I'm in taipei this week. It's very rainy here. I miss the people of (salt) and i also miss the people of (xp). This <time> feels like a layover. A layover after the layover. It's quite warm here (32°) and yesterday the heat broke and it's pouring rain nonstop. Still it's nice to be here.

The last month has been like a river. I'm not sure if I'm the one watching the river or I'm actually the river. I guess we will see.

The tour was a lot of fun. I haven't been so inspired in a while. It was very special to meet all the people that I've admired online for years.

I feel a little funny reflecting on this <time> so soon after. I was going to write on my memory site but the idea of doing that too soon makes me a little sad. I'd like to hold them in the present a little longer.

I also had an unexpected thought while at (salt) ...

before this <time> i wasn't enjoying the process of making things. i think i mistook the process with this feeling of making something that will be published or have some final form. that kind of work makes me feel dead.

what makes you feel the most alive? how do you stay alive when capitalism asks things to be dead as fast as possible?

I changed my website to be less dead. it's still a little dead but i feel less dead lol.

thank you to jisu, suzin, soi hong for pinning this idea throughout the tour.

in the hope to keep things more alive, i'll put some links to some things that are in process. they are not finished and might change today, tomorrow. you know? we change ...

special.fish/timelapse ~ if you took a timelapse of the special fish homepage over the years

tour.elliott.computer ~ a website made while at (salt) for Elliott Tour. it was fun to communicate on this for 2 days. there's even a dm feature.

it makes me want to make more ephemeral sns

to remember: cold black tea is pretty great when it is warm out

that's all for now

stay alive out there,
