I recently heard someone say we've left the era of social media and find ourselves in the era of "interest media." This sounds like splitting hairs, but taking the word social out is helping me process a lot of thoughts I've been having about the current internet landscape

I will never say this out loud in Philly, but I actually like when people play soul music on the subway

It feels really gratifying to finally have my hands on one of these. Back before I even started selling vintage furniture it was one of the first pieces I learned to identify. It was the gateway to it all, like Chicken of the Woods is to mushroom hunting.

I've been trying out a new strategy and dropping items off at auction instead of individually listing everything on Marketplace. It's great because I don't have to take pics, write copy, negotiate, or schedule pick ups. But, I did not account for the stress of prices staying low until the very end 😅

I'm out walking and just overheard two people talking about the modern political landscape and they referred to it as the extinction burst of boomerism

The weather wasn't the only hiccup today but it's been mostly smooth sailing even if I've only been sailing at about 35 mph
