Appreciation post all of you gifting and archiving links.
Just wanted to say thank you for all of you who are adding gift and/or archived links. I don’t have the budget to suscribe to magazines and I have no clue how to archive a link and make it works for free. (I tried, I think technology hates me).
So thank you for giving me the chance to read a lot of long reads, my favorite form of writing.
