In about three months, this blog will celebrate its 20th birthday. I feel like the world of social media has changed drastically in those 20 years, and it is due to so many factors that I cannot begin to list. For now, I want to share some interesting items that I have read or watched or listened to recently. I hope some of them resonate with you out there in the wide world.
