“It feels like the internet needs a restart in some way. It's sad that all good websites turn to crap because of new owners coming in with bad ideas.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
LOCAL INTRODUCTIONS w/ Rachel & Saskia @ Public Goods Market
“Working with other talented makers and artists in the community is an absolute joy! We cherish every opportunity we get to collaborate and create something truly special together.”
LOCALLY RECOMMENDED W/ MADDISUN
“Manifesting, journaling, affirmations... I put out what I want into the universe and basically trust that the good and amazing things happen to me when I’m living completely in alignment with my true self.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AUDIO ANTIHERO
“Get a bird. They are lowkey terrible pets. Impossible to please. Messy. Noisy. But so great. And so pretty! And stupid!”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ RAVELOE
“Find your own little rituals and totems. I've started embroidering and I find it good to have an activity that I can find meditative and calming.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ COLIN JAMES
“I’m not one to preach about what one should or should not do, but, for me, cycling daily is my thing. Across the bridge and around Stanley Park or a fuller 40k ride always sets my mind straight.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JOE KAPLOW + SMALLSONGS SESSION
”Burn your TV, read a book!”
LOCALLY RECOMMENDED W/ STRANGE 2RUTH
“I think one thing that could help everyone is just to be more mindful with your actions, your speech, and even the conversation you participate in or even just hear. For myself I always aim to try and take in more positivity because, especially in today's age, with the access we have, it's very easy to paint a bleak picture.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PINK MOUNTAINTOPS
“Eat blueberries and don't suffer fools.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ NATHAN MONGOL WELLS
“If you're ever at a restaurant in a state or country that has a coastline and they have grilled octopus, get it. I know, it's gonna be like 30 bucks, it probably came from farther away than you'd like to think about, and it's gonna be smaller than you expect, but man it's the most delicious meal ever.”
BLAHG VACATION / (MOSTLY) OFFLINE UNCLE MODE ACTIVATED | JUNE 29 - JULY 24
I am going to be giving myself a wee vacation from all of my self-assigned blogging duties for at least the next week or so (as my nieces are coming to visit and offline Uncle Mode™ will need to be activated).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ KICKING BIRD
“Hug your friends hello and goodbye. Life is super fragile and honestly pretty wasted in general. We should be spending a lot more time telling each other "I love You". Everyday there are people that change my life for the better and I want them to know that.”
