Reading
A way to keep track of most of the things I read. Mostly better, long(er) form content. I read a lot of shitty tweets and other content that aren’t included here.
I try to tag the readings when I have time (they’re sort of messy and have a lot of overlap), but you can sort of use them to search/filter. I tag things with wow if I think it’s really interesting and worth reading.
