Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

If you take just one thing away from this article, I want it to be this: please build your own website.

@sophie Also: creating content for a website that you own can be extremely therapeutic in these trying times.

Yes, the world is on fire and there's lots of bad news and such.

But creating things gives me something positive to look forward to. It gives me a past to be proud of. And that is all too important in an era of doomscrolling.
