I’ve been listening to her coverage of Trump’s first hundred days, and her informed rage is deeply, deeply satisfying. I like that she comes with stories, history, connections, and receipts.

I’m currently reading Something In The Woods Loves You by Jarod K. Anderson. It’s making me feel kinda the same way I felt when I read Braiding Sweetgrass. Like nature will cure us if we let her. It makes me want to go for long walks in the woods, and not think about all the things.

My sole intention for this week was to live for four days like an animal: sleep when tired, eat when hungry, track any random ideas, patrol the outside environment at least once a day, and stay minimally connected to any static on the internet.
A Good Day In Computer Hell
I sat there from about 10 AM until 6 PM. With one break to pee. No food. I was locked in. I was obsessed. I was making baby steps. Then it wouldn’t work. I’d try something else. Still no luck.
