good people share
a low-key music, internet and community digest.
dear good people,
2023 marks seven years of producing a monthly playlist. thanks for joining me along the way. check out the january edition and any of the 71 editions in the archives.
speaking of 2023, one of my favorite (low-lift) traditions is reflecting on the year ahead with a list of what to do more of and less of.
sharing a few from my list, along with top albums, tracks, brands and IG accounts that inspired me in 2022.
and let me know what’s on your list(s).
more of:
making an effort to reduce food waste.
encouraging 25 minute meetings and “nonlinear” work days.
building adult legos and doing pushups.
drinking better tea, more tea, especially yerba mate.
watching shows like mo, reservation dogs, and broken bread.
seeing remastered photos from old nasa missions.
behaving generously, beyond just being charitable.
solving complex things by walking and hiking with dogs.
less of:
public figures who clog our feeds.
never-ending and overwhelming to do lists.
burning more coal than ever.
roadway deaths amongst cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians.
the “disappearing art” of maintaining modernity’s finest achievements.
screen time and selling my data.
obsessing over running mileage.
