substack is the way to go, it has an app that you can download. substack is kinda like twitter for writing.
there's also psyche.
low-tech magazine - powered by solar energy, really cool for more technology-oriented articles
literary hub - literary articles (you can also find reading lists, news from the publishing world etc.)

Newspaper archives are great to look at random events and also see how people at the time reacted to them!! Maybe old magazines/films could be cool too?
There are also so many different blogs on Substack which look at different bits of history - like https://www.africanhistoryextra.com/?utm_source=global-search, https://florencehrs.substack.com/, and https://15thcfeminist.substack.com/. Definitely browse on Substack to see what's on offer and what style/topics interest you the most!
For more general blogs, https://publicdomainreview.org/ and https://daily.jstor.org/ look into quite niche topics.
Also the podcast 'The Rest is History' has done loads of episodes on many different topics! Have fun <33

I was reading so many of them I started a substack about other substacks. We keep it interesting.
Lots of great ones out there, but if I had to pick two as launch pads I would look at Deepculture and The Aspiring Generalist to get going. Besides the Zeitgeist Distilled of course.
