This happens to us all the time when we travel. Halfway around the world and we always seem to meet someone who lives nearby home.

With the govt shutdown poised to continue for a long time now is a great time if you’re able, to donate to money your local food banks as they’re seeing demand spike (cash goes further than goods donations) and even more beneficial if you’re able to get an employer match on your donation.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft.

The slop is winning.

Trusted the weather forecast on my phone this morning showing me 0% chance of precipitation so I left without rain jacket or umbrella and then had a soggy walk where the sky spit on me the whole way to the office 🫠

She bought the dress at one of our stores several years ago so of course we didn’t carry it any longer. In the end someone from our stores reached out to the manufacturer and they agreed to produce enough of this fabric they weren’t even making anymore for him to have a custom shirt made. 🩷

If you need something to help restore a bit of your hope for humanity I read an internal story at work this morning about a customer who was looking to have a short made for his wedding out of the fabric of his late mother’s favorite dress…

Most of the big price increases are being implemented in the beginning of 2026 from what I’ve seen so far. Some brands/retailers have taken small price increases but the big ones are on the way.
