And then remember to:
1/ Appreciate the thing
2/ Send the nice email
3/ Put up a dang portfolio
4/ Go down all the rabbit holes

Starting a practice of publishing weekly notes. It's too easy to doomscroll your way from one rabbit hole to another without taking a step back and synthesizing what you've just read.

The first note covers:

- Art with AI (Holly Herndon, Mat Dryhurst)
- Nature-inspired design (@wattenberger)
- Intellectual life as peasant woodland (@aworkinglibrary)
- Network history, cultural protocols, online patterns (@kissane)

Are we looking to simply replace Twitter with Mastodon? Or are we looking for Mastodon to show us a new way of interacting with each other?

Time will tell. But I sure hope it's the latter.
