The II-II-I:

A tea hole I fell down

I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings about instagram and social media and all that, but every now and then something pops up that is so <insert-category-of-awesomeness here> that I feel like I have to stick around.

This one falls into the beautiful stories about grief and “everyday living” category. Essentially he just gets tea with people and asks them about… times they’ve had tea and such. A lil blurb from this video…

Will: “My last tea bags of the day…”
Val: “Do you want to save it?”
Will: “No, no no no, ah no! Not at all! No!”

She goes on to talk about her mom, and all the cups of tea she enjoyed with her mom. 10/10.

Experiment I’m trying out

After about 1M ads, I bought a brick - it’s that lil (NFC) block that you can use to lock yourself out of different apps. You have to open the brick app to use it, which I don’t like (I sort of thought you could just tap the brick), but overall it’s been helpful. It definitely stops me from mindlessly scrolling a bit, and they do a good job of tracking your “bricked” time, which makes you feel like you’re doing something.

Experiment I’m Doing With Dogs

Ever want to pet a dog?

Too afraid to ask?

Afraid if you say, Can I pet your dog? the person will feel obligated to let you pet their dog?

Just say, Does your dog like meeting new people?

People will know what you’re talking about (💯) and will appreciate the neutrality of your request.

Current Projects

  • A website!
  • A silly little book called: You’re Going to Shit Your Pants… Technically you can buy it here, but I’m also working on self-publishing it into a real book…. tbd.

Quote I’m Thinking about

“Comparison is the thief of joy”

Yeahhhh most of the time.

Sometimes it’s just information. Sometimes it’s like… is it beef or is it ice cream.

Yeah. It’s beef.



Thanks for reading - if you have any life advice, reach out. Otherwise, DM me. Otherwise? Postcard.

​ Have a wonderful weekend, all!

​ Much love,
