Having a random Sunny Day right now in Berlin before the winter grey fully descends is like seeing an infirm older relative and not knowing for sure if this is the last time or not. 🥲

What's up, bsky? It's been ages, and it seems like now is the most appropriate time to return since everyone loves how things are going here now.

“That’s the real tragedy of the human experience: Within each of us, we hold the keys to our own freedom, yet we refuse to open the door."
Wanting & Capitalism
Is Capitalism keeping us trapped in our own comfort?

Feels like the American experiment has about a month left before we cancel it.
The pace at which things are going downhill is absolutely shocking.

I recently left Berlin to walk to Portugal. I wrote a blog about my leaving process and my decision. I've already walked 200km and i have ~3300 to go.

When are you leaving?
I'll see myself out!

I find myself caught between the idea that the most radical political act is to disconnect from the current news cycle as it just causes noise and sadness in our lives and the idea that we find ourselves in a truly desperate political moment that requires all courageous people to pay attention.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”
My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

I grew up and lived in LA for 20+ years of my life. To see my childhood home on the verge of being burnt down in a single day is entirely sobering.
Honestly I wish I could say it is a surprise. For a long time already I felt like nothing in LA is safe from fire.
I hope at least the people are. ❤️

To me this bodes well for society at least. If people are paying attention they are seeing things clearly. Just have to help everyone else see.

I followed this guide to set up my own Bluesky server, and if you are marginally tech-savvy, I'm sure you can as well! It was a fun little project.

As someone choosing the life of the human being in this story, I found this to be a very sobering piece. There was beauty here at the margins of a challenging existence. I don't think it has to be this way.

Hi blue sky, I'm happy to be here. A little bit about me:

I quit my job as an Engineering Manager a month ago.
I'm currently in the process of getting rid of all my belongings and finishing up work.
I plan to live out of a backpack and wander around Europe with my dog for a while.
