Maybe I recced about this before, but it is worthy of duplicating. There's a field not far from where I live. Hidden, accessible via a closed off road. You gotta park and walk and know what you are after. I go there to think and read and sit and make coffee. Sometimes bring some printouts and a pen to work on stuff. Now and then I take others. Usually alone. The phone doesn't get to come along.

either going on a hike or just exploring and taking my time somewhere in nature. It helps me to get some perspective and reset. I prefer somewhere with a creek, I like looking at different rocks trying to find ones that have cool shapes/textures/colors. look for national/state forests or wildlife refuges near you! for creative ruts, i’ll do an excercise sometimes where I look for weird shadows or leaves or anything really and try and turn those shapes into characters or just see how my brain reinterprets them. it’s a nice low stakes creative game

if you got some time to spare just stray away from your usual route and take some turns you have never taken before. i did this once and found my now-favourite coffee and a little hidden garden. applies to many areas in life.

I'm not a poem writer, but I do enjoy creative writing and I've found when I'm facing any form of creative slump going somewhere new is always helpful. Taking a walk and observing the architecture(historical context of the neighborhood), sitting in your local library, a shower/bath, visit a restaurant, a park, take a break and go hang out with friends with a notebook tucked in your bag just in case. Changing scenery always does me wonders.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
