i think i was really overdue for this post. but iām really glad i sat down and finally wrote it
if the post previously had white text for you. it should be okay now. there was a dark mode media query in the page template that i have not picked good colors for yet
I loved this so much, going on my listography for recād readings <3
I wrote a late-night rant about missing greener spaces around me. No proofreading was done, so forgive me for any mistakes.
this managed to make me deeply nostalgic for a place Iāve never even seen.
My dream living space would be surrounded by greenery, but also filled with the closeness and companionship of the city. Like⦠a tree-filled clearing where my frends and I all have homes right beside each other and can see each other every day.
Truly a dream. I have friends who moved to calmer, greener areas and unfortunately that means distance and seeing them only twice a year if that. Living in a big city and making friends apparently always leads to long-distance relationships.
Itās only my second blog post (with the first one being about opening a blog) but I wrote about a silly book I enjoy (āThe Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identificationā by Julian Montague) and a new hobby I kinda developed because of it.
You might also enjoy the Neocities website about āwild breadā.
Just searched it up, and yeah that speaks directly to my interests, thanks!

new post after a while-ish. so short as always idk how u guys write long posts ;-; im so bad w words
I love this! Not only the subject matter of the book but the fact that youāve dived into categorizing carts. Awesome!
The Weekly Wrap Up is here! There are some cool links, I went on a quest for eggs, impulse bought a most amazing book and, you know, read some stuff, watched and listened to some things.
What a fun⦠thing? I love that there are so many aspects of humanity that can be analysed :)) Next time I see a stray shopping cart I may send a picture, but if nothing else Iāll be thinking of this. I may even read the book, Iām sure I could relate it to my studies!
@ajazz doing my part: Sharing āUnplatformā ā Manu
I feel like this space, specifically, would have interesting commentary about what I vent about here.
Oh shit, youāre on 32bit.cafe too! Hey finel! ![]()
As a fellow nerd with a love of niche academia you have fascinated me with this book, Iām downloading it as we speak.
This really resonated; I make zines, websites, and games under my screenname. I really donāt want this persona to be connected to my legal name⦠But keeping them vaguely separate requires a lot of work, isnāt fully possible, and means that I canāt easily show people in ārealā life the things Iāve made.
for me, the only REAL reason online me and legal/ārealā me are fully seperated is because at least technically speaking, unless i out myself in real life, the two are completely different gender lol.
but honestly even if my legal name was rina, im unsure how comfortable iād be with people i know/who know me knowing the stuff i made/did online. besides if someone REALLY cared enough to connect the ātwoā meās they likely still could
i think itās interesting that i often see this positioned as a ānewā thing! iāve spent a lot of time rooting around in geocities archives, where it was very common to put lots of personal identifying information on your personal page, including your mailing address. itās not new at all; there just is & always has been a part of internet culture where itās common practice to use a pseudonym and a part of internet culture where itās common practice to use your full legal name, and itās jarring for both when those cultural spaces interact/intersect/come into any kind of contact!
i think itās also worth noting that i also heard ādonāt share your full name and locationā as internet security advice growing up and that it was presented as internet security advice for children!
