my media recommendations
i've always found my favorite things directly through friends or other folks' link lists. i love making lists and maybe you love reading lists! if so, this list is a list of lists for you!
personal guidelines
it's very tempting to curate these lists based on what i think is cool to like so that you, the reader, will think i am cool and interesting. i will do my best to fight this urge by using the following guidelines for my picks:
- 1) i like it
- 2) i regularly revisit it
- 3) i think people that are not me would find value in it
- 4) ??? it makes me feel something indescribable
