Hey there! This website is a fun little project for myself to explore coding but also to preserve digital medias that I consume and I believe are important to share. I try to keep a nosalgic early 2000s and 2010s feeling with this project as it reminds me of the better days of the internet that I miss so much. This project, as in the name, is a digital journal to share interests of mine, other projects, personal blogs (this is my first time doing this!), a digital achieve of videos or articles that I'd like to remeber and revisit, and (academic) pieces of work. These pieces of work are my own and are written by me, so please ask permission before sharing it or using it in another piece of work, thanks!

I am currently a Bachelors student at university studying digital culture. It's very important to me that academics and knowledge is as accessible as possible and not limited to simply only people who can afford to pay for education. Hence why I share academic papers that I have written.
These are MY OWN pieces work, and by no means should be distributed without my permission or without providing credit. I'm aware that some of these pieces of work are not the best written work out there. If need be, feel free to contact me about these papers, I'm happy to answer any questions and am open to any discussions about these pieces of work. Enjoy!
