Where did you find that?
Austin Kleon⤴ wrote in his book Show Your Work! a lot about the importance of sharing the origin of the things you find on the internet.
Crediting work in our copy-and-paste age of reblogs and retweets can seem like a futile effort, but it’s worth it, and it’s the right thing to do. You should always share the work of others as if it were your own, treating it with respect and care.
But maybe even as important as linking the original source is linking how you found the thing. There are so many times when because of following "via" or a chain of reblogs that I could discover so many new blogs I liked.
This is not only decent in terms of respect for the author, but it is also helpful for others because they can walk the paths you're walking to find your inspiration. It is about making it easy for others to find similar things. And it is helpful for the people who curated the inspiration along the way.
One of the specific ideas mentioned in this episode clicked in my head with citations as well: the long-held many-cultures notion that it is the duty of the traveler who succeeds to come back and share with those at the beginning of the trail. You are required to pass along what you have learned to others embarking on the journey you have survived. This communal and socially shared obligation is an uncomfortable fit in an isolation-biased world. (Citation As Pilgrimage⤴ by Dr Cat Hicks)
