I found this short video on how to get around the New York subway system useful. 472 stations 675 miles of track 5.5 million daily riders (pre-covid) Express v. Local – usually the local train will be up against the wall, express trains on the inside Uptown v. Downtown – if you’re getting on the […]

Ambient Antarctica
I’m feeling a lot of emotions now. It’s a mix of things that contribute to a marking of time. Hearing the Derrick Chauvin verdict feels like the end of a chapter that started at the beginning of the pandemic (even though I know it’s only the beginning of another chapter).

Alps Raw Run

Kyrö Distillery
Friends from Finland shared this advert for Kyrö Distillery, a Finnish distillery, who gives us a master class at how to introduce the world to their unique line of products. If you’re going to introduce a new Malt Rye Dairy Cream Whiskey to the world, there’s only one way to do it. With a naked […]
