my week in objects (mostly).
water, wood, roots.
1. this jar of water.
{and my thrice-annual avowal to properly hydrate.}
2. this stack of thank yous.
{and writing them ahead of time.}
3. lemonheads.
{for being just what the doctor (literally) ordered.}
4. basil roots.
{and potting them.|
5. this keyboard stand.
{and finally flagging down the right human-with-tool for the job.}
other things:
let me drink to a better world.
ConEd is not interested in whether i feel inspired.
lived experience that simmers right beneath the surface.

Loved the tips in the “making a smart phone dumb” piece! For the last few months, I’ve been using a “brick” (https://getbrick.app/) to accomplish my goal of getting sucked into my phone less, and it’s been amazing. It’s not free, but the physical nature of it has been exactly what I needed. I run a forest school program, so I am out in the woods all day and my smartphone is essentially my work computer and very much required to communicate with families, parks employees, etc. Wanted to plug the Brick in case anyone else is out there who hasn’t yet found a solution that works for them!
I looooooove the fabric composition essay. What a useful piece. Thank you so much for sharing!
