A huge collection of articles and online posts I thought were interesting at some point in my life. These are pulled from a folder in my browser bookmarks called "Thoughts", which is actually more of an "unsorted" folder, to be perfectly honest. Who knows what you might uncover in here?
The goal is to facilitate random exploring and have you interact with things you wouldn't normally think about. However, there are tags next to each link so you can use Ctrl+F to seek for specific topics if desired.
(Obligatory note that these are third party websites and I claim no responsibility for tracking, comments sections, or any other bad stuff you might run into when you click into these sites.)
I hope this exploration is a happy one for you.
