Today is our 15th birthday. For 15 years, we’ve built and maintained Are.na independently with no institutional investors, sustained only by our members. We (quite literally) would not be celebrating our 15 years if it weren’t for you. Thank you ❤️❤️

I'm fascinated by the rise of frictionmaxxing as a response to a frictionless life. We engineer away inconvenience, only to discover that some of the friction we removed was part of what made life feel alive in the first place

this needs a little correction, we're less ai than crocs and at least as millennial (derogatory) as online ceramics

there is nothing like Plot, and there is no one like @aliceyuanzhang
Plot 田 is a community space and bookshop in Los Angeles’ Chinatown founded by artist @aliceyuanzhang. Alice has also described it variously as a “rec room,” “living room,” and a “pond” for thinking and making. Read more in our interview with Alice, link below ↓

Plot is an incredibly special place and has really become a source of a very specific something that I feel Los Angeles has been missing for some time. V v v grateful for it’s existence. Alice is the realest!
