Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at shopandsmiletoday extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at shopandsmiletoday earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
