forget if i put this here already, but this app and are.na are my favorite digital locations rn
brainchild of members of iconic design/art collective k-hole, it’s a place for making connections and shit
it’s like if Pinterest was more design forward and had cooler people and a lot of pdfs

one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

If you love hunting & gathering online then this is the spot.
kind of a mix between tumblr + pinterest. I'm obsessed
feels very artist/design focused but I think any creative person would enjoy it.
you get a certain amount of use for free – but I pay for it and it's worth every penny to me!!
i found a student discount code too! use "CURIOUS" for 50% off

old men named things like “Larry“ and “Bob” will respond with either confusion or desire, it feels more mystical than most religion, and is great fun. write to a friend, or someone you lost, or someone you want
