CHANNELS | Idea playlists

Each one is a mix of text boxes, images, videos, pdfs, and links.

๐Ÿ‰
I joined are.na in September 2024 as part of my commitment to spend more time with human curation outside of algorithmically-curated walled gardensโ€” 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.

I also use Raindrop.io to stash all my social bookmarks as I go:

  • See ๐ŸŽ’ backpack for a curated list of at least one thing you'll find useful,
  • and ๐Ÿ“บ curated watchlist to mix your YouTube algorithm up with video essays I've seen and recommend, categorised by time you have to spare.

And as always, the Beloved knows best.

Liy is a tropical cryptid in Southeast Asia foraging for narrative resources from the periphery to prepare 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 curated playlists from my time travels. Consider subscribing (it's free!) to read more and stay in touch: I only send out letters a few times a year. If you valued something here, say so (if we have access to each other) or it means so much to buy me a coffeeโ€” that sends me a signal to keep going.
