Blogroll

Updated 14 June 2025

I maintain this page manually so I don’t update it often — also that probably means I’ve missed some feeds I follow 🤷‍♀️ I change up who I follow relatively often for variety. (Also, I’m using the term “RSS” generically.)

My websites

Feeds for this website

WordPress will make a feed for anything (tags, categories, post kinds) — just put /feed/ at the end of the URL you want to follow.

This site’s main feed is bridged to the Fediverse and Bluesky, so you can follow and like posts from there if you like (note that likes will show up on this site as comments):

My other websites

Personal blogs + websites

I’ve split these up by whether I know people or not, mainly so it’s not a giant wall of text. The line between personal versus topical blog can be tricky to define, so some things on here may be more of a personal blog than not. 🤷‍♀️

People I’ve met

People I’ve interacted with

People who I’ve exchanged emails with or who have left comments here. I’m going by memory and might be wrong 😉

Everyone else

I’ve omitted blogs that haven’t posted in the last 6 months. I also follow a bunch of people through micro.blog instead of RSS and it is sadly too much work to add them all here too 😅

Miscellaneous roundups

  • Receipt from the Bookshop (Katie Clapham)* – books and book shoppers at an independent bookshop in England, extremely charming

  • Messy Nessy Chic – roundups of curiosities and visual inspiration plus counterculture histories
  • Dearest (Monica McLaughlin)* – auction roundups and history through the lens of antique jewelry and trinkets

I’m a sci-fi writer,  graphic designer and urbanist in the Seattle suburbs. Reading and blogging are my favorite pasttimes and I’m an advocate of the IndieWeb.

Lately I feel like my RSS feeds and newsletter subscriptions are a bit off, like I’m not getting enough variety. I notice the same articles be recommended time and again. I’ve been taking that as an indication that I really need to read that article, but maybe it’s that I’m reading within the same spheres. Ironic since I made an effort to cast a broader net with what I’m reading earlier this year. Funnily enough I did often find new things on Twitter, when I let myself use it, because I was following a ton of artists and writers – I wish they all had blogs or newsletters I could follow instead!

1. Create/reactivate your own site, owned by you, to hold your own work.
2. When you create that site, write or otherwise present work on your site at least once a week, every week.
3. Regularly visit the sites of other creators to read/see/experience the work they present there.
4. Promote/link the work of others, on your own site and also on your other social media channels where you have followers.

I am a huge fan of RSS and have never stopped using it to follow blogs and webcomics. But lately as I’ve read lots of people talking about timelines, a question has been niggling at me: what does make an RSS feed* feel better to use than “the timeline” of social media? They are both streams of information, but I prefer RSS.

I much prefer following people to publications, and curating for myself what’s interesting out of what those people have curated for themselves. There’s a good bit of noise, but there’s also a lot of serendipity — neat things I would never have encountered on my own, that I wouldn’t have thought to investigate.

Here are some things on my wishlist. (These are mostly bookmarks that I will probably not ever buy, but it makes me feel better to save them just in case 😉 Also I’m trying to get away from Pinterest.) Prices from when items were added.
