introduction ~ 20.01.22

i just created this channel, and am trialing a new indexing system. it's still under construction and subject to change but it looks a little something along the lines of ✴︎ pinned, or close to my heart ➿ research, projects, investigations + craft research, visual reference ꩜ mapping feelings; the organic; the more abstract * smaller questions ?? repositories; collecting ※ personal; more for me; alternatively, my own work ⁂ currently unsorted 🌳 …trees! :’) ( ) no longer active so far the idea is that this will be a rotating channel tracking what i am actively thinking on. themes, questions, feelings, blocks/channels from the community, anything. the idea comes from this practice i used to do where i would write "things on my mind" in the centre of a journal page and just brain dump (like, really pour it out) entirely unrelated things in clusters around it so that they could coexist. there is a private channel acting as a backlog for anything that has appeared here. also to give my are.na a voice? i realised there is no commanding or guiding voice that stands out above the noise of all my separate channels to provide some kind of synthesis.
