Why a blog tho?
Not a lot of people use old-school blogs in 2025. Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon have an essay called "We Need To Rewild The Internet" that asks,
“But what if we thought of the internet not as a doomsday 'hyperobject,' but as a damaged and struggling ecosystem facing destruction? What if we looked at it not with helpless horror at the eldritch encroachment of its current controllers, but with compassion, constructiveness and hope?”
This website is an effort to rewild Evie's own online backyard, to divest from the Meta platforms and make a new, personalized platform in their place. The goal is to make more online spaces that people want to engage with via email newsletter or RSS feed. For the moment, though, the blog still crossposts to an Instagram profile @everzines.
