    1707 || stop assuming "it" is inevitable Feb 24, 2026
    Show notes

    There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people’s thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.

    What leaps out from the history of the past hundred years is its utter unpredictability. - Howard Zinn

    1705 || stop running from the feeling Feb 21, 2026
    Show notes

    The source: Feel your feelings


    "This zine is all about why it’s important to cultivate the capacity to stay with our feelings, and how we can go about doing that. Hopefully working through the zine will help you to figure out your own emotional landscape (which feelings you tend to prefer, and which you tend to avoid). It’ll also give you several possible practices for learning to stay with your feelings. Different things work for different people so it’s all about figuring out what works best for you."

    1700 || beg change from a world that needs some Feb 16, 2026
    Show notes

    title credit: Alkaline Trio or read today's episode, here.


    The only thing that has helped me to stop doom scrolling was remembering that worst people in the world want me to doom scroll.


    We've become inundated and confused and overwhelmed and scared. And that's by design.


    They're banking on us disconnecting. They've invested a lot in forcing us to tap out. I don't like people telling me what to do and how to think. You're gonna buy in sometimes, but when you realize it? Resist that shit as hard as you can.


    Action is the remedy to hopelessness. Hope is a verb.


    Someone once said, if you’re scared to lose your life you already have, and that stuck with me.


    If we want real change in the long term? That requires us to be comfortable changing something now.


    Things don’t change unless I do, and if I’m being honest with myself? It’s beyond time for a few changes.

    1698 || PRIMING || dynamic pricing Feb 14, 2026
    Show notes

    What is the most you'd pay for lunch? What about baby formula? What about an uber home when your battery is on 1%?


    Those numbers will be different depending on your mood, location, and personality.


    Dynamic Pricing is a way for companies to exploit us out of the most possible money, by creating a personalized "profile" they can use to manipulate you into more profits.


    This is a form of priming that we all need to pay attention to.


    Watch: RONAN FARROW ON DYNAMIC PRICING.


    “The world makes much less sense than you think. The coherence comes mostly from the way your mind works.” - Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow
