A Patch Three Pack
$20
I've watched this absolutely delightful talk from Panic's Cabel Sasser a half-dozen times since it was released last week. It's a story of finding an unexpected world inside, of all places, a McDonalds, and the paths that are there to follow if you look for them.
I can't stop watching it. Part of that is my own personal malaise needing an injection of wonder, another part is because the world and the state of things is so awful that a simple story of finding unexpected joy feels so necessary, but the other part is because the message is one I think all of us need to hear every now and then: appreciate everything endlessly.
So go watch it, it's 20 minutes and worth every one of them.

There's only one word I can use to describe 2025: unrelenting. My contract on the year finally runs out today and so I requested an exit interview with HR.

I've got a feeling / This year's for me and you
I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby.

In a year where so many insist that we take shortcuts, I wrote a short note in defense of Doing The Work.
