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.

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

  • 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.
And as always, the Beloved knows best.

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 ✨
