soso good it is litch pinterest but for weirdos. it has no algorithm at all. it has everything from articles to insta posts its just a big archive of everything on the internet ever. i love it because i think that algorithms in other social media platforms are all about pandering to what you like, meaning you get pushed further into your own interests rather than being made aware of new ones, which are.na def avoids. xoxoxoxoxoxo

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 :*)

Like pinterest but without the ads or algo or mommy blogger tone. Feels like how Tumblr used to feel. I find so many cool things. And it’s great for practical use of organizing stuff I find around the web.

It's hard to waste time online happily now, but you can still do it on are.na. I can both be surprised by what I see and carve out a sense of place on it. Kind of like adult, quieter Tumblr. I use it for general aggregation (clothing, images, posters, reading material) and for moodboarding creative projects.

just watched this on a whim. was going through a tough time and thought it would help me, but it ended up helping me in the opposite way i thought. its heartbreaking but i think it’s important. i thought it would motivate me to have a thirst for travelling the world and experience all these things but instead it gave me the desire to fix my internal world. don’t get put off by the flashiness of whoever the fuck you follow on instagram and go to therapy. those wine bars in tuscany and clubs in rio mean absolutely nothing if you’re never satisfied. sorry for the sappiness.

i had one egg, a stale english muffin and a dream. lately i’ve been getting annoyed at the fact that we buy like £30 of ingredients to make a random recipe, and i’m trying to stop doing that and since then i’ve been making up the best little recipes. this morning i had no toast and one egg, so i couldn’t make scrambled eggs on toast which is a go-to when im having a slow morning. so i decided to make a french toast out of a stale english muffin and whipped up some double cream i had lying around that was about to be out of date. not the most unique recipe in the world don’t get me wrong but it was so fucking good and cost nothing!
