Feeling like sharing some of my recent finds. I've been checking up on Mochii's channel for quite a while now. She always inspires me to stay weird, silly and creative, and reminds me that you are still cherished and admired when you are...
In January, I wrote about doing a month without caffeine and gave an update one week in. In the original post, I wrote about realizing I was using it to override exhaustion rather than addressing it. I had been relying on matcha, black...
In ‘small thoughts’ posts, I’m posting a collection of short thoughts and opinions that don’t warrant their own post. :) ☁️☁️☁️ Seeing parallels between my mother and me. She used to throw herself into work, regardless of anything....

Currently thinking about how using AI will just increasingly become even more of a class/privilege thing than it already is. We've already established that different groups and areas around the world get access to models differently,...
Last year, I tried out turning my private knowledge base public. I wanted parts of my Obsidian vault on a website to show my growth and knowledge in a space. It was intended less for evolving opinions over the years like a casual digital...
Some time during my on-going law degree, we had an assignment on a slightly altered case based on a real one, had to develop an opinion, and defend it convincingly. After the main part of the assignment was done, we we were divided into...
Sometimes, I think about the fact that society at large could just stop caring about data protection and privacy, and there goes everything that I worked towards and am passionate about. Humbling. These laws are young. Not that people...
