perhaps unfair but the truth is being an extremely annoying vibe-ruiner compromises your message. if you find yourself embroiled in never ending arguments in every room you enter it’s probably worth asking if you are the most effective messenger for whichever ideas you’re attempting to communicate

I spent the last couple of weeks in Copenhagen riding bikes and eating everything I could get my hands on.

The Danish way of life is wonderful and has really made me double down on how I want my life to look. Can't wait to get back.

a man sits at a desk in front of a computer screen Alt: a man sits at a desk in front of a computer screen. He’s Colin, the energy vampire from What We Do In the Shadows, a vampire who doesn’t drink blood, but just sucks the will to live from people.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the problems with modern computers lately. The hardware is better than ever but the problem is the software.

Our devices have become time vampires, designed to capture our attention, often at the expense of our mental health.

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

I've been spending a lot of my time working with react native + expo, and just found out my favorite component library (nativebase) is no longer going to be maintained.

About to kick off a new build, any suggestions on options you've liked that are both properly accessible & fairly customizable?
