different wrapper
Once I knew a man who was, at one point, discerning a life as a Theravadan monk. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the various strains of Buddhism, allow me to explain: the Theravada School is perhaps the earliest form of Buddhism practiced in the world today. I won’t claim that it goes […] …

our great shame
Especially now that it’s gotten warmer, I have (on one or two occasions) found myself craving ice cream in the middle of the night. The great thing about Toronto is that there is never a time when you are completely without the possibility of ice cream, so the last time I found myself in this […] …

the timeless bard
My mum and I have a tradition where we’ll go down to Stratford (Ontario) two or three times a year to watch Shakespeare in the theatre. We’ve seen some great ones: Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, and (a wonderful parody of Shakespeare) Something Rotten. Personally, I’ve always loved Shakespeare’s tragedies the best, but I’ve come […] …

My Gaymers+ #Webring got SOME attention on here, and is taking off on Tumblr (I literally paid to Boost it 
)… but no one has contacted me about joining, yet.
This took way too much time and effort for me to just… quietly delete it, in a few weeks' time.

not sure what i’m talking about? check out https://goodinternetmagazine.com — a print magazine for the #indieweb!
Good InternetGood InternetA magazine for the non-corporate and independent web, use of code as an art medium, and web development enthusiasm of hobbyists and professionals alike.
Sometimes we don’t stop feeling, we just get too full to process.
Came across this reflection about what happens when information overwhelms empathy. It’s not burnout. It’s something quieter.

an ode to used bookshops
I like a good used bookshop like I like a good pub: affordable, accessible, and diverse. Strangely enough, like pubs, there’s a sense in which a used bookshop is a microcosm of the whole community. Reading attracts all types of people, after all, and you can tell a lot about someone by their taste in […] …

I’ve been thinking deeply about how social media turns people into products.
Your body, your skin, your mind—none of them are broken. They just haven’t been commodified. And that’s not a flaw. That’s your freedom.
You’re not failing for not being “monetizable.” You’re still human.
I don’t want followers. I want connection.
If you feel the same way, let’s talk.
