Thought 3: I suck at prioritizing my friendships and maintaining connection just as much offline as I do on. The truth of the matter is that I’m a natural introvert, tend to focus on the people right on front of me (my wife and daughter), and always put off even my most immediate community.
Thought 2: Community is built on conversation and connection and it doesn’t matter where or how that happens. Email and text and trading blog posts may not be as… Impactful? …as face-to-face but they all count.
Thought: My online friends are real friends. They come up in my offline conversations. I mention things they’ve said and done (i.e. posted publicly) in discussions with others in the real world. Even things my online friends and I have chatted about via DM or email. Most of whom I’ve never met IRL.
No blame here. The truth is that the results at the top of the ticket are so consequential that there’s hardly been bandwidth to talk or think about anything else… And I’m not entirely sure that was not the Republican plan all along.
Historically, they’ve played a very long very smart game.
Don’t be surprised at all when all of those Republican vote switchers and educated suburban women vote for Kamala at the top of the ticket then vote Republican the rest of the way down thus handing control of congress to them because, well, we’ve all not paid enough lip service to that.
Yes, the dog too…
No matter the outcome of the election, I’m going to kinda miss Harris/Walz in campaign mode because they’ve been fun to watch.
I am went to a party had a couple of glasses of wine now in bed at nine years old, apparently.
Hello Fellow Micro Nerds!
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a wireless Lavalier-style microphone to use with video recording from an iPhone?
Needs to be good enough for broadcast quality but does not need to be professional.
This is important. Thanks, Bernie.
