Voz Memos

Making friends as an adult is hard. As a Minneapolis transplant, I basically started with zero, and now 3 years later, I have built up an amazing group of friends!

In an era of internet enshitifcation, AI slop, and digital fatigue, why continue to participate in internet culture? Why do I keep staying here when even showing my face on the internet puts me at risk of digital and mental harm? I believe there is an internet worth staying for.

From my bricked Nook, to Cyberfeminism, let's talk about why women need to stay online.
