By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the piece on Annie Dillard’s life and recent death. It made me think a lot about writing. About life. How many hours does any of us have left? We spend so much time in unconscious living; engaging in habits and actions we do on autopilot. How much conscious lifeContinue reading “Broadax”

Popped
People love to be helpless. People feel comfortable being assholes. By: Gabriela Yareliz People do a lot without consequence, now. People hide behind their delusions, phone screens, AI slop, and handles and screen names that lend anonymity. People sue others for the decisions they made and responsibility they share. People hate responsibility and ownership. TheyContinue reading “Popped”

Hello my fellow journey(wo)men, It’s a rainy morning here in NYC after some hot temperatures this week. The sun was roasting. The rest of us were yearning for fall.

One of those days where you are a captive audience, and you take a total of three steps all day. It was a sedentary, aneurism attorney day. I am clinging to a poll on the train,Continue reading “A Numb Day”
Back to School
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s back-to-school season. It’s in the air, thick, in NYC because suddenly the trains are packed, and I write this smashed up against a set of train car doors. The keedz are back. FOMO and nostalgic joy take over as we see the footage of game days around the South— college footballContinue reading “Back to School”

Home State Behavior
By: Gabriela Yareliz Aziz Ansari grew up in South Carolina. I was discussing this, and how he talked about being different as a kid. Here in NYC, people have a habit of even categorizing their own ethnicity as those who are from here and those who are “fresh off the boat” so to speak. IContinue reading “Home State Behavior”

“Shoutout to anyone drinking breakfast soda.” Theo Von We have entered the “-ber” months. I ended the week putting a fall essential oil blend in the diffuser. The diffuser is back onnnn. Here is to hoping we soon say: You feel it in the air— summer is packing its bag to say goodbye for theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 09.04.26”
