Blog masterpost / FAQ
PSA: All posts written after August 1st 2020 are also posted on my Wordpress, as well as some chosen older articles.
So this blog has reached its 2000 followers milestone this week. Warm welcome to my new followers, glad to see you there.
Because I suck at keeping a consistent tagging system, I’ve figured that maybe a masterpost would be necessary. If you’re new, you can refer to it and catch up with some of my older posts.
