other stuff
plus this button i made in like 10 minutes 👉
editorializing a bit here but when i first made this site i wanted it to be dedicated solely to my writing, nothing else – 0 information about me or anything else really – sectioned off like a biohazard from the rest of my existence, both online and in real life.
was that a stupid idea? probably, at least a little bit. not that it'd be insanely difficult to divvy the facets of my being up into discrete categories – my respective interests in, e.g., writing vs music vs computers honestly don't have much overlap, if any – only then i had these other things i wanted to say, and i realized this is really the only place i feel comfortable putting them. social media bad etc
which is probably a net positive, right, it's better than having nowhere to put these things, but still i sometimes look back on that earlier era with a touch of longing; the blankness of it. the facelessness. the abstract force whose whims dictated this little bundle of webpages. i've always struggled picking a name for myself, maybe because i never wanted anyone to look at me like that in the first place. like an actual person.
there's just already so much shit on the internet, isn't there? and i have to ask myself – when i write, when i create, am i actually contributing to the wider corpus of art in humanity, or am i just noise?
but like... genuinely who cares. none of this matters outside my little mind-bubble of anxiety lol
