Hello!
You’ve somehow found my digital shoebox—the home of my [[English language#omnium-gatherum|omnium-gatherum]] of notes, quotes, and miscellaneous research… which is currently a bit of a blend between ‘internet bookmark collection’ and ‘[[commonplace books|commonplace book]]’. And very much driven by my regularly shifting hyperfixation-of-the-week. Everything has been gathered specifically for research/education purposes. Who knows whether this specific blend of eclectic weirdness will resonate with anyone else!
Have fun if you do choose to stick around and poke about. :)
