30 Years of Writing on the Internet

2024 marks the blog's 30th anniversary. Is it time to give popular online writing—from blogs to tweets and newsletters—the critical attention it deserves?

In this new Longreads essay, Megan Marz asks: why does the literary world still hold online writing at arm’s length? 

While it’s become banal to observe that online life is fully enmeshed with the rest of the world, an imaginary curtain separates online writing from the rest of U.S. literature. It’s time to take that curtain down.

People like to say the internet speeds reading up, but a personal blog, read in real time, can slow a story’s pace down to the timescale of life; the thickest book in existence can be read in less calendar time. Not even the author knew when a blog would end, which is what made it feel so alive.

Read Megan Marz’s “Poets in the Machine” on Longreads.

My favorite duo, Laudna and Pâté from @criticalrole

[patetemult]

No but do you understand how insane this makes me ???

All this time I presumed Laura knew Imogen had romantic feelings towards Laudna from very early on and was just waiting for the right moment, but it took HER off guard too. And then she had to hold it in, and felt like she couldn't go there because they'd agreed NOT to be romantic, but she couldn't help it! She had fallen for Laudna just like Imogen had, hard and completely out of her control. Stunning, spectacular, showstopping etc.

Where’s Paté? I’m gonna strangle him for not seein’ that thing.

“Cancer is always communal because everyone could be a future sick person. Cancer is an experience of the body that upsets our understanding of chronology (when did I get sick?) and renders our experience of proximity completely uncanny (what is happening inside me?); Boyer defines pain thus: “the experience of a location that exists only as a desperation for its end.””

When talking about stigma around mental illness, we need to remember that people with psychosis, schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, and/or personality disorders tend to receive the most abuse and violence because of the false, harmful stereotype that people with these disorders are actively trying to hurt others, even though they're far likely to be hurt than to hurt someone else. That paired with the ableism they face constantly increases the suicide and self harm rates among people with these illnesses. Please include them in your conversations about mental health, they're some of the most vulnerable and are too often forgotten. People with these disorders are all around you, they deserve support too.
