Marilyn and Me by Ji-min Lee

Read: Marilyn and Me by Ji-min Lee ★★★★☆

Not sure if I’ve ever read a book by a Korean before! Enjoyed, and was educated by this one. Marilyn is more in the title than the tale.

Sad day as I add @mozilla Thimble to #IndieWeb site death page.

7am

Dark, clearing sky, bright waining moon, frost,

windscreen scraping, traffic and trains,

high above the sound of geese.

Read “Link In Bio” is a slow knife by Ability Dash

We’re almost forgotten that links are powerful, and that restraining links through artificial scarcity is an absurdly coercive behavior.

I’ve seen this linked (ironically) all over the place. Great metaphor and explanation. Pretty much all quotable.

killing off links is a strategy.
….
it is a strategy, designed to keep people from the open web, the place where they can control how, and whether, someone makes money off of an audience. The web is where we can make sites that don’t abuse data in the ways that Facebook properties do.
