one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

Like pinterest but without the ads or algo or mommy blogger tone. Feels like how Tumblr used to feel. I find so many cool things. And it’s great for practical use of organizing stuff I find around the web.

soso good it is litch pinterest but for weirdos. it has no algorithm at all. it has everything from articles to insta posts its just a big archive of everything on the internet ever. i love it because i think that algorithms in other social media platforms are all about pandering to what you like, meaning you get pushed further into your own interests rather than being made aware of new ones, which are.na def avoids. xoxoxoxoxoxo

If you love hunting & gathering online then this is the spot.
kind of a mix between tumblr + pinterest. I'm obsessed
feels very artist/design focused but I think any creative person would enjoy it.
you get a certain amount of use for free – but I pay for it and it's worth every penny to me!!
i found a student discount code too! use "CURIOUS" for 50% off

weird as in cool and eclectic and niche
i follow an artist who works with mold, a guy who does art on Desmos, an old guy who makes milkshakes, a collector of Japanese photography, a ginger guy whose name i can't remember but they're super into ancient languages and translation, a number of fashion archivists and fibre artists, and more
instagram will be more fun and you will scroll reels less

i love this band so much. i saw them x3 during their residency tour this year and each time was otherworldly. james murphy is a phenomenal performer and a magician at what he does. i can't get enough of them i will see them until my pockets run dry
the first time i was with a friend and her friend. we drank red wine beforehand. i cried a lot at this show. seeing the disco ball light up and hearing all my friends for the first time was breathtaking
the second time i was with a friend and we did substances. substances make everything undeniably better i will not be obnoxious about that but i felt like james murphy was singing inside of my bloodstream and every instrument on stage echoed inside me esp nancy's keyboard
the third time i was completely sober! this was very emotional. this was the last tour and the last time i knew i was going see my friend since they live many miles away
