Social Media isn’t Art

Q., January 6, 2025January 7, 2025

I’ve been pretty quiet on social media lately. After two decades of daily immersion in online spaces, gulping down other people’s opinions, hot takes, think-pieces, tweet threads and TikTok diatribes (and contributing plenty of my own perspectives) my voice has all but dried up.

Have you ever been in love?

Q., December 15, 2024December 15, 2024

Have you ever been in love? I mean real love. Not just the kind that we make movies about. The kind that transcends and envelopes and overwhelms all senses? The kind of love that pushes you to take risks, and makes you a better person simply by having experienced it?…

Q., October 11, 2024October 11, 2024

In less than two weeks, I’m going to do something I’ve always dreamed about but never really believed was possible (in fact, it wouldn’t be possible if not for the loving support and financial contributions of my friends and family): I’m going to Japan.  An entire month in The Land of the…

This sounds insane to people who are born and raised in the west, particularly in the hyper-capitalist, marketing-infused US of A, where a large part of the economy runs on our willingness to fork over hard-earned dollars…

Blog – 6.12.24

Q., June 12, 2024

A few weeks ago I read this article in TIME Magazine about why obesity is rare in Japan. The whole thing was interesting, and it’s definitely worth considering how the Japanese lifestyle choices differ from ours. But for me, this was the real money quote: Western cooking, he said, is…

Q., June 5, 2024June 5, 2024
