about these noodles
i feel impressed by and grateful for the effort so many people have put into sharing their thoughts and selves with the world, so here's my attempt at the same! my main goals with this site are to help me clarify and share my own thinking, amplify that of others, and find collaborators
so far, apparently what i gravitate towards is noodling about is decentralization and democracy, aka freeing society from rent-seeking corporate control & inaccessibility, and random quotes that i find interesting. but no promises i will stick to that script >:)
this is a static website for maximum portability and performance! the site's source is on github and published with github pages. part of me wants to move that more towards self hosting, but honestly even with the degree of enshittification github has undergone i still find it pretty incredible how much free stuff they provide to the software community and i don't feel that antagonistic towards them. definitely there are higher priority things to self-host for me!
about me
my name's garo, and you can refer to me using they/them pronouns!
i live on unceded Esquimalt and Songhees territory (aka Victoria, Canada)
i like to write about myself aspirationally, so i may write things about me here that i want to be true about me even if they aren't. i'm manifesting!
some of my biggest loves are my family, food & cooking, music & dancing, connecting with the more than human world, and reading out loud!
a parting noodle: the exclamation is the premier punctuation mark because it expresses excitement!
