i am sure many people do this but i love to fall down internet rabbit holes about my favorite subjects and compile information and scholarly articles and books about my silly interests. my biggest one currently is on monsters as metaphor/horror as expression and the monstrous feminine!

i start a lot of my projects by researching things related to what i'm working on. just google your topic and look at articles (jstor is a great place to find scholarly stuff)🎢 or if you're doing film ubu web is a lovely place to find inspiration! i'm also a big fan of internet archive because there's all sorts of crazy random stuff on there. i find that researching helps me solidify my ideas🐆

Sometimes I get into little worm holes. There was a time I was obsessively into conspiracy theories (I find myself still very susceptible to conspiracy theories and I have to force metaphorical ice water onto my limbic system to remind myself that we are too chaotic to collectively plan doomsday together), another time I was obsessively into ARGs on youtube, then another time where all I watched were tiny home tours (my era of tiny home content consumption is re-emerging after my husband started a show on amazon prime about various air bnbs) but the latest worm hole I have gotten into should be more accurately termed a rabbit hole, as in, an alice-in-wonderland rabbit hole where it's a whole other world down there. I have discovered the realm of neocities and have been browsing so many different sites, so much indie-user content, it;s honestly a little overwhelming but one thing I am realizing so far is the common theme, among all of them, of breaking away from mainstream social media with it's dangers of data harvesting and ad revenue where you are the product as well as maintaining privacy where you are not peer-pressured into giving away details about yourself simply to be relevant on the platform you are using, and instead you can just be as you are, post what you like, create your little space on the web outside the confines of the social media spaces that exist today which are designed to create hostile interactions because that generates more revenue, more data, more surveillance---------- and here I go on my conspiracy theory era again...

i have a nice spot on campus under an arched outdoor hallway where i eat my food truck meals in between classes. its lovely in sunny weather but also a nice shelter in the rain or snow. i also enjoy the seclusion it provides, since i do not like to be seen eating by strangers. basically it's a choice and a necessary precaution.

Love how my roommates/bffs and I now sort of have a secret language, a specific lingo if you will. I read an article about how small groups/communities start to unknowingly build their own specific “societies”/cultures through just being together so often. I love how that just happens naturally; connection is what we are all here/made for! I also like seeing others’ friendship ecosystems it is so cute and cool!!
