'Yeah. Under the sea, lie so many traumas. It’s like a graveyard for so much history and loss, yet water is healing. The Internet is reproducing that duality, of erasing non-Western people and histories while providing space and tools for remembrance and celebration.'

I can feel you in my room
Why was I assigned to you?
I feel like I'm home on my own
And it feels like you see me
I know that you've been (around)
Still (around)
I want you to show your face
You know that I've been (around)
Still (around)
I know that you will be (around)
Still (around)
I don't know which me to be
I know that you know me better than I know me
Still (around)
Do you like what I made for you?
If you've done something bad or something good
I don't know which me to be
On my own
I know that you've been (around)
Still (around)
You know that I've been (around)
Still (around)
I don't know which me to be
I know that you know me better than I know me
I can feel you in my room
Why was I assigned to you?
I know that you know me better than I know me
Still (around)
Still (around)
I know that you know me better than I know me

YOU CAN AND MUST UNDERSTAND COMPUTER CULTURE
when i open my browser, I think about surfing over waves. Sometimes crashing and going under. The open tabs show me my journey. My history. I've surfed far and long and now i'm very wiped. I become bogged down, so damn entangled and I quit all of the background processes. Forgeting it all. I appreciate the process of forgetting more and more these days.

What are these things (Seksy_Dancer69)
hyper text ---> I'm thinking about Timothy Morten's concept of hyperobjects. But also HYPER-activity. My mom told me that I was a hyperactive child. Like a combo of speed and scale. Uncontrolable.
server ----> serving content or food. A nice and diverse platter of things. Delicious items, both sweet and sour
cheatsheet ---->ROSEBUD; sweet smelling roses that can get you what you want.
local host ---->A nice person that sits on the sidewalk, or at the gates of the neighbourhood and greets guests and passerbys.
web ----> Entanglements. Maybe the quantum field. I don't know ∞
net WORK ---->the labour that we do. Sometimes we get compensated and sometimes we don't. I would like to get paid.
cyber care ----> "Hardware. Software. Wetware."

the self deceit of clean spaces, when you tidy up, what is being covered, neglected, discarded
which memories and labour are made invisible? it is more comfortable not seeing the structures that enable certain realities, not others

Splitting up the individual into profiles
I mean my linkedin profile is a different person that my facebook one.
The internet is liberating in the sense that it gives us the possibility to be many.
Or many helps us to understand that we already are just that.
Many.
More than 1.
to be many it means free flowing, finally
to others it means loosing all anchors,
and all accountability
somehow trust has been attached to fixed identities in western culture...
So is the end of fixed (gender/racial/etc) identity the end of trust?

Whenever I fight for the right of privacy, someone is always asking me, "what do you have to hide?" to which i think.. how would it be to be able to live in this world without having to hide from anything?

i miss playful, outlandish interfaces...
i get lost in tabs and windows and struggle
to remember what i was even doing.
what was i even doing?
REMEMBER
...something like pixels and particles.
My friend who is a bit of a hippie keeps telling me that reality is pixelated.
That there are glitches.
And those glitches are queer signals.
Now i'm thinking about my own body, and also how the body of this website is queer.
All chaos and no clear hierarchy.

"In a society that conditions the public to find discomfort or outright fear in the errors and malfunctions of our socio-cultural mechanics—illicitly and implicitly encouraging an ethos of “Don’t rock the boat!”—a “glitch” becomes an apt metonym. Glitch Feminism, however, embraces the causality of “error”, and turns the gloomy implication of glitch on its ear by acknowledging that an error in a social system that has already been disturbed by economic, racial, social, sexual, and cultural stratification and the imperialist wrecking-ball of globalization—processes that continue to enact violence on all bodies—may not, in fact, be an error at all, but rather a much-needed erratum. This glitch is a correction to the “machine”, and, in turn, a positive departure." (L. Russell, The Society Pages, 2013)

how i sometimes feel trying to navigate internet privacy, power relations, convenience...
know THE CODE
This is a screenshot of a video of a screen. You are seeing this now from your own screen.
So many layers of screen.
Layers deep.
Thinking about the materiality of our internet technology.. and i'm wondering, what is this strive for everything lightweight.
Everything invisible.
Do heavy cables and cords really need to dissapear?
Is it for convenience..?
Hide the cords. Show the cords.
Cords are ugly. Cords are cool.
