Who would we be without the need?
So much more is to be had and said for how much (or how little) emphasis we place on decisions that impact who we are as people and how we want to live our lives. Everyday “accountability,” the infatuation and influence of idolization, and gaining respect for your time and mind.

Doing the thing is trying
What happens when one leans away from the organic? How do we consciously and subconsciously position ourselves in society, from who we are, to what we choose to do? What is the importance of play in “serious” creative pursuits? Where is the line for taking a creative practice seriously? Is there a line?  I’m asking a lot of questions here, but I think the most important one is what does it mean to fail when you try?

The Cause for Process
There’s something about fast and slow process lingo that intrigues me. Whether one’s process is outlined or not is one thing, but the notion behind it is another. Process is a tricky thing to describe, it’s a subjective thing to describe—this episode is mostly an observation of process + time in regards to one-off design, but hey, maybe you’ll learn or think something new if you’re not familiar with that stuff. Graphic Design Trends 2022 Is there a cause for process?

Money Isn't Real
Normalized American™ debt, loans for education for un-guaranteed futures, and the Cashback simulation. Student loan repayment has been pushed, yet again, and I’m buggin'. Thoughts? I’ll give you credit, of course.

Overeating
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole of consumption. I’m tired of consuming, or rather, I’m tired of not decoding... hmph. In today’s episode, I talk about meaningless but meaningful conversation, Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding theory and asking why.  PBS Idea Channel: But Wait, Do We Really CONSUME media?  Analysis of Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding  What have you been consuming?

Hello Goodbye and Sometime Soon
By sharing, we are saying something; by not sharing, we are saying something. Today's episode discusses the notion of sharing, or lack thereof, based on the selective mental process we undergo every day that changes upon one's given context and audience (mouthful much?). How does sharing, either a little or a lot, help or hinder your life?
