Everyone should start blogging again. Own your own site. Visit all your friends' sites. Bring back the artisan, hand-crafted Web. Sure, it's a little more work, but it's worth it. You don't even need to stop using social media! It's a "yes, and" situation, not a "no, but" one.

My son 🙋🏽‍♂️was SO cute today, he asked me "dad are clouds candy?" 😍 I told him they were water. 💦 Then he asked "dad, what's Earth's defense system?" and then I remembered I don't have a son and he asked again his eyes now obsidian black "what is the defense system father"

Don't forget to turn your bathroom scales back 15 pounds tonight at 1AM for Thanksgiving.

As an app-only walled garden, Hive Social is not a part of the World Wide Web in any meaningful sense. Anyone letting it get their hooks into them is making a familiar and terrible mistake. We've been here before. Don't let it happen again. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/03/instagram-hates-the-internet/
