My pal Saul sent me the weirdest and funnest treat I have *ever* received: A “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream Bucket by Life Raft Treats. It looks just like a fried chicken drumstick, but it’s actually an intricate ice cream creation, complete with waffle ice cream, a chocolate-covered cookie “bone” and a coating of white chocolate and crushed corn flakes! This made me LAUGH!
“Stop trying to be cool. Be nerdy and obsessive about the things you love. Enthusiasm will get you farther than indifference.”
This. Dessert. Makes. My. Heart. Sing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation on friendship.
What a time to be alive and 18! My daughter Ella just self-published her first poetry book. You can read her poetry over at ellajoy.com and if you enjoy it, support this young poet by buying a copy of her book. What other young poets should be on my radar?
And now that it is morning
I’ve lost all the poems from the night.I watched them leave,
pack their bags and go.No way to stop them,
I’m left alone, and with nothing to show,
but my empty page and motionless pen.Until this night, I will wait
for my dear poems return
carrying nothing but fate
and stars in their little briefcases.And as I sit
I would rather chat than
write them down,
because who am I
to trap them in this town?– Ella Joy

Wow, Capacities looks useful.
And if your first thought is, this looks like Notion, here’s a comparison.
“I don’t think we talk enough about the in betweens. The part when you know you want to change something but don’t yet know how, don’t yet feel strong enough, don’t yet know what your first step is. So to the people in the in betweens, don’t be disheartened, don’t give up. You’ve done the hard part. Now just take it one small step at a time.

Thank you Roxane for giving words to this feeling we are all feeling: an age of inelasticity.

I want these AI-Mushroom Sleeping bags to be a real thing. Please!
“Friendship insecurity remains a final hurdle in how I interact in the world, but I’m realizing that if I want close, family-level friendships, I need to act as if I am already in them. Even if it brings me discomfort to text my friend an unprompted update about my life so they will feel more inclined to text me about one of theirs in the future. While most of my friends’ behaviors haven’t drastically changed overnight in response, I remain hopeful that I am slowly moving toward tighter bonds. And my growing friendship with my neighbor is shifting into the type of dynamic I’ve been so hungry for — much to my delight.”

Lovely read about Adult Friendship. Stumbled upon thanks to this thoughtful TikTok.
Wow, this post over on Threads struck a nerve. Haven’t gotten that many comments ever on Threads. So, let’s do it, let’s bring the good old blog-roll back. If you’re still tending to an online garden out of sheer joy of sharing, drop your link as a comment!
Wow, I love this collection of Vintage Swedish Packaging.

Tempted to try Superwhisper!

Thank you Adobe for this wonderful opportunity to talk about my biggest labor of love CreativeMornings and what we are building. Psst… we are prototyping a new offering, called Clubs. For now only in NYC, but soon coming to a city near you.
