CHANNELS | Idea playlists
Each channel is a mix of text boxes, images, videos, pdfs, and links.

I joined are.na in September 2024 as part of my commitment to spend more time with human curation outside of algorithmically-curated walled gardens— are.na has been described as "playlists for ideas", and a "toolkit for assembling new worlds from the scraps of the old." I use are.na to make deep dive playlists and storyboards for drafts I am working on.

- See 🎒 backpack for a curated list of at least one thing you'll find useful,
- and 📺 curated watchlist to mix your YouTube algorithm up with video essays I've seen and recommend, categorised by time you have to spare.

Liy is a Southeast Asian Muslim knowledge worker and poet sharing what they learned from the periphery to prep for precarious futures. This is an ad-free space outside of the algo. If you're new here (hello!) or need a refresher, start here for house rules. Here is what I am up to now. I spend time thinking out of my zettelkasten notes system and sharing playlists of curated treasures from my time travels. Consider subscribing for free to read more and stay in touch— I only send out letters a few times a year. If you valued something here, tell me over DM (if we have access to each other) or tip this cryptid with a message— that sends a clear signal of appreciation ✨
