Happy New Year to you! I have thought a lot on anti-self-optimisation this year, including your writing on it, and I expect I’ll refer to your piece in my thing about new year resolutions in the next couple of days. (My substack is Symphonia, at katiecowan.substack.com, since you asked!) And, as for fun leisure projects, I have become seized by playing with watercolours! I have never done any visual art and know nothing at all about it (except, now, the term “variegated wash”, so fancy), but something is pulling me in and it is great. I love the idea of encouraging everyone to find a similar thing for themselves. :) thank you for your work.
Watercolors are beautiful, I'm glad you're enjoying them! In the pandemic, I played with them a bit during long afternoons and found them really fun and with a lot of room to experiment. Best of luck with them :)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Rachel! Love your very original work, and I hope to read more of it in 2024.
I also have a newsletter that I would love for you to check out. If you are into geopolitics, mixed in with a bit of peculiar history of southern Croatia, feel free to subscribe.

Thank you! Yes I love that they are wily, that I can’t control much, especially as a proper beginner. I am enjoying just playing with washes 😌

Thanks Antonio! I subscribed :)
The video cam bird feeders look like fun!
Yes! I've heard from people with them that they're really worth the cost. So fun to catch a glimpse of who drops by your backyard
Thanks Kevin! It was a topic near and dear to my heart, so I'm glad it came across!
