How to Find Meaningful Art in 2026
Will recently shared a piece exploring music discovery in the age of algorithms, hype cycles, and curated virality, alongside a really thoughtful guide to finding meaningful art outside of recommendation feeds and trend culture.
It’s a very good read for anyone who loves music, criticism, playlists, labels, soundtracks, or just thinking deeply about the things they consume.
Cage Against the Machine: A Tail
Alex recently shared the story behind a playlist originally created alongside the Shark Cage program, using music to communicate the kinds of emotions and experiences that can be hard to explain out loud.
What started as hours of grief, trauma, and self-indulgent sad songs slowly evolved over time, eventually making room for healing, connection, humour, and small sparkly moments of hope too.
Pottery funsies
Triona recently shared with us about doing pottery purely for enjoyment, not to improve or become “good” at it, just because it feeds their spirit. They spoke about the freedom of making weird little art, giving cringe gifts to friends, and creating without pressure or goals attached, and honestly, we loved that a lot.
From Mind to Body, and Home to Me Again
In this deeply embodied reflection, Charlee Yara-Vines explores autism not as a diagnosis on paper, but as a lived reality — felt in the body, shaped by masking, and reclaimed through listening, rhythm, and care.
The Difference Between Worms and Humans: A Study
Through humour and chaos, Alex compares humans and worms, revealing an uncomfortable truth beneath the surface and the quiet ways we make sense of it.
Barbie Fever
The release of Autistic Barbie sparked excitement, criticism, and plenty of big feelings. As someone still finding their feet in the neurodivergent community, Alexis Van Fleet reflects on what this moment means — for representation, identity, and the possibility of building more understanding between autistic and neurotypical worlds.
