“Our toddlers speak of plants and animals as if they were people, extending to them self and intention and compassion—until we teach them not to.” Robin Wall Kimmerer

Whenever he is subjected to any situation he does not like (hair washing, diaper changing, being put into a car seat) my toddler just declares “It’s done!” and this is the energy I’m bringing to every bad meeting from now on.

I’m trying out a new productivity technique. It’s called the “crappy pomodoro method.” Here’s how it works: You put your kid down for a nap, then try to cram as much work as humanly possible into the time before he wakes up. Didn’t get it all done? Try again tomorrow!

“It would seem that the current move toward depth of color and vibrancy, and away from the minimalist, sensible Kinfolk taupe of the years leading up to the pandemic, is nothing short of a summoning for joy…” departures.com/style/colorful…

Our parents were potpourri-loving maximalist clutter freaks so we reacted by painting everything that could be painted white, and everything else we made clean and slick, and now we have to admit: we went too far. Our spaces are charmless.

The comments are full of things like “you should’ve had them give back to the community” suggesting college students “already do plenty for themselves” and it just hits home for me how much we as a society can’t tolerate people just enjoying themselves.

"Joy is not scarce. There is no natural limit on it. It is not a zero-sum game. When we’re joyful, we increase the chances of those around us feeling joyful as well." Ingrid Fetell Lee aestheticsofjoy.com/2022/10/29/why…
