Things making me happy this week: 99% Invisible: I know I’ve called out the podcast 99% Invisible on this blog before, because I really, really enjoy it.

Things making me happy this week: Cube Escape: I’ve actually been playing these games for a few weeks now, but for whatever reason I hadn’t thought to mention them on the blog. They were advertised to me in the app store, and while I wasn’t looking for a new game to play, something about it… Continue reading WMMHTW 2020.06.12
Dear the Instagram Algorithm, Let me start off by saying that you’re my favorite of the mainstream social media platforms, and I’m not a fan of social media in general so that’s a compliment. I like photography and art, and you deal in both of those things. I really like that my feed stays relatively… Continue reading An Open Letter to the Instagram Algorithm
