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 rec’d 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 I’ve 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.

It’s only my second blog post (with the first one being about opening a blog) but I wrote about a silly book I enjoy (ā€œThe 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.

I love this! Not only the subject matter of the book but the fact that you’ve 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 I’ll be thinking of this. I may even read the book, I’m sure I could relate it to my studies!

I feel like this space, specifically, would have interesting commentary about what I vent about here.

Oh shit, you’re on 32bit.cafe too! Hey finel! :wave:

As a fellow nerd with a love of niche academia you have fascinated me with this book, I’m downloading it as we speak.

This really resonated; I make zines, websites, and games under my screenname. I really don’t want this persona to be connected to my legal name… But keeping them vaguely separate requires a lot of work, isn’t fully possible, and means that I can’t easily show people in ā€œrealā€ life the things I’ve made.

for me, the only REAL reason online me and legal/ā€œrealā€ 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 i’d be with people i know/who know me knowing the stuff i made/did online. besides if someone REALLY cared enough to connect the ā€œtwoā€ me’s they likely still could

i think it’s interesting that i often see this positioned as a ā€œnewā€ thing! i’ve 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. it’s not new at all; there just is & always has been a part of internet culture where it’s common practice to use a pseudonym and a part of internet culture where it’s common practice to use your full legal name, and it’s jarring for both when those cultural spaces interact/intersect/come into any kind of contact!

i think it’s also worth noting that i also heard ā€œdon’t share your full name and locationā€ as internet security advice growing up and that it was presented as internet security advice for children!
