Remember Livejournal?
Back in the day, when blogging was a big deal, people would write whatever came to mind in a lovely, long-format way. No character limits, just prose. I feel like force-shortening people's ideas has been such a detriment to human expression. We need more words, not less.

I still have a couple of blogs. I even remember to take a break from here to write for them now and then.
Medium has become a good venue for long(er) form writing.
