Or at least use @bookshop-org.bsky.social instead of Amazon if there’s not a shop nearby.

My new year’s resolution generator for @theguardian.com. Let me know what you get!
Title: Still haven't made a new year's resolution? Let us help you generate one! Image: a diagram which asks you to input “The year of your birth added to the number of pets in your home”, “The number of days in the current month plus your shoe size” and “The sum of the first three digits in your telephone number” which will seemingly make a random resolution but actually always* makes “support your local bookshop”. *Unless you have size 68 shoes or a negative number of pets or some other nonsense in which case you will get the silly outcome you deserve.

A great take on why planning and org alignment aren't great enablers of velocity, instead they're ways we cope with a lack of velocity. tidyfirst.substack.com/p/slow-deplo... Thanks @kentbeck.bsky.social!

…Rosanna Spearman had been a thief, and not being of the sort that get up Companies in the City, and rob from thousands, instead only robbing from one, the law laid hold of her…

This. 💯. Enable others to do great work instead of preventing them from doing things in order to protect your fiefdom. Thank you for a great read @mcfunley.com!

Anyway, good morning from this evergreen quote from a guy we teach the kids is a great American hero
Frederick Douglass quote from 1857: Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power conceded nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

Random idea: What would happen if you invoiced companies for the time you spend dealing with junk mail?

Current pastime: reorganizing side projects. Should it be ent/generated or generated/ent? Will report back after I’ve tried all permutations.
