my zine is officially live, and you can now physically collect it through the mini-app below.
it’s something i’ve dedicated the past months to, and i’m really proud of how it turned out. i wouldn’t have done it any other way.
inside the mini-app you’ll find more glimpses of the zine as well as a short note about it...
so today is an important day for me. around 8:30 pm eet, i’m going to make my zine available for collection on farcaster. the entire process will happen inside farcaster through a mini app.
it’s the first time i’m launching a zine, and the first time i’ve built a mini app myself. it’s a first in many ways, and i’m exc

good morning
the idea that i have to do one thing only to become recognizable is perhaps the thing i hate most about these algorithms. i've always hated niching, i never understood why we're asked to do it.
the internet used to be cool back in the day, when people shared their whole multitude of interests.

looking at how easy creation has become, i am definitely seeing the idea of creation as the new consumption being true. i mean, with ai we can now create faster and more than we ever could.
and i agree that most of it is slop, but slop can be created faster and in much bigger volumes now thanks to ai. and so, some of...

i don’t think i will ever want to stop long-form writing and i will always encourage people to do this because it truly is one of the few things that keeps my mind fully active, and maybe the one that truly makes me understand a topic the best, regardless of how much i read or listen to someone else talking about it.🌹

the way i curate what i want to save from what i consume is not by focusing on the numbers a thing has made, but rather on the way it has made me feel.
there are so many cool things i am consuming, but only a few i am actually saving, simply because all the others aren’t moving me in any way. not sure what this means...

content has become fast fashion is something i wrote about 4 months ago, and it has become more clear and more true every single day since then🌹

i think slop exists because all we want to do is feed the algorithm, and the algorithm always asks for more.
most of what we make feels weightless because the only thing we now know is that we have to keep making. but why? for whom?🌹

i think that if we managed to detach from the influence metrics have on us, our work would be much, much better. no matter how little we claim to care about them, even the smallest thought we give them bends the work one way or another🌹

i'm being pushed to post on platforms like tiktok and instagram, even though they don't fit the kind of work i make.
i love expressing my message far more through writing than video. but if i don't, the chance of people finding my work is lower than ever, and i hate that.🌹
