In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at aspenclipper extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through cactusferret only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at granitegrovecommercegallery 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.
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at tomatotactic maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
