Hey there, reader. I am sort of new to Gemini. My actual capsule exists over at ~green.
But why? Why am I here in Gemini?
The reason being that I was really affected with the toxic creator culture in the big web. Before, I used to be a youtuber- streaming daily study-with-me videos, a blogger- having written stuff in both my own Eleventy blog and Substack. But it soon turned into /theatrics/. I started performing and optimising for views and algorithms. Instead of doing actual studying, I started "looking" like one who studied, or when it came to writing, I just never posting something that was raw, in fear of not being "perfect" enough. I wasted too of those many hours trying to perfect a video, a blog or an essay and didn't pay too much attention to just /write/, /create/, or /study/.
That is what I hope to achieve in the geminispace- being able to create without wanting to perform, without the need to attach my name or revealing my identify. I guess I am just trying to be anonymous for now. This space is just for me and just for the people who might wander into and find shelter, if they choose to.
Just in case you want the long version:
agenda
- math, physics and chem concept explanations - like a madman.
- make a TIL
- write about things that I resonate with - essentially mirroring my resonance journal.
- more on fountain pens, coffee, and my experience as a wannabe polymath
links
I am looking forward to using flounder more often and shift my journal over here if I fix my emacs/tramp config to sftp here.
Cheers!
