On a roll. Granted, novelettes make it easy.

Ravn’s ‘The Employees’ was a weird, ephemeral, otherworldly, and timely fictional commentary on human vs. AI consciousness.

Anyhow, just hit my online scrolling limit. Time to move on and find a new read for my solo book club. Any recs??

Here's to 2025...may it offer up all the grace, clarity opportunity, and growth that 2024 failed to give. ✨

Instructions for closing the circle.

1. Sell what you can. Cut your losses + let go of the rest.

2. Leave via a new route (👇🏽CT to NY).

3. Embody the punch drunk line of a cult Semisonic classic from the 90s. Yeah, that one… 😜✨

Saturday mornings are for an hour of mindless (mindful?) scrolling about home libraries and glorious reading havens.
