Digital Declutter Day(s?)
I've been really putting this whole thing off, but now that I've switched gears and boarded the Firefox train (in an effort to slightly de-Google), I've been mostly looking at all my online accounts the whole day and purging most of them to oblivion, manually migrating accounts and passwords. I am fully aware that I could just click one button to do this all for me, but for a change, I wanted to do this more intentionally. How else would I have known that I had an account for, say, last.fm when I haven't even used it for years? I deleted it.
So there's nothing much to write about tonight, but here are a few interesting things that I wanted to share:
From a long-forgotten Atlas Obscura newsletter, I was awakened to the concept of Mail Art, so now my brother and I are planning to join the Mail Art Project by Jason Brown that's ending this month. It's really just something different to do.
In the same newsletter, they talked about the documentary SPACESHIP EARTH. I watched the trailer and honestly, it reminded me so much of Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment, with a hint of science.
A friend's recent tweet reminded me of this spoken word poetry performance – When Love Arrives by Phil Kaye and Sarah Kay. Admittedly, this is the only thing I listen to again and again after any break-up and it has helped me pull through some dark and difficult times.
That all sounded like a hodgepodge! Alright, back to work.
