I only want to own objects that are beautiful and functional. This lighter by Craighill makes my heart sing.

Cooperation Over Competition
“The next stage of human economy will parallel what we are beginning to understand about nature. It will call forth the gifts of each of us; it will emphasize cooperation over competition; it will encourage circulation over hoarding; and it will be cyclical, not linear. Money may not disappear…
Light On
Well, this put me in a good mood. Thank you Chris.
The Universe Does Not Hand Us Meaning
“The hardest thing about being alive is that we exist as accidents of chance, and the universe does not hand us meaning. Nobody and nothing will give us meaning. We have to make it. And I think love is an instrument for how to do that.” — Maria Popova From a beautiful conversation between Debbie […]
Artist Guridi
Loving these illustrations by artist Guridi. (Whispers: Makes me miss Tattly, the temporary tattoo company I once ran and is now defunct.)
Assume misunderstanding
“It’s possible that you were undermined, endangered, cut off or disrespected. But if we begin with that, then the relationship gets shaky. Perhaps the other person simply didn’t understand.

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
Currently enjoying The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a book that poetically defines emotions that we all feel but haven’t had the words to express—until now.
Evil Wears a Top Hat
“For years now, I’ve just been bored, bored, bored, with evil,”… “It’s just not interesting.” “Evil wears a top hat and it has tap shoes and a cape and it’s on stage and it’s hollerin’. And goodness is always backstage, sort of waving, but [evil] takes up all the energy because it is nothing.” – […]
What Kind of Difference
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” “Hope is not wishful thinking. It’s the dogged determination to do what is in our power to make the better […]

Loving these Eclipse Viewers from 1932
Seth’s Riff’s

The Ability to Be Wrong
“The ability to be wrong is one of the most important virtues, and it is extremely difficult. It should be emphasized in families and schools alongside standard virtues like honesty, sharing, and kindness, starting as young as possible.” – Alan Levinovitz
Collection of Vintage User-Interfaces
Whoa! A massive archive of old-school user-interface screenshots. As a former user-interface designer, this archive definitely put a smile on my face.
We But Mirror The World
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is […]
