Hi, I thought you could use some links ...

"The feed features daily updates with the latest from independent blogs and websites to help you discover a different side of the web." Cool concept, but I could not find a feed of the feed.
Things To Do While Waiting
"Stranger Backstories: Why is a person acting that way? Who are they talking to? What wild, generous, hopeful stories can you invent?" This is one of me and my partner's favorites.
LEFTOVER PASTA
An amazing short about sibling love and satanic video games.
Good Internet
"a volunteer-run, not-for-profit print and digital biannual magazine for personal website owners and those interested in using the internet as a means of self-expression, art, and recreation."
Carpoolers
Alejandro Cartagena's photos show how carpooling is practiced by workers in México.

"What is the psychological cost of knowing that your actions aren’t just your own, but create information that can be observed and analyzed by others? As more aspects of our lives generate digital echoes, they force an ambient awareness of being perpetually witnessed rather than simply existing."
We Bought a ‘Peeing’ Robot Attack Dog From Temu. It Was Even Weirder Than Expected
I've been on a Mac Miller kick lately, a lot of his early stuff. Probably because "... his early work represented the fumbling freedom of adolescence — skipping school, finding a first love and dreams of getting rich through rap." (source)
I hope you have a weekend full of fumbling freedom, or whatever you need right now.
