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)
