A Good Life

I have a huge issue with overcomplicating the rules I live by. I look for productivity systems to manage my work or philosophies to explain my feelings. I want a scorecard. I want to know that if I tick the right boxes, whether that’s closing my Apple Watch rings

The Weight Is Optional

From the first episode of Galaxy brain when Hank Green is asked about how the internet feels to him: it feels so heavy. It feels, we have a government run by the discourse, and so it feels like the discourse matters so much. It feels like everything matters a lot,

Un-doomscrolling
