Things are hectic. For all my boosterism about leaning into acceleration I don’t personally live that fast. So I feel it when things are hectic. I was raised in some of the pushback from various future shock worriers so I’m a fan of living at a human pace. Because as I said (and I’ll continue […]
I’ve been experiencing several forms of friction over the last week or two. Some of it was a deliberate step back to be grounded and present. I introduced the friction myself to focus on my nervous system. But other things have acted as more of a drag on my days than I’d have anticipated. The […]
I had a series of unplanned excursions today that got slightly out of hand. A hotel didn’t work out and I found myself switching my base of operations. In the process of moving about, I thought to myself “I’ll just have a coffee and eat later!” I fart all the time. It was 10am at […]
I am a good shopper. I know retail cadences and when to buy a product. If you want to know sales happen or new merchandise timing I usually know. I know manufacturing chains, sourcing standards and material costs across multiple categories. I loved working inside corporate retail and consider my time in cosmetics and fashion […]

I’ve been enjoying a bit of accelerationism in my own life. I’ve been pruning attention and refocusing myself and was rewarded with a lot of change. All of which feels good to me. I’m relieved to be happy now that I have steadier days. It feels quite intense out there on social media. We are […]
It’s a holiday in America and Germany today, so this morning I went out to do some semiotic spotting like an elder millennial Cayce Pollard. Just kidding (not kidding). I went to have breakfast at an outdoor cafe and went for a long walk. All imagery shown in this post was captured in service of […]
All the shops are closed in Germany on Sunday. This is a basic fact I somehow always forget despite regularly being in Europe. They are serious about their day of rest. Without the ability to go grocery shopping or otherwise pay for goods or services, Sunday becomes a day for getting your life in order. […]
