Big recommendation for just Sending Someone an Email. Wrote a blog post! Got an email from the person whose work I celebrated in the blog post! They said thanks! I told them about going to the International Melville Society Conference this summer! We have exchanged pleasantries and everyone feels nice! Never a bad time to just Send Someone an Email.

I bought a sex toy from this company years ago. Even after my mass purge where I unsubscribed from almost every mailing list in my inbox, I still can't bring myself to unsubscribe from Meo because all their emails are exactly like this. In fact, I'd even argue that this one is pretty tame compared to their usual stuff, and I love it.

The spam email I just got literally cold opens with this.

My first project completed during The 100 Days Project! I saw this comment in a "vaguely threatening corporate speak" video and couldn't get ot out of my mind. I had to chart it out immediately.

I've decided that (other than this 😅🤞) I'm going to work on WIP from my 100 Days. Hopefully I can work through what I have laying around to make room for other new projects!

With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, more people than ever are considering alternatives to Google products.

After all, Google's business model essentially revolves around data collection and advertisements, both of which infringe on your privacy. More data means better (more targeted) ads and consequently, more revenue for Google. The company pulled in over $230 billion in ad revenue last year — and that number continues to climb higher.

But the word is getting out. A growing number of people are seeking alternatives to Google products that respect their privacy and data. Since you are reading this, we assume you are one of them.

Small steps to restoring your privacy

When beginning the journey of restoring digital privacy, some people get overwhelmed with all the work involved, and perhaps give up. Don't let that be you. Understand that you don't need to do everything right away. Instead, start small and go step by step at your own pace. With each step in the process, you get more security and control over your personal data, which is a small victory.

So don't be overwhelmed and remember that there's no “one size fits all” with this process. Even small changes, such as using a private search engine and a privacy-focused browser, are victories. So push on in your quest for more privacy and celebrate each step of the journey.
