[nonostantement #328] - internet & wellbeing / third places / facebook & fake news
Now with MORE interconnected things!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with necessary, critical, and irregular stuff found all over the Internet.
I've been doing this every Sunday for six years. Spending so much time online, I come across interesting things that I share in this newsletter. I don't find it obsessive at all. I've been living and working on the internet for many years (I can't remember exactly when I started). Hi, I'm Joele.
Some music for you: Artur Antunes - Tia and Popp - DLY
