hyperlink festival

what this is

a place to put all of the links i keep saving in my tabs and never closing. organized chronologically, not categorically. except for these top ones, i like these

why this is

i find that scrolling fruitlessly in search of something interesting is a symptom of the problem. the problem is that corporations have taken control of the internet and made all the interesting stuff really difficult to find. but it's out there! this serves as my personal collection of things that make the internet interesting and good. expect a wide variety of interests and things i enjoy! have fun!
