I recently heard someone say we've left the era of social media and find ourselves in the era of "interest media." This sounds like splitting hairs, but taking the word social out is helping me process a lot of thoughts I've been having about the current internet landscape

I will never say this out loud in Philly, but I actually like when people play soul music on the subway

It feels really gratifying to finally have my hands on one of these. Back before I even started selling vintage furniture it was one of the first pieces I learned to identify. It was the gateway to it all, like Chicken of the Woods is to mushroom hunting. #midcenturymodern #mcm

I've been trying out a new strategy and dropping items off at auction instead of individually listing everything on Marketplace. It's great because I don't have to take pics, write copy, negotiate, or schedule pick ups. But, I did not account for the stress of prices staying low until the very end 😅

I'm out walking and just overheard two people talking about the modern political landscape and they referred to it as the extinction burst of boomerism

Reading the @garyvee.com book Day Trading Attention during my flight to Chicago. I've had it for a minute but it's been hard to carve out the time to read with all the driving I've been doing. Very curious about the transition to interest based algorithms

Getting ready for my second work trip to Chicago. Off to a good start. The airport is empty compared to last time, and I assume it's because of all the snow. Getting through security took a third of the time it usually does.

Man, I am wrecked. My friends and I just moved furniture from a full tractor trailer into a truck heading down to Louisiana. We emptied most of it and even the driver was impressed with how we packed everything. I'm going to sleep well tonight!

I am definitely feeling this one today. I picked up an entire van load of furniture and had to load everything myself but fortunately I had help getting everything back out on the other end

I wish book publishers would do what record companies do and include a digital copy of the product when you buy the hard copy

I snagged another record cabinet and this one is so cool. It was built in East Germany, so having it repaired will be a trip. I couldn't say no to its history, or that fold out mini bar in the bottom!
