Map of Reddit


Wow! This is magical: a map of the Reddit. Each dot represents a subreddit. Two dots within the same cluster are close to each other if multiple users frequently leave comments on both subreddits. Created by Andrei Kashcha.

Integrity

The use of the word integrity is in decline.

Libro.fm

Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks through your local bookstore. Choose the bookstore you’d like to support, and they will get a portion of every purchase you make.

(You’re like me and want to get off Audible? You can download your entire library. Here’s a Reddit thread on it too.)

No Excuse Hour

Wow, I love the concept of the No Excuse Hour. It seems basic as a concept, yes I have tried getting the big and important stuff done first in the mornings. For some reason, naming it the NO EXCUSE HOUR hits differently.

1/ The “No Excuse Hour” is the first hour of my day.
No distractions.
It’s one hour of pure focus on the things that have to get done.
No emails, no scrolling, no chatting. It’s just me vs. my top priority. Why?
Because the rest of the day will throw distractions your way.
Get the important stuff done first.

YES!

Cabel Sasser – Panic

What a wonderfully refreshing talk.

“Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream Bucket

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!

Cloud Dessert

This. Dessert. Makes. My. Heart. Sing.

A Cloud

A cloud somewhere near Tucumcari, NM

A Side of Tea and Poetry

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?

Capacities

Wow, Capacities looks useful.

And if your first thought is, this looks like Notion, here’s a comparison.

Artchoke

Thank you for sharing this, Ella.

An Age of Inelasticity

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!

Wow, I love this collection of Vintage Swedish Packaging.

Superwhisper

Tempted to try Superwhisper!

The Name of Things You Probably Didn’t KNow

Turn your Phone into a Dumb Phone

I am trying to figure out to not spend so much time on Instagram/YouTube/Threads… I came across this YouTube in which Reysu explains how he dumb-ified his phone and reduced his screentime. Intriguing.

A Poetic Almanac of Birds by Maria Popova

This must be the most beautiful personal project I have come across in a very long time.

My friend Maria Popova has found her love for birds and Tarot and felt moved to create her own card deck of divinations from the birds. (The deck is limited edition, for her friends only, but it might become available in the future.)

For now, we can bask in the beauty of some of her Bird Divinations and buy them as prints here, with all proceeds going to Audubon.

Maria is a national treasure. I’ll keep saying it. What a beautiful soul.

How to Have a Difficult Conversation

I LOVE Jefferson Fisher’s content on Instagram. I have taken so many of his communication tips into my life. Incredibly helpful. He just recently launched podcast where he dives in a bit deeper.

Vimcal

Vimcal has some super cool features, my favorite is Slots, a super easy and fast way to send someone your availability. (I don’t use Calendly)
