"Modern man thinks he loses something—time—when he does not do things quickly; yet he does not know what to do with the time gains—except kill it."
— Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

Bukowski’s “The Blue Bird”

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?

Love the idea. Love the photos. Love the design. Love it.

Got a girl crush on: Elizabeth Cotten

I can’t stop pushing play on this. Elizabeth wrote “Freight Train” when she was a teenager in North Carolina. She was later taken in as a domestic helper by the folk music Seeger family where they encouraged her re-discovery of music and made bedroom recordings of her songs. Her musical career didn’t really start until her late 60s. It’s a fascinating story, and one worth reading up on!

Love this.

"The new reality is multiple gigs, some of them supershort (see “The Four-Year Career”), with constant pressure to learn new things and adapt to new work situations, and no guarantee that you’ll stay in a single industry. It can be daunting. It can be exhausting. It can also be exhilarating. “Fear holds a lot of people back,” says Raina Kumra, 34. “I’m skill hoarding. Every time I update my resume, I see the path that I didn’t know would be. You keep throwing things into your backpack, and eventually you’ll have everything in your tool kit."
