      as the feed moderator I am very aware that I can’t weigh in on some things without my voice carrying as a mod comment and with great power comes great responsibility, so I’ll just say this: I know we’re all on edge right now and sometimes the best thing to do is just log off for a bit. take a breath

      I've been working on a network of webrings to connect people's hobby sites! I have multiple lines that I visualize as subway lines, so I call it the Smallweb Subway!
      
      Every station is someone's website. You can explore it here:
