Does anyone have good tools for building websites (CMS or otherwise) that they like to use? 16 December 2025 These are the things that make me feel the most spiritual lately: https://www.are.na/block/41795284 https://www.are.na/block/41674781 https://www.are.na/block/41841905 https://www.are.na/block/41453983 https://www.are.na/block/41155870 ... @capaciouscapybara I guess what I meant in my list was that The Sound and the Fury changed my perception of how writing ephemeral thoughts could be done. I haven't put it into practice much myself. I was inspired by Faulkner's ability to leverage stream-of-consciousness writing to place you into the minds of his characters. For example, in Quintin's chapter, the narrative would thrust you into pages of repetitive lines and ramblings without any punctuation. Reading it literally feels like you're trapped in a suicidal mental spiral, something that's hard to capture without just outwardly saying that's what's happening. I hope that makes sense! The closest I've come to attempting the same with my own writing is sometimes I'll sit on a public bench and write every thing I hear. Just tie together sounds, thoughts, observations, conversations.
