing happens overall: regeneration.
I am inspired to feel that which is similar to my youth spent reading, and when I first started to write independently of school.
There is something so nourishing about the open web, including platforms that are built upon, and respect, the concepts therein. This includes Glass, Flickr, newsletters... it's just so good.
