Every year, I write a remembrance on the anniversary of this date. This year, I went a little deeper, and shared what I wish I could tell everyone who was too young to remember the day. What was it _actually_ like to be in NYC on that day? Without the constructed, contrived myth that's arisen in the years since. anildash.com/2024/09/11/23-wha

@chrisamaphone yeah I’m messing with the site. I’ll fix it in the morning.

@sloot @chrisamaphone sorry, should be actually fixed now!

@anildash @chrisamaphone
Thank you. Great article.

I enjoy your mix of compassion and optimism.

@sloot @anildash yes, this too! i felt bad about replying to something so heartfelt with a complaint about a task you hadn't done yet -- so, thank you for writing and sharing your thoughts about everything through the years. it helps make some meaning of something so difficult to process
