cool stuff!

Here are some links to things I enjoy that you might want to check out:

my favorite daily word puzzles: RADDLE and Bracket City
Puzzmo for quick & quirky crosswords, plus many other cool puzzles! wordbind and pile-up poker are pretty good
PokéRogue is pokémon reimagined as a roguelike, which is exactly as addictive as it sounds
Music League is a thing where you can make a league with your friends, submit songs every week based on prompts, and then vote on your favorite songs! great way to keep in touch with people & obviously discover a ton of good music

Perfectly Imperfect—tastes of taste from interesting people (guests include Charli xcx, Francis Ford Coppola, and The Rizzler)
Queering the Map—a digital archive of queer experiences around the world
against cop shit—a provocation on the oft-adversarial relationship between students and educators
I Am A Transwoman. I Am In The Closet. I Am Not Coming Out.—really personal essay about the trans experience
The Pudding—visual, interactive essays about culture
Wealth shown to scale—a visceral visualization of wealth inequality
Taylor Swift and Totalitarianism— astute application of crit theory to a modern cultural behemoth (nothing against swifties tho)

LiquidText is my favorite way to read academic papers
Hydra is an open-source video synth. if you’ve ever heard of modular synthesis, it’s a similar idea—you can chain, patch, and manipulate video signals to produce wacky visuals. the landing page of this site was built with Hydra! (wrapped in p5.js for interactivity and web-ness)
Tidalcycles is an open-source live coding environment for music. it’s great for algorithmic and emergent sequencing (and it can hook up to Hydra for reactive visuals alongside your music!)
