I am a life-time learner, full-time student and casual creative hobbyist. I write anecdotes, ramble-ramble and opinions on certain topics. Opinions can be wr...
As this "Streamer University" thing wraps up, I found myself engaged in Ludwig's lessons. Even though I do not plan to do content creation in the foreseeable future, I am interested in streamer culture. In my opinion, IRL streamers are mostly public nuisances, and they feed into my fear of public surveillance. Rational (or irrational) fears aside, it is great and odd for Ludwig to preach respect…
I have been working in the food and beverage service industry for 6 years. I hate it. Constantly understaffed, not compensated fairly, a dead-end opportunity and constantly undermined. For someone working with food, maintaining safety standards, serving 10-30 people at the same time, and working independently... I do not feel appreciated monetarily or professionally. I recently had a bad shift…
At the beginning of the movie, something from Nikki's dialogue stuck with me: "When I have a crush on a guy, no one knows." and "Do you like me? Cause if you do, now is the time to tell me.". When I was in high school, I was really close with a guy in my friend group. We talked every day, and he was charismatic. Our conversations bounced off each other and he was overall a nice guy . One day, I…
As an unemployed adult daughter, I am homebound. I recently noticed that this year I’ve started hearing cats fighting in my backyard. My parents also noticed an increase in activity of fruit and herb thievery. The culprits? Long-hair tabby-grey cat Look of a guilty criminal walking on eggshells. Caught red-handed! Floofiest black cat Don’t let the fluff fool you. Hidden under the fur are sharp…
I hope this blog post brings some reflection and insights through my personal experience and mindset as a former Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF). I don't want to be praised. I just want to not be judged. I never hated transgender people. I watched videos, tried to do my own research and agreed with many arguments about transgender rights. I was more or less indifferent. "People should…
I got off a phone call with my best friend. We mostly talked about romantic relationships and, most importantly, men. Yup, we failed the Bechdel Test. I started the conversation about Androgenic, an Australian lookmaxer gone woke. I talked about how this young man developed "empathy" as he grew older and realised his fear of rejection is immeasurable compared to women's fear of gender-based…
"Junk journaling" has been a trending term on the internet crafting space for a while. As you can infer from the term, "junk journaling" is the creative practice of collaging with materials that would otherwise be discarded. Junk journaling showcases the creator's consumption over time, arranged to reflect the creator's personality, interests, and creativity. What was originally a rejection of an…
In 2025, I became fixated with zines. It led me to open my once abandoned Instagram art account to follow zinesters, attend zine festivals and zine workshops. I was fascinated by zines that discuss political, social and creative discourses, specifically those that rebel against the status quo of the industrial printing machine. Nothing really came of fruition except two zines (that I was not…
Hello! I am collecting responses for a small project to raise awareness for women's health, destigmatise menstruation and mental health. The question is: “What is womanhood to you?” This project is open to everyone and closes on the 5th of September 2026. Please send any media to me, fill this anon form or email me a post if you'd like, and I will link you: chilblands@proton.me. Thank you for…
I just exported my Instagram information... my 2014 Instagram account was pressed into a 1.07 GB file. The app that once connected me with my classmates outside of school is now a burden on me. I no longer talk to these strangers who I once talked and see everyday at school. I just feel so much disconnect and envy. Seeing people my age in a different stage of life, traveling, and posting with…
