Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing change jar
It was strange keeping change from a customer.Β  Bloomingfoods wasn't a restaurant. there was no tipping. At first Drew thought about putting the extra cash into the register. Instead he pocketed it. Figured it would just be wasted if he put it into the register anyway. Although the store always...

Ceremonies as community things as reply to Theater

There is something emotional about ceremonies that acknowledge moments in our lives. Weddings, funerals, graduation ceremonies, the Oscars are all such events. It could be theater for some and an episodic moment for another. Depends on the sweat, tears and blood invested.

Something I'm waiting for

In a moment of inspiration I once challenged GabrielGreco back in 2020. This was back when the two of us were writing on and off on 200WAD. Back before Baz announced that it would be closing. I sold Gabriel on the premise of...

While writing my previous post I realized that I have the ability now to write a whole book about what some might consider nothing. What gave me this idea was thinking about how I could write 50 thousand words about not...

Scoped Artistic Feeling

Since returning home, i've been feeling extra inspired, extra artistic. Each breath I take and step I walk is more deliberate and feelings more meaningful. However, even though I feel super inspired within the more menialΒ parts of life, I feel less inspiration when I face the page.

Yesterday I wrote about how people think they're underestimating when they're actually still overestimating when it comes to making products. I know I did this when starting to work on this project. I told people that I was just doing it for fun and the community but I also had...

People underestimate how much they underestimate

Indie Hackers often use the rhetoric of only wanting to make X money or not needing to make it big, but when I observe their message I think they still don't realize just how big their ask is.

I don't mean the dollar amount. Wanting to make $100-300k USD isn't an...

"No. But I do love them so much more after this visit. But I do not miss them. Right now."

Untitled Shared at Jun 22, 2021

As a society we use popular stories to prepare ourselves for big journeys. I think because we sexualize women too much and also tabooify menstruation that we put a lot of girls through a lot of unnecessary pain. I imagine that it's rare that a girl feels super supported when...
