A lot of my time here has been spent writing. Writing and editing text has always been something that I enjoy, but (except for a three-month internship in journalism), I never focused on it much. Since I find myself doing it regularly, though, I would like to do it more intently.

Since I find myself writing in many different contexts and settings, I would like to do it more intently. Both narrative texts as well as non-fiction is interesting to me.

For the first few weeks of XPUB, reading texts, learning about new tools, and documenting everything has been all I did. I was longing to actually ''make'' things, and was excited to start tinkering with writing machines. I have long been interested in surrealists methods such as automatic writing and exquisite corpse, and I started noticing writing machines in the wild, and had lots of fun making my own. One thing that I did struggle with though, was finding meaning (beyond “I had fun“), in the texts produced.

Making zines has been part of my practice for a long time. What I love about it: It is a very quick mode of publishing (if you want it to be—I tend to overthink the process), and there is a physical object to hold and distribute. During the last two Special Issues, I learned a few new things about zine-making and me: Command line tools are awesome! Pdfbook2 and weasyprint simplify tasks that I used to spend a lot of time on. And—making zines together is the most fun!

Before I came to XPUB, I had vibe coded most parts of all the websites I made. I was determined to actually learn HTML and CSS during my time here, but I am rarely finding the time to sit down and write code. These pages are what I made during SI29—very simple, but made without AI. That does not mean that I wrote everything from scratch, though. I got help from others, or used existing code snippets found on the web.

notes on SI28, SI29, and workshops I attended—all squished to fit

A lot of my time here has been spent writing. Writing and editing text has always been something that I enjoy, but (except for a three-month internship in journalism), I never focused on it much. Since I find myself writing in many different contexts and settings, I would like to do it more intently. Both narrative texts as well as non-fiction is interesting to me.
