PostSecret

I briefly mentioned PostSecret as an aside from some other point, but it's long overdue that I talk in more detail about the actual site.

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. Your secrets, posted here, every Sunday.

When I first found the site it was hosted on Blogger, but they've moved the site to WordPress somewhere in the last few years. PostSecret is the largest advertisement-free blog in the world, unless you count a link to the International Suicide Prevention Wiki. Here are some example postcard images.

I've loved the shared art project since I first subscribed, even though I didn't quite understand it at first. I love the idea that it's not just one person creating the work, but a whole organic community. And they are sad or angry or happy or melancholy or joyous. All together they are beautiful.
