Social media isn’t what it was. What once promised to connect us now feels manipulative and disappointing. I’ve grown tired of Twitter and Instagram, and I’m uncertain about other platforms like LinkedIn or Bluesky. But I still want to share my viewpoint on things that enrage me.
That’s why I’m writing my newsletter "Odds & Sods". I know it’s not the typical approach to the genre, but I combine various topics that interest me. I’ll share articles I find engaging and discuss issues such as questionable business practices, problems within the tech industry, ethical concerns, and political matters.
Every week, I compile my thoughts that I used to post on other platforms into this newsletter.
