wrote a thing i'm proud of today gets at the heart of my whole project. publishing manifestos is cool and all, but the real goal is for us to individually, then collectively, embody and live from manifesto energy ungated.life/p/manifesto...

"we are all compost for worlds we cannot yet imagine" -david whyte

when you spend years villainizing someone, don't be surprised when they act more and more like a villain

LFG @typeoneerror.com 🫡

a three-egg omelette?? IN THIS ECONOMY?!

jonah peretti is really cookin with the SNARF acronym also, his anti-snarf manifesto goes hard and it's cool to see some larger media institutions fighting back against the enshittification of the internet (even though they absolutely helped create the mess we're in)

jamboree is such a fun word

I'll repeat this The world is too weird and radical for business as usual. Stop using boring trad startup playbooks from 10+ years ago. New rules for new times

this thread is absolute 🔥

today, i will flow like water, yielding to what is firm while maintaining my course. i will trust in the power of persistent, gracious movement instead of force

a cohort-based course on how to grow a 10x mustache who's working on this

I also use this logic when packing, and I'm glad it's not just me

What an incredible read:

A perfect manifesto on perfection(ism). "When you climb the peak of grandiosity, you get to LARP as God for a little bit. And boy, you feel so fucking powerful up there, like you've finally figured it all out. But then...you lose your footing and the facade of perfection comes crumbling down."

i set out to write a manifesto about perfectionism instead, i traversed the valley of my soul, came to understand my own humanity, and erected a cathedral to it the process of writing this changed me. i hope u enjoy it and it makes u feel something ungated.life/p/the-source

the thing i'm proudest of after a decade of online entrepreneurship/creator life is never having run a black friday sale

tucson is shockingly beautiful sometimes

If you like Looney Toons style setup/punchline comedy, Buster Keaton style physical comedy, or both: this movie is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Even crazier that it's a 2 hour, black and white silent film. It is truly an indescribably joyful and silly romp. Most fun in a group.

this album goes unbelievably hard when hauntingly beautiful desert guitar sounds are the vibe 🌵❤️‍🔥🌵 open.spotify.com/album/0MzU9p...

i'm weirdly proud to live in a state that's opted out of daylight savings time (AZ) but if it was rebranded to daymaxxing and nightmaxxing i'd def feel like we were missing out

been playing pickleball with a lot of old ladies lately, and whenever they hit a sick shot i habitually say "slay queen" and they just look at me like "wtf is wrong with this guy"

hereby committing to spend december writing a big-ass thread on why i'm so obsessed with manifestos 🫡

incredibly based

i just canceled my paid zoom account and am feeling pretty great about it truly one of the most annoying and increasingly bloated platforms known to man
