Ocean by John Butler. It aligns the cells of my brain.

I also put as many of these as I could on a playlist. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yDebBDknLyG84c1eXpPsR?si=eATYV2-rSearyeSfyG54QA&pt=96da93b318a3101e151bd6dbb9abc944&pi=rDJ3vjrBRUe-i

What did you grow?

Graphic design of print on demand products. I started it in 2017 when I was between jobs, put in serious effort for about two years, I still make around $200 a month passively from it. Doesn’t pay all the bills but it does give me a decent chunk of beer money.

I’m now exploring choice mushroom growing, as there is a shit ton of money to be made in oysters and lions mane rn.

And what about the ones, like me, in red states? How fucked are we? (I know the answer and hence drunk and high rn)

Outdoor hobbies. I’ve got really into foraging, which has multiple benefits, I get to be outside, I get exercise, I learn new things which stimulates my brain, and if I’m lucky I also get free food (which is usually superior in taste and nutrition to store bought). I combine it with hiking, fishing, geocaching etc and if I’m alone I sometimes listen to music on my headphones. Once you start developing outdoor hobbies it’s like you unlock an insanely intricate open world video game.

I just recently quit my job and it’s got me thinking about app development around this idea.

I built a spreadsheet for a client that sorts their email into threads and then segments various conversations into a different view based on shipment numbers mentioned in the conversations. But it’s a lot of work to get something like this set up. Am thinking of going into consulting/implementation.

I just quit yesterday with nothing else lined up. Gonna take a WHOLE MONTH for healing (isn’t it ridiculous how ridiculous that feels?) and then figure out my next move. I wanna build an app or something.

We vote.

Oh so he only has two billion? Well, we’re basically equals then. I wonder how he takes his avocado toast…

Incredibly pro trump to the point of starting The Donald style communities and posting old school cool style photos of the weirdo pedo.

Normally I welcome people with different opinions, but I truly believe that people still following Trump are absolutely in the wrong. He is a foul, broken, weird human, and his goals are to fuck up all of our lives (yes, yours too) so that he and a dozen others can have money and power. This is as clear, proven, and obvious as it is reading the history books about prior dictators, so I have zero sympathy or respect for seemingly intelligent people who still support him.

So uh, welcome I guess, you do you, but I don’t think we are gonna be your crowd.

Be careful getting second hand, make sure to do lead tests of anything you buy before you use it for food.

That’s why passive was in quotes.

I did a uni paper on it! I don’t like it as much, it’s a little too whimsical in comparison, but Gondry has a style that just settles my bones.

I make about $1k a month absolutely, completely passively from Amazon. I’ve put in maybe 30 minutes in three years. When I tell people this, they see that passive income is real.

Then I tell them about the years before that, where I spent every second I had making shirt and book designs. I had made a single sale early on and I saw the potential, so I sunk every godforsaken hour I had to spare (I also worked full time) designing and uploading, researching, networking, and pushing. I gambled, grafted, and earned it.

It’s absolutely worth the investment, but I only know that now. Back then it was an insane gamble - hundreds of hours of proper work for ???. I stop telling people about my ‘passive’ income now because no one wants to ruin the dream of freeeee money.

We get inclement weather about once every 6 years. I’ll choose to live dangerously.
