Recs & Resources

The original inspiration behind this page was to put together a list of blogs I follow. I’ve always felt like I discovered new blogs by chance, so I figured a compiled blogroll would be useful to others looking for new and similar-ish blogs to follow.

Then I decided that I should just have a page for all my recommendations in one place. Feel free to use the mini table of contents below to navigate to different sections.
