those sure were simpler times

dude, would be so fun to jam with you on this!!

dude, still figuring out the logistics, but this is officially happening!

publishing on the internet hasn't felt fun for me for a few years, but writing something that'll only be physical feels so intriguing and ALIVE!!

ooh, perdition is really interesting!

also, if you wanna write something similar to break free from a beguiling pattern in your own life, come join us at the six-sentence manifesto workshop tomorrow!

thank u for reading my giant list. if you’re sufficiently convinced that it's time to write your own manifesto, i happen to be teaching a workshop on friday.

we're each gonna write a teeny tiny manifesto, and it’s gonna be quite fun!

49. because your worst sin is that you have betrayed yourself for nothing

50. because you want to respect the person staring back at you in the mirror

46. because you believe in giving yourself second and third and fourth chances

47. because you want your kid(s) to grow up with a model of what courage looks like

48. because cynicism is cowardice in disguise

44. because it’ll stir up vital, ancient energies that have lain dormant for far too long

45. because it will summon your arch nemesis

42. because you’re haunted by the stories of the world you inherited, and writing a manifesto is kinda like performing an exorcism

43. because you’re profoundly, utterly bored

39. because the seeds of the next great revolution will begin in a google doc passed around between friends

40. because you’ve got nothing to lose

41. because you’ve got everything to lose, yet the cost of not writing it is still higher

37. because you’re determined to prove your mother/father/high school guidance counselor wrong

38. because blaming your parents hasn’t been getting you anywhere and it’s time to forgive them and move the fuck on
