<p>I’ve noticed myself struggling to hold thoughts that ultimately, I do not want ruminating in my mind. I felt like blogging may be a good middle ground to get my ideas out there and spread some annoyances and enjoyment I have from this world. I have a therapist for those personal thoughts but for some more overarching society thoughts. I thought they should go here.</p>

<h2 id="there-is-a-lot">There is a lot</h2>
<p>As I am writing this, I wanted to just share some emotional topics that I tend to get worked up about. And specifically Youtube creators or people I have found that share these views more eloquently than I do.</p>

<p>In no particular order or granularity:</p>
<ul>
  <li>The right to repair, replace, modify and enjoy</li>
  <li>The rejection of convenience for the sake of self improvement and to remove the ability to be taken advantage of</li>
</ul>

<p><small><em>Two great videos on the concept of creation after the influx of AI</em></small></p>
<ul>
  <li>RSS Feeds?? What an iconic tool that should have been social media</li>
  <li>The insanity that is Linkedin</li>
  <li>Longform content and the comfort of listening to someone calmly enjoy living such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/GabSmolders">Gab Smolders</a></li>
</ul>

<p><small>I have been loving her playthrough of Ocarina of Time. Centers me nicely in the morning or evening</small></p>
<ul>
  <li>Community and providing for those that share space</li>
  <li>Coops?? Like how cool [News channel sharing their exploration]</li>
  <li>The commodification of positive change and hobbies, the dumbphone, composting, gardening, blogging</li>
  <li>Video games, such a beautiful medium of creation</li>
</ul>

<p><small><em>Really cool video on the emphasis of Splatoon music in its story</em></small></p>

<p>I’ll probably add more to this list as time goes on but I just wanted to reflect on what again has been sloshing around in my skull for the past while. All these items are issues or compliments I have to what is going on around me. I love that I get to have the time and energy to be able to explore these in more depth and I hope to do that here. I may end up creating some video content on the matter but who knows.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for being here! I am working on socials, specifically an RSS feed (for sure), bluesky or mastodon, which I need to do more research on.</p>]]></content><author><name>Jayce Beck</name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[Why even a blog?
