I really relate to your reflections on making peace with the level of social interaction and general effort you put in. Over the years, I stopped a lot of things that have interfered with my well being: staying up late, drinking caffeine, drinking or using weed, social media, socializing more than once/week, watching TV & movies and reading fiction. To others this may seem like sacrifices but to me they are FREEDOM.

@scrapheap I really really loved it! It uses such a unique perspective to tell the story and it was very well-researched and realized. I hope you enjoy it!!

Love your Linux page. Mint user here as well, no dual boot any more 😁 (we also use Endeavour and Nobara on our other systems).

Thank you!! I stopped dual booting recently, I never found myself needing Windows for anything. I've been considering refurbishing my old lenovo and experimenting with some other distros as well :)

I added my last few filled Field Notes notebooks for 2025. I already have 5 to add for 2026 but will probably wait until my website redesign to add that page.

Wow, this whole list was so cool to scroll through. I had no idea Field Notes had so many different designs, and it was interesting to see how you used them all too

@ratlands Thanks so much! Field Notes has their standard brown kraft paper books, but they come out with 4 quarterly designs every year, plus a half dozen or so collaborations with other orgs and artists. The variety in the covers is one of the things that motivates me to keep writing!

@hastiesthandiwork I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say that Field Notes enthusiasts call "beating a notebook to shit" a "patina." In fact, "nice patina" is a frequent compliment. So let 'er rip, I guess.

(keeping my work schedule in my lil pocketbook, and letting it whisk up some of my Stray Thoughts, instead of letting my phone do both of those - feels good)

@sneekrealm Using my phone less was definitely one of my motivations for starting a pocket notebook habit. Once I unlock the phone all bets are off as to whether I'll actually remember why I opened it or just get sucked into whatever's on the screen. Notebooks can't do that.

Love to hear it! especially if you have friends who feel that you're less fun because of it. sometimes it's hard to get past that, because you feel like you're disappointing them! but at the end of the day we all have to live our own truth to find that freedom!
