ds #291 yikes, a habit ramble

enter if you dare. i also didn’t realize that little reverse sound effect would be so loud so sorry in advance for the production/listening experience but anywho. lately i’ve been re-listening to Atomic Habits by James Clear and been thinking about how often i neglect my own systems and focus on critiquing the systems of others (yeah, i know. i’m working on it) + a bonus part 2 after i chicken out of going full sherlock holmes on the mysterious noise in another room. yeah girl idk. love you byeeee

ds #285 | filters & compound growth

there are surface filters (instagram filters, LUTs and presets), experiential filters (substances, ego, content, proximity, environment), and underneath everything there are core filters (the code and operating systems installed and hacked into over time, the machine behind everything, the beliefs that hold your reality in place).

joining in any trend (no matter how long standing and innocent it seems) in this era is a risk. i don’t trust gen pop, so i’m not about to join the holly jolly charade and force these weird capitalism lies on a kid in their formative years
