Some Postpartum Favorites – Baby Not Required – Jack Cheng

I didn’t learn it this way, and friends I’ve talked to say they didn’t either. When as schoolkids we were taught the three R’s of Reduce/Reuse/Recycle, we were not taught that they’re an order of operations. A flow chart. You first look to reduce, to not need the thing at all. Only when forgoing is out of the question do you look to borrow, barter, repurpose, or buy secondhand. And only once that’s exhausted do you pick up something new-but-recyclable.

New to me as well. What we believe in.

Repaired the buttons on my $10 Time Machine in the hopes that preparing my wardrobe for colder weather will actually hasten the commencement of said weather

Coming home | A Working Library

While one of the reasons oft declared for using POSSE is the ability to own your content, I’m less interested in ownership than I am in context. Writing on my own site has very different affordances: I’m not typing into a little box, but writing in a text file. I’m not surrounded by other people’s thinking, but located within my own body of work.

this whole thing is worth a read. Mandy is such a wonderful writer and thinker.

Perfect. No notes.

For those that care, posting to The Cramped has ticked up again in the past couple of days. Assuming you don’t already have it in your RSS, consider checking it out.

Uniqlo is actually good? – cliophate.wtf

I’ve always thought Uniqlo was one of these fast fashion brands, like H&M or Zara, that produces mostly okay clothing. But apparently, they use Japanese craftsmanship mixed with cheaper materials leading to quality pieces at decent prices. Huh, who knew?

Agreed. The embedded video is very enlightening. I have purchased all of my undergarments at Uniqlo (their AIRism line). I’ve found them to be fantastic as far as longevity, comfort, and value. Especially great for travel.

“Berkshire should do a bit better than the average American corporation and, more important, should also operate with materially less risk of permanent loss of capital,” he wrote. “Anything beyond ‘slightly better,’ though, is wishful thinking.”

However, since his February 24 letter was published, shares of the company are up more than 13%, and year-to-date they’re up a whopping 28%.

Amazing.

The Bookshelf Tells All – by David Coggins

A good bookshelf should be full. Or nearly full anyway. An empty bookshelf has so much more to offer the world. It sits like an empty closet, an empty museum, an empty stadium, unfulfilled, not reaching its potential. Trust our strength, the bookshelf begs us, let us show off, baby!

Love this whole thing.
