If you don’t have one yet, go start a personal website! Don’t take it too seriously, try things and it can be a nice, meditative hobby and helps against the urge to doomscroll. Also you might never know, your kind of people might find it and connect with you.
I give this advice from time to time, and generally people’s reactions are: 🤨🤔🤷🏻♂️.

First Narrated Blog Post Experiment
