Facebook Messenger and some other apps give a thumbnail preview. The recipient needs to click the actual link. If they click the image it starts from the beginning.

Penn Jillette claims to have missed less than five days of journaling in 34 years. Likewise many bloggers have machine like output and ridiculous streaks. Part of me respects their consistency but another part can’t help but think, NERD!

I’m happy with sporadic posts as long as the overall body of work is good.
