Libra.re – A website version of one reader’s personal bookshelf. I love this way of digitizing the act of visiting a friend and poring over their shelves. Via Kristoffer Tjalve’s “Personal Website Libraries” Are.na channel.

Radicals Radicants Epiphytes Parasites – Love the multi-colored masonry style of this site which “documents the ongoing research by Laurie Cluitmans ‘On the necessity of gardening.’” via Arianne on Substack

The Tyranny of Taste – “Taste isn’t innocent. While taste may seem subjective and individual — one person’s trash is another’s treasure — it also reflects existing hierarchies of power. Operating within an increasingly global and connected world, designers are challenging long-established definitions of how design looks and behaves.” Via Fuse

Tooooools – “Free minimalist and lo-fi effects for image and video processing online.” Love the dots and dithering options.

Queering The Map – “A community generated counter-mapping platform for digitally archiving LGBTQ2IA+ experience in relation to physical space.” Via Taking an Internet Walk

Syllabus – An archive of articles on various subjects, structured as syllabi for extended learning. “Syllabus was born from a conversation about discovery and learning. In discussing the ways that cultural artifacts travel through a society, we imagined how a syllabus could function as a creative tool that allows you to do things like: i. present what you feel is important for others to experience or consume;  ii. group items together in ways that shade and refine their meaning;  iii. apply a conceptual or idiosyncratic approach to the syllabus form; iv. develop rogue pedagogies.” Via Naive Weekly

SDS Server – Obsessed with the whole vibe of this indie web host from Strike Design Studio. “This internet box, hardware, or server and the site(s) stored within are physically hosted in my living room on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Yunohost.” Via Polina Lobanova

Outdoor Index – “A personal archive of completed hikes,” by Donica Ida

How It Is – Sarah Thankam Matthews on authoritarianism, paying attention to the current moment, and the importance of reaching out to your representatives. “Without intervention our institutions will hollow out so that when we turn to them to catch us—in times of economic need, natural disaster, health vulnerability—more and more of us will fall through the cracks and into the depths of the American underclass.”

Dither It! – A web application for creating dithered images, a way to reduce image file sizes that looks ~cool~.
