dear josh,

another banger as always!

i particularly love this paragraph:

"If you want attention from strangers, though, there are any number of easier ways to get it than by recentering your creative self. You can fall over in public. You can tweet rage-bait garbage like: “Why would I ever read an entire book, when I can learn all the important parts just from the back cover? #lifehack” You can start wearing a big stupid hat everywhere you go. You can commit a series of increasingly audacious heists, hitting high profile targets and leaving a signature clue at the site of each robbery. (Okay maybe that one is harder than getting back in touch with your sense of creativity.)"

always delightful!

love

Thank you for promoting Jacqueline Novak's show. It was such a tour de force. You're a good person, Josh Gondelman, with such command of the ways that others are exceptional.
