Junited is an idea from Robert Birming to try and keep some of the spirit behind Weblogpomo alive. Rather than a post a day for the month of June, it’s focused on highlighting blogs and their posts, each day. I’m going to try and hit as many days as I can (although I’m giving myself grace to not hit everyday). This post will serve as the master list going forward and I’ll post a short post each time I add to it!
- Robert Birming: “Blogging is Back” - Yes it is.
- Barry Hess: “Seeking Ikigai” - I really appreciated Barry’s reflections on the concept of ikigai here.
- Ben Tsai: “My Coffee Workflow” - If you were curious about making a great (maybe the best?) cup of coffee, this is the post for you.
- Shrediverse: “The Rise of Sleep Token (Pt2)” - I love music and this is a really, really well done post about Sleep Token.
- Adam Newbold: “The Discomfort Litmus Test” - Adam always makes really thoughtful posts. This one especially so. Read with an eye toward building your personal self-awareness.
- Michael Burkhardt: “I’m Not Anti-AI” - Check it out for a great primer on AI and where it stands today.
- Julian.digital: “Multi-layered Calendars” - A really deep and thoughtful exploration of the way we use calendars.
- Lou Plummer: “Adults Making Friends” - I feel so much of this post about making friends. I’m pretty new to my area and don’t have much in the way of in-person friendship yet but am definitely grateful for all of the acquaintances and friends I’ve made online.
- Kerri Krueger: “Thai Peanut Curry” - This looks so tasty. I’m adding it into my recipe database to try sometime!
- Jason’s Journals: “What JRPG Means To Me” - This reads like a love letter to the JRPG and I couldn’t agree more.
- Jedda: “Settling into my new notes home” - A number of folks I follow ended up migrating to BearBlog at the same time and it was really quite fun setting things up separately, yet a little bit together. This is a post about Jedda’s process of moving to BearBlog.
- jcrabapple: “On Relationships” - His other blog Shrediverse is already on the list but I have to add this one as well. He offers a great bit of advice - it’s not about having everything in common but having similar goals.
- Alan Parish: “Favorites” - This is my favorite music blog and the author’s favorite songs.
- Alexandra Wolfe: “What I Learned Visiting the US” - I love posts like this highlighting peoples experience of culture. The playful ribbing is fun too!
- Cole Blankenship: “Profound Connections” - Where in Cole asks, “What do you have a profound connection to?”
- Keenan: “Felt cute, might delete later” - They launched their new site which is always fun!
