TAKING A “NOTICING WALK”

Coined by my best friend, “noticing walks” are for walking around and taking the time to notice the things around you. It’s about letting every little bit of litter, graffiti, obnoxious bumper sticker, and poorly designed advertisement catch your eye. Finding glamour and beauty in things that are usually considered ordinary, accidental, mundane. By nature of who I am, I‘ve always been one to notice on most walks I take, often taking pictures of my findings and sharing them to my instagram story like a true archivist. Electing to take the alley rather than sidewalk to see what people have written on trashcans and what lives between dumpsters. Taking a true noticing walk, with nowhere to be, allows you to reflect on what you are naturally drawn to and puts you more in touch with your surroundings, your neighbors, etc. Even if you’re like me and usually have your headphones on.

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
