Commonplace Blog Post

 

I have't done much more than skim it, but this Internet Manifesto seems interesting and intriguing:

It's surprising how many people equate "the Internet" with "social media". It's like having access to 1,000,000x the Library of Alexandria every day, and only being interested in keeping up with what people are talking about in the lobby.

The internet used to be:

a place for creative expression

vastly customizable

a space for people, by people

The internet has become:

a marketplace (and we are the product)

a one-sided social experience

a capitalist hellscape

 

Likewise/related/whatever, this general resources page for the Zine Crisis discord (I mostly just lurk) is pretty cool. It's towards the top of my list to make another doodle zine over the weekend (let's see if manage to make any headway before hitting publish on this draft [NOPE])

Another somewhat on-theme thing, from another newsletter I follow, from Niki Midwest on a local print entity

 

 

Commonplace Blog Post

I want to start using this web log as more of a commonplace book, so here's some links I found interesting and-or would like to go back and read later: 

• An article about new-to-me music genre "comfy synth"

• Found this list of films mentioned in Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: definitely want to check a lot of these out

• This is an amazing Flickr collection of old illustration work

• Bumping the threadless tee shirts, stickers, tote bags, and so on shop
