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.

Strength and Hope Amid the Year’s Cold Start
This year has started hard. There's a line from the Mountain Goats song 'Cold at Night' that I keep coming back to.

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.
