Reading/Library page inspiration. One of my original versions of my reading page included the book covers, but I found that getting them was a hinderance to me posting what I was reading. I often update my reading page from my phone as soon as I finish a book.

This is why I proposed the Blog Archive format (.bar) back in 2017. It’s essentially a ZIP file with all the posts and images for your blog. It uses JSON and HTML. There is nothing in it that is specific to any one blog platform, but it’s easy to extend with your own data if needed.
Strong +1.

Manton’s argument against link previews. I think it is highly context dependent. For example, I like them in my digital garden because that is where I’m saving links. I don’t like them when I’m linking to things in regular blog posts.

On a prerequisite for considering psychedelics:
I will very often chat with friends who are interested in exploring many of these different tools and I’ll say, “Okay, first thing you do is you’re going to do 30 days of the introductory course on the Waking Up app from Sam Harris.”
“You’re going to combine that with reading Awareness by Anthony de Mello. And after the second week or after four weeks, you’re going to do a holotropic breathwork course,” because there are a lot of facilitators and it’s a term, turning towards wholeness is what that means by the way, which is relatively easy to find in most metropolitan areas. And it was developed by Stanislav Grof and others. And you should do at least a weekend course of holotropic breathwork, ideally do two or three separate sessions so that you have a chance to have a breadth of different experience including maybe some challenging or strange or disorienting experiences. And then we can talk about potentially phase two or three if you even need to go there.

This is an old and likely abandoned project from BKC, but I resonate with the stance that
Online centralization creates “choke points” that can restrict access to web content.
and like their approach of saving local caches of pages. Maybe I should repurpose it on my digital garden and make sure that all of my bookmarks get cached locally. Kind of like a self-hosted pinboard.

Likes Are cities for tourists or residents? by .
Plenty of these anti-tourist stories are making the news, but we’ve yet to see this part of a more systemic pattern. And that pattern is going to intensify, if only because voters are aging, nationalism is ascendant, and protectionist sentiment is on the rise.
I am also pleased to tell you all that the world is full of underexplored spots — try Salta or Kosovo for a start. Or in a major, heavily-touristed city of your choice, just walk ten or fifteen minutes away from the beaten track, if that.
