Dead Ends Daily
All my hobbies are analog, my phone is t-9, I make letterpress manifestos deriding technology, and now I'm learning how to code?? Does someone have a map?
Dead Ends started a couple years ago as an abandoned wordpress turned abandoned substack turned abandoned zine series turned aspirational press, but having a label for all my rough drafts and shitty art helped my creative practice in a way that monetized tech platforms never could. The freedom to make shitty and forgettable physical copies that anyone can read or toss in the gutter allowed me to develop a consistent creative practice and connect with other working class creative people that has mostly not translated to digital platforms.
So this is kind of my last experiment of what happens if I drastically change how I'm engaging with technology, because I'm not going to find that community on instagram or substack or wordpress or carrd, so maybe I could create one?
(I also have crazy writer's block rn so I'm really hoping no one's reading this.)
