I'm very excited about

Contemporary literature / Software's influence on culture / The handmade, handcoded web / Intersections between design process and writing process / Interdisciplinary endeavors / The joy of a good groupchat / Reading books, not feeds / Calligraphy / Twentieth-century history / The resurgence of physical crafts in a digital age

so feel free to talk to me about these things!

Recently

Writing about software and cities, thinking about AI's impact on artistic processes, and reviewing books for The Believer.
