Hi! Youâve fallen right into my trap corner of the Internet. I made this space as an experiment in self-expression. It scratches an itch that I call my âshare-switchâ: the sudden, overwhelming urge to impart a recent experience to another person.
Anyone is susceptible to the share-switch. My best friend. A random Discord channel. A teacher I had class with years ago. Imagine: âI saw this dog while I was out and I said âI love youâ a little too loudly.â Or, âyou gotta see this hyper-specific meme thatâs only funny with background knowledge I know you donât have.â Congrats, youâre next in line!
Thatâs why I created this website as an alternative to a social media page: my âun-pageâ.
Why an âun-pageâ?
- True expression is disorganized. Platforms impose structure. They confine new ideas to post formats, character limitations, and linear timelines. An un-page embraces my messiness and offshoot trains of thought.
- Thoughts can change. After hitting âpostâ, what we share is instantly visible to hundreds of people. Once itâs out, itâs hard to take back. So I pre-edit. I mask. I spend more time writing for the eyes of other people than actually sharing things. There is more flexibility with an un-page.
- There is relief in disconnecting. Social media feeds are full of highlight reels and doomscrolling traps. Being active on social media isnât a bad thing, but being too immersed is exhausting. Creating an un-page is a healthier, more productive alternative.
All of the content here is intentionally unorganized. Take a look around by following a trail of links.
