I am always enjoying reading Roden issues by Craig Mod and this one made me add 2 books to my reading list
About small shops, "Miller says: "A true shop has a life, a breath, a status, set not by algorithms but by minds and hearts. And you know it.""
A writer POV on social media, why she hates it and what she plans to do instead of going 100% on social media. Hint : RSS and newsletter
Manuel Moreale is launching a curated newsletter starting on January 1st named Dealgorithmed and you should subscribe!
"Dealgorithmed is a newsletter for the people who still love and care about the web, for those who are tired of doomscrolling the same three sites day after day.
A newsletter about the small web, the poetic web, the quiet web, the web many say we lost years ago, yet it's still here, ready to be rediscovered by those who care."
I really like the idea of pop-up email newsletters, which Craig Mod is a master of. Having constraits, time constraint in this case, can be a helpful tool in the creative process
