I’ve been using ChatGPT 4o for Jungian dream analysis. I don’t know if it’s accurate, but it feels pretty amazing.

Just donated some books and a cast iron teapot that were gathering dust. Bought years ago when I was in the habit of shaping my identity via objects I owned. Future post: I just donated my iPad mini & Hydro Flask…
