sUCH an incredible archive of cyberfeminist works from the early days of the internet until now. i’ve linked the website, but the book’s really cool too. really incredible design, both aesthetically & functionally. the way it internally references other sections of the book captures a Wikipedia-esque clicking-through-links quality of online research, which is really impressive in such a static medium. i want it so so desperately but for now i must simply admire it in bookshops

By Rhizome. A unique and beautifully made book cataloguing net art from the beginning to today. It is now wildly expensive but you can explore Rhizome.org like a digital gallery of net/new digital media art. Big recommend checking out some of Olia Lialina’s early browser works (her website is such a good net art gallery in itself as well) and if you like blingee, you will like her archival work/research. I love “Summer” AKA the ”most fragile gif on the internet” I don’t want to spoil it so look at it on a desktop. New media digital art is such a cool corner of the art world that is not talked about as much in scholarly contexts. Reading about it in a book feels oxymoronic but works very well!

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
