Eyes:

I always find it hard to include my Substack readings here, but today I’m gonna list out some ones I’ve been revisiting that have felt important to me… today specifically, I’m thinking a lot about identity and how what we love fuels our identity:

• “Research as a Leisure Activity”, Celine Nguyen

• “You’re shaped by what you pay attention to”, Sherry Ning

  • Similar and a sort of continued read to the one above is “You are what you love”, Sherry Ning

• “a girl is an algorithm”, Giulia Spadoni Riva

• “From consuming the product to becoming the product”, Post-Culture by Sibling Studio and Lucinda Bounsall

• “Our Camera Rolls Are Broken, Leaving Our Memories In Danger”, Grownkid

• “learning and yearning for the past”, Toni

• “your phone is the reason you have no identity”, JC

Ears:

“Jemma”, Dead Calm

“Luminary”, Joel Sunny
