🆕 on Karsh Writes: Sunday Asides #77 - https://karsh.weblog.lol/2026/01/sunday-asides-77
This cinematic film still features an elegant older woman with long, wavy silver hair and a cream-colored coat with a plush faux-fur collar, looking toward a man whose back is to the camera. She wears a brown blouse and gold hoop earrings, her expression one of firm expectation or slight impatience as she speaks. At the bottom of the frame, white subtitles read, "Don't make me late." The lighting is soft and warm, characteristic of a high-end television drama, set against a neutral, sophisticated interior that enhances the scene's mood of domestic urgency.

The government really just turned the food pyramid upside down and was like "well my job is done".

America’s new dietary guidelines ignore decades of scientific research
An emphasis on fruit, vegetables, and whole foods is welcome—but it’s wrong to suggest steak and beef tallow should be prominent.

🆕 on Karsh Writes: Sunday Asides #76 - https://karsh.weblog.lol/2026/01/sunday-asides-76
A vibrant vision board on a brown corkboard is covered with various magazine cutouts, phrases, and graphics pinned haphazardly with silver staples. The collage features inspirational and lifestyle-oriented text such as "The One and Only," "THE GOOD LIFE," "Peace," "LEGACY," and "Hold On to Your Smile," alongside travel-related snippets like "Vacation" and "Exciting Escapades." Centrally located is a graphic of four battery icons in varying states of charge, with the fullest green battery showing two figures helping each other climb to the top. The overall style is eclectic and aspirational, capturing a DIY, motivational mood focused on personal growth, financial health, and future adventures.

In other news, I landed a new VO gig today to close out the year. I fell way short of my revenue goal this year because I spent so much time hustling for FT work though.
