HERE | Liy’s Links

When I learn something, I want as many people to benefit from it as easily and freely as possible.

About ⬇️

  1. What's here? This URL is for every post-infodump variation of "Can you send me that link to the thing you shared?" or "Let me send you a link to the thing I was talking about, for whenever you feel like it" where I leave it in our chat history like I would a thoughtfully chosen shiny thing, then promptly forget about it until it is ever or never brought up again because I am terrible with texts.
  2. Are you selling me something? No, I don't want your money. But I am inviting your asynchronous attention. When I learn something, I want as many people to benefit from it as easily and freely as possible. Transmissions are my love language, and to me it is an act of care that people have many chances to encounter a thing that could be useful or interesting or beneficial information— especially beyond just in a social interaction with me that one time, an awkward and increasingly reclusive person still figuring out ways of being in the world, not always a reliable vessel for the thing that was meant to get to you. Here, we increase our chances.
  3. What to expect here then? Some of the below are collections of links. I use Raindrop.io to curate and rearrange them with tags and annotations to help you navigate, eg. for video essays, for attention to the future, for useful tools, for different kinds of questions I have received. Some are the 'link-in-bio' variety— if you're looking for one of those, the images should match. Generally, what I share gets older the further down you scroll, but I do favour sharing links that are as evergreen as possible.
