A collection of articles, blog posts and other resources I consider interesting, educational or otherwise worth visiting.
I do not necessarily condone any of the views expressed in the links. I found these links through a variety of means so don’t consider a link to terrible-website.com as evidence that I regularly browse or support that website.
For ease of reading longer articles I would suggest using Mercury Reader for Chrome or Firefox Reader View. Superscript content warnings have been added to articles that cover more extreme topics such as violence or abuse.
