Chris Wiegman writes about carving out a place to be yourself on the Internet.

The more human a blog is, the more I’m drawn to it. I don’t want to see people shilling for their employer, I want to know them. Blogs are about being human, in an error of AI and big tech they might be the last place where people can be human and that makes them all wonderful.

I see blogging as a way to create the web we want to see, and an inherent act of resistance against forces of conformity. I don't pretend to be running a stunningly erudite op-ed column. I don't have connections to the great and powerful. I just use this space to by myself, make the world a little weirder and kinder, and participate in the web instead of just consuming it.
