I have been thinking about the privilege I hold in my feelings about September. As the sun feels slower and hotter late into the day. As the morning has a crispness. I feel the familiar buzz in the air of new beginnings. There’s a dazzling crackle. Why?

If you are stuck – you are in a masterclass of learning how you best work. Stuck = an exodus from work; a feeling of being universally unemployable and disinterested in everything work-related, directionless in the pursuit of a career. My lived theory is that you are learning how you best work when the rules are stripped away.

Can you be a taste-making generalist? 💅 I think so. Today I asked ChatGPT: How do I get paid for my taste? And while 98% of it was useless, I enjoyed the prompt: What does my taste do?
