Twitter had a significant exodus of left wing and moderates as Elon Musk took over the platform. The ugly parts of the internet were allowed free rein on the platform and plenty of users didn’t have time for that. If you had been raised on a tidy internet of moderation this was upsetting and you […]

Day 1290 and Covid Experiment
I caught a case of Covid at the very end of May that took me down hard. I’d been struggling with “long” symptoms So I tried an experiment. A pretty crazy one at that suggested by my osteopath and supervised by a doctor. I am using going to use a 7mg slow release nicotine patch (of the […]
I am very much beginning to wish I had not watched the presidential debates. I want to say it’s been amusing to watch the different flavors of panic, but it makes me feel a bit gross. Schadenfreude feels like a cousin to envy. It’s a dirty vice you shouldn’t be swift to cultivate in yourself […]
Discussing travel mishaps has become something of a national pastime for Americans. Memorial Day Weekend is the official kick off to summer and I had the good fortune of doing a transcontinental flight. And by and large it went smoothly and enjoyably. It was a record breaking day for travel. I was on a route […]

1189 and The Expense of Choice
One of my most American traits is how much I prioritize making my own choices. I am not contrarian for its own sake, but I prefer to freely align myself with what I value. I don’t make a secret of my revealed preferences and I am not afraid to associate with people who have different […]

Unsurprisingly, 1111 sparks quite a bit of interest across pop culture numerology depictions. The first search results were women’s […]

The tensions have never felt so taut to me. Please forgive […]

Day 981 and American Sportswear
I was doing some fall shopping today. I’ve got upcoming trips for work in the next two months for which I am excited to dress. In my past life I worked in fashion. While I mostly worked with luxury brands, I did a stint in-house at one of the heritage American sportswear brands Ann Taylor. […]

Day 933 and Hot Hot Heat
It would seem that we’ve officially entered the high season of summer that even northern latitudes like Montana cannot escaped entirely. I wish I had the capacity to work out a circadian rhythm that entirely accounted for how miserable long hot days can be even if you are inside in the shade. Siestas and late […]

Day 897 and Cruft
I’d like to tell you a short story about my email. I don’t really check it anymore. Like at all. I would like to have a functional inbox but it got out of hand. How out of hand you ask? As of this morning I had more than 500,000 unread emails in my Gmail. Honestly […]
