Scribbled Line

This is my scribbled line, its a collection of things I find interesting or want to remember. Here you can find a good summary of my world views in the writings I find important and things I just think are neat.

If you ever want to make a personnal website that feels alive, I think you have to accept that it's like a room: iterating between moments of cosy messiness, and moment of cleaning and sorting that are also good for the soul. The more you will force everything into a pre-fixed structure, the less it will feel like a space where someone's living. - ungual.digital

Important things

Writing that permanently altered me

Kae tempest - A book of traps and lessons this poetry is genuinely probably the biggest driver behind a lot of my world views. Whole thing should be experienced in one session, somewhere outdoors alone and dark, whether that's sat outside a pub at night with a drink or in a forest.
silly, goofy article about football in the future showed me that you should try to find wonder and whimsy in the everyday and the mundane, and that those things are vital to existing as a human.
Contrapoints helped me realise how I want to experience love and helped me learn to respect myself, though nowadays I've realised they're a pretty flawed person sometimes
CJt heX helped me work out how to exist in the moment and just actually feel things (the first of the two linked videos, second is a better summary but came out much later)
Leon Rosselson showed me that its okay for life to be messy and imperfect, that we don't need a system to solve every problem and helped me understand what people say when they mean property is theft. He's a bit too radical for me sometimes but that's fine. He's 93 now and only has 3000 or so listeners on spotify. I wish more people knew about his music, there's a lot you can take from it that applies to modern politics.

Healthy conversation, thought and debate

The value of other cultures (especially non-scientific, stereotypically "primitive" cultures)

Against his-story, Against Leviathan! This is possibly the strongest narrative for properly emotionally integrating this point into your world-view, though the book itself is incredibly biased and a bit unhinged. Would recommend chapter 1 or 23 specifically, 23 especially.
