what am i doing with all this?

I am tired of having my online existence extorted for the profits of big tech and their advertisers. I want to have a space that isn't reliant upon the engagement algorithm and its effects on my psyche.

Read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams to get a better idea of why you too should want off social media.

I hope that this site can become a refuge for my thoughts and feelings toward the state of the world as it all crumbles around us. I wish I could be more positive, but honetly, things suck right now, and I'm doing my best.

plans for the future

I hope to add things that I care about to this site. Writing on topics I'd like to dive deeper into, sharing resources related to my interests, also just utilizing this as a place for self-expression and fun. I think I often get bogged down in how the ways in which I spend my time must be mature and thoughtful and show that I'm a big smartypants who is doing something innately good and meaningful.

But this doesn't have to be anything. This can just be for me.
