Hey people, never apologize for messaging me or anyone to show your blog, podcast or youtube channel.

Not everyone has access to big publications and distribution channels, or regularly so. If you’re putting in the work, never be afraid to let people know of its existence.

I only got around to seeing “The Mandalorian” now and I think I’ll be using “I have spoken.” a lot going forward.

I ditched Google Analytics from all my websites. By using Analytics, you enable Google to track your visitors across the Web. 😡

All I want is simple, bulk non-individual stats, and the privacy-respecting @PlausibleHQ@twitter.com is delightfully exactly that.

Americans can rave about equality, diversity, and inclusion all they want but it will only come across as legit when they refer to themselves as U.S. citizens.

I legit just sent out an email containing more than a dozen original space memes to all my blog subscribers.

This week’s issue of my Moon exploration newsletter is all about what’s beyond “just” sending humans to the Moon. This decade will end real good.

How to feel at home on the Internet?

Get your own website and domain instead of using the hotel rooms that are Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and more. Here are the benefits of owning a digital home: https://personal.jatan.space/p/get-a-domain

With Twitter buying @revue@twitter.com to integrate newsletters into the platform, writers and creators are swiftly adopting it. But before you do, know this––Revue doesn’t automatically setup HTTPS for your custom domain, leaving your site insecure. Unlike every competitor. Go @SubstackInc@twitter.com.

Just finished watching Season 2 of @forallmankind_@twitter.com. It’s as dramatic as you can imagine a continued Space Age Cold War to have been like had the Soviets landed humans on the Moon.

A human working at a Moon exploration company said these kind words for my newsletter https://moonmonday.jatan.space and supported it!

These are the things that keep me going through uncertainties as an indie writer. Thank you fellow lunatic. 🌗

Home and the future. The Moon looking pretty. ^_^

My favorite technical newsletter on space exploration crossed 5,000 subscribers! Super happy for @tectonic@twitter.com and @blach@twitter.com, truly well deserved!

If you have never heard of The Orbital Index, give it a read and you’ll probably geek out a bit.
