From newsletter -
"Slowly, we're waking up and realizing Productivity is not our god. At best, it's a cult."
I've had this feeling every time I try a new tool, and I'm always eager to try new tools. But, with time it feels I'm better at choosing the right ones.

“What was so awe-inducing, so mesmerizing, wasn’t necessarily the image itself. It was the sheer amount of time and experience it took to make it… Just a few years later, that sense of wonder is gone.” ❗️❗️❗️

It wasn’t long ago I’d see a 3D rendering or piece of highly detailed art and feel blown away.

If I mute someone on Twitter I wish the person would be properly muted. Forever gone from my feeds.
Some muted people still show up occasionally in my mentions or feed.
And often I see "This tweet is from a person you muted" which defeats the purpose even further.

The Type Lover
You get a little teary eyed around ligatures. Bad kerning can ruin your whole day. A good lowercase ‘a’ gives you shivers. Basically, you’re an emotional wreck, but you love typography. twitter.com/mymind/status/
