A README file is a text file usually found in the root directory of a folder, documenting the contents and structure of the folder or dataset so people can find what they need. This post is going to serve as the readme for this website.
I anticipate this website growing and changing over time, but it is currently composed of six parts:
feed
is a collection of my favorite images I take or find every month, updated sporadically or else monthly at the end of the month in a batch. Usually these photos are beautiful places I see, interesting things I find. I notice I take a lot of photos of things I find on the ground. I learn a lot about my interests from selecting photos and looking at my photos like this. feed starts just before January 2024.
words
is a repository for any and all writing, a personal blog+ hosted on my own domain. words is a repository for published writing, unpublished writing, unpublishable writing, pieces that are really short or really long, include images, are works-in-progress or collected research. Right now most of this writing is scattered between platforms and notebooks.
stories
is slightly more specific: stories is a collection of very short stories, updated sporadically. I write these stories all the time, and the stories on this site are likely my favorites. I anticipate adding to this collection all the time. They're listed reverse-chronologically, in a single long scroll. I actually don't know where the idea for this format came from.
info
is my bio and personal info, contact information, CV etc.
links
are included in the header to the two networked platforms I regularly update / post on: are.na (an incredible tool for collecting, organizing and storing diverse types of content, I use it all the time for research and as an external memory) and a link to my special.fish page, another incredible project that defies description! which I use as a very ambiguous and experimental diary.
