Hey! It's been awhile since I added a new thing to this section.
I've been feeling melancholic about the internet lately. What an absolute shitshow it's become, huh?
It's depressing.
Recently, I managed to drop social media for good. Well, not entirely.
I mean, I still use Tumblr, but I only use it to reblog art at this point. It's a very isolated experience.
And everything else I use is, well...
uh, does YouTube count? Does communicating with my friends through a messaging app count???
Well, I dropped Twitter-esc sites, is what I'm saying!
Ever since then, i've been realizing just how AWFUL it was for me,
and i've practically been preaching to everyone to get off of them...
despite the fact that quite a number of my friends barely use it anyway. But still!!!
Holy hell, what a nightmare! I've never been happier in the past 7 years (as of writing it is 2026)!
What i've also been realizing is that I don't think i've ever hated anything as much as AI and cynical internet users.
It's such a disgusting environment we're stuck in, where human creativity is being beaten out by
humanless garbage being churned out of ozone-killing data centers for money,
and if you make anything even remotely "cringe", a bunch of no-life asshats will tell you to go kill yourself ad-infinitum.
It's fucking nauseating and it fills my heart with so much pent-up frustration.
All of the hate I feel for the modern internet... actually has me very inspired.
I'm not at a place right now where I can make much of anything (blame AI for rising computer costs!),
but I've been looking at my playlist of old, classic YouTube videos, and just seeing crusty gifs looping with stupid music,
Windows Movie Maker slideshows, misheard lyrics videos,
and Super Mario 64 bloopers makes me think... "Wow... I want to make these, too".
I want to make something out of pure, human passion, so that other people can see it and think to themselves,
"Maybe the way we can turn this back is if we start becoming our uncompromised selves again."
I just want to feel hope for us again, you know?
I mean, really, I started my website for a similar reason.
I just wanted to let my self-expression shine through, because that's what I love about old Geocities sites.
I wanted my own place away from social media, that was unabashedly mine.
So, please, don't be afraid to be yourself.
OK?
Fuck the cynicism
Let the colors fly
Don't care you think it's cringe
Because it's not your life
