March 29, 2021
Hipsters have a lot of flaws, but I trust their coffee. When it comes to shokuninism around coffee, hipsters have it down, because 1) they both care too much about the small things and 2) have a palate for discerning the smallest differences (or so they say), but also because 3) they're usually shiny rich hippies and thus more likely to experiment with things like plant-based milks and 48-hour brew times (they also have the time and money to experiment with this).
So, in a way, these people with either highly refined palates or with the means and time - or both - can serve as vehicles for the rest of us to experience coffees and coffee preparations (like flat whites, hipsterest of hipster coffees) from plantations across the world, smooth velvety oat milk in our coffees, and in a city like Mexico City, an overall 10/10 coffee experience for a not so high price.
I don't trust hipsters when it comes to their overpriced art, but I do trust their snobbery and quest for the best when it comes to coffee.

Pressure cooker art
March 18, 2021
Creation is different for everybody. What looks like a workflow for one person may flow more organically for another. The firm bind of a structure that helps one person write or create may feel like a noose for another person.
It’s ok to do things your own way. It’s ok to be in the moment and absorb it, put your camera away, put your publishing mind away. It’s healing to rest, to be, without the pressure to create.
If the safety of a rope helps you, good for you, but if it wears you out to constantly running towards something in a bid to honour your public fiction of being a creator, let it go. No one needs to be turned on all the time, creating all the time.
That’s capitalism. Not art.

What I really think when people in tech say they write publicly as a \\\"forcing function\\\"
April 05, 2021
(See title first) All the technical advances in the world couldn’t save your self-worth from being determined by capitalism and the opinions of others around you. Maybe that's easy for me to say because the only approval I really care for is my own (intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation), but isn't life a long learning of how to trust our own selves, of figuring out how to listen to and be guided by our own inner voices?

You are not your thoughts, you are the space between your thoughts.
(Monk Haemin Sunim, Ten Percent Happier podcast)
When you think of that empty space, do you shrink away? Or do you hold your face up to the light with love, letting a glimpse at the ultimate core of being burn your retinae? One is capitalism, that teaches us to fear the empty spaces and blank pages. The other is meditation, that shows us how to look at things from a place of curiosity and love. Which one do you choose today?
