Welcome to my Digital Garden!

I've been feeling jaded. wearied. fatiuged even. Have you ever scrolled on your mobile pocket-computer for so long, hours, perhaphs; and only continued to feel worse as the time dragged on? Only to feel that you can't look away from all the dumb bullshit happening on your screen? This is why I created my website. I'm tired of it. And it's a problem. I needed a place to be free- like a wild horse on the russian steppe. Or maybe just a place to keep all my GIFs i've collected from the internet. In all honesty I'm just some rando who likes the interconnectivity of the internet, but hates corporate overlords deciding to keep me online at all costs simply to show me ADs for the newest hunk of crap I don't need that'll eventually end up in a landfill, unable to break down before the death of our sun. That's dark. Maybe a bit pretinous. I try not to be a doomer, I promise.

Ultimately, I love the internet! I can connect with people from anywhere, I can bear witness to so much joy, art, thoughts. But I think corraling all 8 billion of us on 5 sites is perhaphs, not good. Also most social media sites are so bland.

"The slogan 'refuse, reduce, reuse, repair and recycle' provides us with a hierarchy of strategies for dealing with waste. Refuse means to decide not to engage in the consuming action or task in the first place because it is not necessary. Reduce means to minimize the materials and energy required or the frequency of the consuming action. Reuse means either reuse for the same purpose or put to the next best use. Repair means to use skill and very limited additional resources to restore function. Recycle means to break down into more basic elements or materials before being reprocessed for the same or other uses."
