I think a lot about movies because I process the world through them.
Complex Systems, Storytelling, Linguistics, Education
Ammonites. Grassroots community organizing. Fashion. Ayurvedic wisdom.
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
Improving the world and how to have thoughtful positive interactions with people
Being in a play, regenerative agriculture.
Quantified self
Romance novels, the Colorado Avalanche, houseplants
Being intentional about friendship and future plans (I don’t want to work this hard forever)
Obsess about preserving disappearing interactive media and comics.
Community as infrastructure, third places, alternative modes of connection and communication
That capitalism is breaking us as a society (and as humans)
That fostering community and a sharing environment will put us back together again
That art matters, and should be paid for and funded as much as other work pursuits
That we wear burnout as a badge of honor (and shouldn't)
That even though times seem dark, it's still a pretty great time to be alive
That social media is both a good tool and a bad habit
That maybe I'm not the only one seeking him - he's also seeking me
That chosen family is just as important as blood family
That upholding patriarchal values hurt both men AND women
That identifying joy in little moments is where eternal happiness is found
That trusting the process is hard, but worth it
Woof woof
