Trying to write a less cringey post that feels more myself… I think my posting is about to go through the awkward transition most of us should have had as teenagers: putting thoughts out into the world before they’re fully formed, unsure if anyone is reading, finding our ‘voice’, making the necessary grammatical and conceptual mistakes… ideally so my future self doesn’t have to.
As a teenager I was far too concerned with what strangers might think to run those experiments in public. So it seems I’m doing it now in my 20s, a little later than planned. Somewhere along the way that curiosity got postponed, but lately I’ve become mildly obsessed with the idea of leaving some kind of trace on the internet. Not a brand, not something polished, just something honest. Just evidence of thinking in progress. If anything coherent emerges from the rambling, that will be a bonus. For now, I’m starting here. And, I’m starting safe, with a collection of others cool and unique imprints on the internet…
Cool things I found this week:
I. Completed Works Ceramics and glassware
Objects that feel both ancient and slightly mischievous.
II. Admonymous for others to leave anonymous messages about you
A strangely intimate social experiment in praise, critique, and curiosity.
III. This blog
Clear, careful thinking.
IV. A favourite classical piece
Quietly rearranges my internal state every time.
VI. Meeting House
VII. Turntables
