I wrote this piece last year comprised of different texts that I found at various points and have been sitting on for I don’t know how long. 5-10 years, maybe. I’m really happy with it so I wanted to share it here with the recommendation to always keep this special mysterious stuff you find stored somewhere. Rip it from YouTube and dump it into G Drive, copy paste it into Notes, create a desktop folder of loose miscellaneous material, record a voice memo, or at very least WhatsApp a link to a friend so there’s a record of it. I know that if I react to something then I will invariably at some point be struck by the memory of reacting to it and will be furious at myself if I can’t find it again. It is always satisfying when you eventually figure out a purpose for whatever it is, otherwise you will enjoy the enigmatic frustration of it until you die. Win win.

been thinking a bit about the impermanence of the internet a bit lately. about how saddened i felt when i found out wear your voice’s website shut down and i couldn’t access a really foundational piece for me anymore, and how happy i was when i found out there was an archive. digital media’s always hanging on a ledge, and i’ve gotten so used to feeling like it’s not.
i would’ve thought going as far as to print out a piece that you like would be “too much,” but i mean if you really love it... what’s wrong with expressing that somehow?

maybe you had an idea, maybe you didn't. maybe it'll spark a new one, maybe it won't. maybe you'll want to delete it, maybe you'll want to keep it forever. but it's worth checking exactly what you were saying or singing or listening to someone else say in that "22-02-18 - city centre" file. just in case.

I record when I start to forget and listen back to remember—be here now.
An act of documenting… when I'm crying out in laughter or suffering, tired right before bed, and a passage I just read, but most of all when I hear a sound never heard before.

Here is a piece that I am livestreaming indefinitely on youtube. It’s footage from basically everywhere I’ve been in the past 3 years or so. All over America. YouTube is really a blessing; even if it was _just_ a storage platform for video it would be above and beyond anything else. I really recommend finding ways to make stuff for youtube.
