The case for a small corner of the web
On personal websites, slower spaces, and making something that feels like your own.
wuxia's purgatory
01 / hello, stranger
A place for things I’m thinking about.
This is my home on the web: a collection of writing from Substack, a notebook of project ideas, and a place to keep the things I want to return to.
Some things are finished. Most things are still taking shape. Have a look around.
Thanks for stopping by, — wuxia

Unfinished is a perfectly good place to start.
