just wrote a super personal six-sentence manifesto that gets at the core of how I’ve self-sabotaged with money and work over the last decade

feels very freeing seeing this whole story in one place

ok i think i finally dialed in my hypothesis around manifestos and why they matter so much as a genre of writing

how does this land with y'all?

a wave of sanity and serenity would wash over the world if we all started working towards what we actually want right now, instead of doubling down on the socially accepted ladder-climbing games we believe we must play in order to get what we want some day in the distant future

jonah peretti is really cookin with the SNARF acronym

also, his anti-snarf manifesto goes hard and it's cool to see some larger media institutions fighting back against the enshittification of the internet (even though they absolutely helped create the mess we're in)

can't stand companies that use these lil copy hacks to induce a feeling of guilt/insecurity if you choose to cancel their shit

me: clicks on an article hoping for sophisticated technical/cultural analysis of why substack's increasing centralization and lock in are unhealthy for the creative internet

also me: throws my computer out the window upon reading this sentence
