There are a lot of different things happening on this blog. I am not sorry whatsoever.
- Interested in reading long-form articles? You can find them on the Essays page.
- Interested in reading short(er)-form thoughts? They’re all on the Thoughts page.
- Interested in learning something new? Summaries of various things I’ve learned about can be found on the Notes page.
- To find other stuff you might be interested in, you can browse the various tags and categories.
What’s the best stuff on this blog?
Of course this is subjective, but here are a few of what I think are the best posts:
- The Nonfiction Spectrum
- How to Be a “Talentless Hack” in Public (but really, the zine is better)
- The Absolute Horror That Is Dressing For Work; or, How to Navigate Dress Codes
- What Reading a Research Paper Feels Like
- My Complicated Relationship with the Visual Arts
- Research Papers Shouldn’t Be Read in Order; or, How to Read a Research Paper
I also wrote a blog post where I talked about my favourite things I wrote in 2024, but not all of them were published on this blog. You can find that post here.
I also think everything on the Resources and Projects page is cool and worth looking at, but I guess those aren’t really blog posts.
What else can I find on this blog?
There are also two series currently running on this blog:
- Some Interesting Things I’ve Read (or Watched) Lately, where I talk about interesting books, games, videos, etc. that I thought were worth my time. These aren’t quite reviews – sometimes I end up rambling about tangentially related thoughts instead – but they’re close.
- Research Reflections, where I talk about things I’ve learned about academic research (actually, it’s mostly about my ongoing struggles to decipher academic papers). A lot of these are about things I learned the hard way (or wish I was told earlier). Disclaimer: I am an undergraduate student, not a professional researcher.
