I’ve recently gotten back into reading independent blogs. I use NetNewsWire, a free and open-source RSS reader for macOS and iOS, to keep up with them. Whenever I come across an interesting article, perhaps on Mastodon, I make it a point to subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed.
I’ve gathered quite a list of blogs I follow over the past several weeks, and I wanted to share some of them with you. I’m trying to prioritize personal blogs over mainstream news because I find the personal touch makes them more engaging and distinctive.
A Few of My Favorite Blogs
Here are a few of the blogs I follow and highly recommend. I strive to read everything from the blogs I follow, but these are the ones I find myself returning to most often:
