super specific compliments

The best compliments for me are always really specific. in those moment I feel really seen, and it’s the being seen I think rather than the necessarily the compliment that hits! Three examples: - my producer when working on my EP said “you have a great ear, Nancy” - a guy in my writers group when I’d not long joined told me “the comments you make on others’ work is always a joy to listen to and I always find myself agreeing. you can tell it comes from compassion not judgement” - my boyfriend when we’d just started seeing each other said “i like the texture of your brain” and then made a meme of his shitposting page saying “your brain texture pleases me”. that was the height of romance.

Anti Rec: Everything as a subscription

Everything in your life does not have to be subscription based, and subscription does not equate a service being good. If I’m paying $24.99 a month to watch Netflix in 4K UHD, I should expect to see what I pay for, not subpar playback latency, low bitrate streams, many app crashes, and overall looking terrible on anything that isn’t a 4K display. Remember when you could buy things and own them, like, forever? There is a better world out there past Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime.

keeping things to yourself

You don’t have to tell everyone everything in/about your life, especially online, in today’s online yet frequently data-breached world. Like the great Christopher Wallace once said: Keep your family and business completely separated

Allbirds shoes

I have a near-Biblical dislike of Allbirds shoes and every other Tim Cook Jeff Bezos Middle-aged Balding Pickleball coach ass shoe out there for convincing the public that these were in any way cool. No dude, you look like a loser with these. They look bland and lifeless, like they were concocted in the same boardroom that made the flat graphic design trend that Meta and Google love so much. Hell, even notorious ip-infringer Skechers makes better looking shoes than these. They don’t even feel good to wear. They have no soul or personality and yet some people swear by them. Who are these shoes for?
