We meet again for the favorites! Time just flies. I have added miles of walking to my days. It has come with a combined burst of energy and also deep exhaustion toward the end of the day. Building resistance. Work can be such a little trap that keeps us still for hours. Resist. The summerContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.23.26”

This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26
Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”

I felt like I was in two places at once, working across time zones and stupidity. The southern heat was an intense one, and I am not one to complain about heat. On oneContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.02.26”
Mindset of Control
“She observed how New York is essentially set up to encourage rigidity in people: the city is physically set up as a grid; it requires grind in order to survive; the culture often makes people feel like they’ve never quite ‘made it,’ and as a result it’s easy to forget about pleasure or flow.
