Blogs I Don't Read But Do Recommend

• Erin in the Morning
  Erin Reed is a truly important journalist doing valuable work, but I do not have the mental capacity to read about the latest atrocity happening to trans individuals every morning unfortunately.
• Josh Comeau
  Very well written and visual explanations of web development and React concepts. I highly recommend his site if you are in the target audience for that!
• Quanta Magazine
  Gorgeous articles about math and science. If you want to keep up with the state of the art in math, physics, chemistry, and biology this is 100% the magazine to read. I only don't keep up because its too high quantity to keep up with >_<.
• web.dev
  Posts on the state of the art in web development from the Google Chrome team.

Another note, I have a bunch of saved articles on Harmonic on my old phone that I'm yet to rescue. Once I do that I'll expand the articles list! I aim to keep this relatively up to date, we'll see.
