Perhaps our descendants won't care about our monuments. Maybe they'll be too busy thriving in their fusion-powered arcologies to wonder why we spent centuries stacking stones. But I suspect they'll care deeply about whether we had the audacity to imagine their existence at all - whether we could look past our quarterly reports and campaign cycles and dare to create a future for humanity itself.

“Bagging heaters” 🌈
2024 wordsss.com recap: a bigger and better inaugural year than I could have dreamed of :)
launched end of January as "a storytelling studio focused on helping founders, creators, designers and inventors tell more compelling and coherent tales of their work"
really proud of all the work we did this year, but we have so much to learn.
we are doubling down on what we're good at it in the new year, looking to work on more of the same: positioning (and re-positioning), launches, rebrands, website copy, product marketing, and decks.
reach out if you think you could use our help, would love to chat/yap/spew.
and a huge thank you to everyone who was part of our year 1 journey, we are just getting started :))

There are only two horrors.
The first is to be perceived.
The second is to not be perceived.

Inkvent gave me an ink called Wishing Tree on Day 9. It inspired this poem.

Silas was wise for his age. He knew the shapes of clouds and the sounds of birds. He knew when to blow with the wind, and he knew when to stand against it.
we’re all trapped in a game of numbers, chasing fake highs

Social Murder
Chasing the Flame is my reflection on why our purpose is the most important thing driving anything we do
Writing it was one of the most meaningful reflections I’ve ever had because it took me back to my childhood dreams and made me revisit every chapter I’ve written in my life up until now
Through this reflection, I hope to use my story, or at least a part of it, to express and illustrate why I believe so deeply in the power of purpose
I’m nowhere near what most would call successful (yet), but I know I’d be much further from it without the purpose that drives everything I do
Over the years, I’ve come to understand that purpose isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential. It’s what keeps me moving forward, even when the path ahead is unclear. It’s what gives my work meaning and my life direction
More than ever, I now believe that the why behind what we do is what makes it all worthwhile

I started a practice of writing weeknotes a few weeks ago. I've done this for nine weeks so far, and I'm looking forward to keeping the streak going!
I did this because I wanted to pay attention to my attention. It's just too easy to doom scroll your way into different rabbit holes. But by having this weekly practice of taking a step back and selecting just five pieces that I've read that week, it's helped me to create a set of waypoints that I can come back to at any point.
This is the most recent weeknote: https://paragraph.xyz/@dave/weeknote-week-of-2024-12-02
Drop a link below if you're also doing this! Would love to follow along.

We’re living through what feels like a Protestant Reformation of social media. Each new platform — Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky, Post — is its own denomination, complete with distinct status games and hierarchies. You might be a cardinal on Mastodon and a peasant on Threads.
