Here’s the new logo - now I just have to be happy with *good enough* and avoid tinkering for all of eternity
A lightbulb on the left with text on the right that reads “Grounded Research & Strategy.” The logo is in real and blue tones.

This was the very beginning of the surge toward Broad Street, before the climbing of the street lights and smashing of the windows.

Everything is fucked up but at least my dog looks like a piece of abstract art, all wrapped up in his blankies

Coping mechanism: seeing Sweeney Todd at a local theater on a Thursday night. It was nice to disappear from reality for a while.

When it’s -5 degrees but you’ve got places to be so you throw on a parka and a smile. This is fine.

My preferred method for coping with fascism: kitchen renovations.
An L-shaped kitchen with the countertops removed. There’s green paint in a paint pan and the cabinets are in the process of being painted green. An L-shaped kitchen with green cabinets and butcher block countertops. The kitchen is being renovated.

Oh, to be young again.
On average, Americans say it takes a $270k salary to be financially successful. Gen Z skews this figure with a nearly $600k minimum.

Fun fact: the 9-5 workday is a product of the patriarchy.

Shocking, I know.

(Posting this while enjoying a slow morning in bed.)

It’s important to understand this: The typical 9-5 workplace model is based on, and benefits, male hormones. Men are on a 24-hour hormone schedule, so their energy levels follow roughly the same pattern 24/7/365. Women, on the other hand, are on 28-day hormone cycles. For women, our energy levels can vary every single day of our menstrual cycle. We might need rest on the first day of our period but feel energetic and sociable when we ovulate. But today’s modern work schedule doesn’t account for differences between those who menstruate and those who don’t. It assumes we can all access similar amounts of energy, day in and day out for the entire year. So a person who may energetically need alone time to process emotions may be asked to travel across the country to present onstage at a conference. It’s not an equitable work model, and can lead to burnout and shame for many of us who have menstrual cycles. We wonder why we can’t just be “consistent” in our energy and our abilities. But we weren’t designed to be consistent. That’s not the point of our bodies. (Or nature, btw.)
