A place for things I don't want to lose. Things I'm reading, things I want to try, small observations, unfinished thoughts, and whatever sends me down another rabbit hole.
I want to experiment with Liquitex, since I haven't tried it yet, but I keep thinking about what it might be like to work with it as a material.
I'm interested in the different consistencies, layers, textures, and ways of applying it. This is something I want to actually try, rather than just read about.
I can't remember the last time I had a juicy Italian beef sandwich with fries and realizing that has given me the taste for it, so that's on my to do list.
I like mine baptized in gravy with American cheese and sweet peppers, which gives my taste buds something to lose themselves in.
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in 1892.
A short story about a woman confined to a room by her husband as part of a supposed treatment for her mental health.
I'm interested in its treatment of confinement, autonomy, gender, and the relationship between mental health and power.
It's been a while since since I've written about what's going on with me (in an abstract sort of way) but since philosophizing is more fun; I'm mulling over what I've learned as a result of taking a break from charting myself in cyberspace.
I try to make these blogs more about seeing the larger world politic through my own individual lens and less about me personally, so let's get into it!
Citizen science, biology, computation, digital preservation, painting techniques, old websites, and whatever else manages to pull me down another rabbit hole.
Some notes are the beginning of an experiment. Some are reminders. Some are questions I haven't answered yet. This is where they can exist without needing to become anything else.
