Goblin Digest - January 25
Still from Destination Earth. 1956.
With all the recent Bloggies discussion, I started maintaining a list of blogposts that jumped out at me as potential nominees for a GLoGosphere-specific award show for 2025. I figured if I was going to compile such a list I might as well share it. It's also a good chance to try on some categories.
Entries here aren't the only posts I liked, but they stand out to me for having a mix of intriguing content and quality of prose. Entries marked with an asterisk are loose fits for their respective categories. Naturally, I'm excluding my own posts (but you know where to find those).
Think I missed something? Let me know!
