This article by Barbara Nickless was one of my favorite pieces to edit in 2024, and it posted (I feel appropriately) on New Year's Day 2025. I feel that writing really does heal us.

The moderation changes Meta is making across its platforms is another opportunity for me to remind you that having your own actively maintained site is one of the best ways to assure that people will always be able to find you, no matter what happens to the social media sites you don't control.
