First Timer’s Guide to Hudson Valley & Catskills (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Upstate New York promised all of my favorite things… touching grass, cute boutique hotels, quaint shopping streets, charming farm stands, damn good food, and even better antiques. I am happy to report that the trip lived up to all of my expectations, and then some. Below, you’ll find a first timer’s guide to Hudson Valley & the Catskills. As is always the case with a TTS guide, I conducted an excessive amount of research pre-trip, saw every single location for myself IRL, and whittled it down to

The Best Places to Be Bored in LA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been thinking a lot about boredom and “underconsumption” lately, as I enter a new chapter of my life that (I hope) will be filled with time to be bored.Dopamine culture (see below for some wonderful words from TJ Power) pushes us to seek out constant entertainment and stimulation. We’ve been led to believe that scrolling = relax and unwind time, when in reality - it’s far from it. <a class="embedded-post" href="https://tjpower.substack.com/p/weve-normalised-overconsumption-podcasts?utm_sour
