feel called out on what I thought was more or less responsible behavior... when i feel an impulse to cop, "paying" for that impulse by trimming down clothes I don't find myself wearing or feel okay retiring and "Sending them to the curb"
This gives food for thought. I'm also looking forward as the weather turns cooler to bringing out all the knit sweater jawns down in my basement and stashing away my shorts and flowy tops for next sumimer.
haha it's moreso that there's been a post-kondo overcorrection toward "purging" which can lead to rash decisions & regrets -- there's a healthy "library-building" sweet spot shy of hoarding ; )
sounds like you're already doing it with that climate-controlled moisture-free archival basement storage setup you've got going
Thanks for this one- You always seem to (𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓬𝓬𝓪𝓫𝓵𝔂) take my thoughts and throw them down into some digital type. This one caught me nicely- The past two years or so I have been taking what little free time I have and being more intentional about it... drawing, reading, writing, etc. Stepping away from my constant computer usage (forced upon me by Big Academia) and phone usage (Big Societal Norms) has been amazing and I am happily actually reading the books on my bookshelf (right now: Just Kids by Patti Smith).
Big thanks to BBSP for tha constant swag, both physical + mental (these are certainly not mutually exclusive).
amazing !! someone else wrote in talking about busting out a sketchbook during BIG BUCS sessions... i might gotta try that myself and reconnect with my non-photoshop artistic passions; )
I mean, tons ! We get the weekend NYT and the Sunday magazine is great, as is T, their style mag ; besides big generalist publications like NYT Mag, the New Yorker and New York there’s Pin-Up, about design; Jacobin, about left politics; 032c, about fashion; a great idea is if there’s a good magazine store or newsstand near you, go browse and pick up a bunch of intriguing things you’ve never looked at before, and spend a long delightful time working your way thru the haul
Just when I thought I could never love Papyrus. Well done.

Thx for the kind note
This is one for the (intensifyingly digitized and consumeristic) ages
Any reccs for magazines? Been trying to read more in hard copy lately (except the 'Sletter of course!)
