Interests and curiosities
Generally...
✿ When the quiet things or "inconvenient" truths are spoken
✿ Feeling like an alien sometimes, and doubling down on it
✿ Coming as you are, and creating a space where others can do that too
✿ "Soft things"
Being human
✿ What makes life vibrant?
✿ Love, beauty, purpose, comfort, ease, questions, curiosity, identity, community, grace, language, forgetting, remembering, form, simplifying, existing, optimism, acceptance, (re)direction, work, maintenance, and making yourself legible.
Technology
✿ That is soft and slow
✿ Informed by nature + biology
✿ How might we bridge barriers, cultivate creativity, and nourish our souls?
✿ How might it return us to humanness?
Relationships & connections
✿ Loosely— I love thinking about our relationships with ourselves, each other, and technology.
✿ In awe of the interplay between the beings + forces that shape our world <3
Creativity + creative work
✿ Creativity > productivity
✿ Practice > performance
✿ I love learning about processes and intentions.
✿ Might I be drawn towards experimental, unconventional, and "controversial" things o.0 Nuances
✿ The Power in Softness
✿ How do we embrace nuances without getting lost in them? Without forgetting about them?
Other things
✿ Minimalism... kind of?
✿ Frameworks, information, data collection
✿ The "quantified self" (i.e., I am ENFP 6w5 lawful neutral) (but also, steering away from this when you have to).

✿ "Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world." — Miyamoto Musashi
✿ “Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet.” ― Timothy Snyder
