Who would’ve guessed 😂 Oh my god, I’m deep in the Stone in Focus comments section and in my emotions… Seeing exactly how music makes people feel, especially with such a “simple” song like Stone in Focus, is so staggering. People are entire worlds

The bedroom pop guitar, the harshness of the beat, the repetition of the riffs, Antwon's voice rough and echoey over it — all sounds like leaning out of a car driving through a town you knew when you were a different person and thought life would be different; it's summer and you're wondering when everything fell apart There's an inevitability to the grief in Antwon's forceful delivery and the constancy of the guitar and the beat: "you seemed so sad, I felt the same / I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change", all delivered as facts. No illusory hopes, no wishing it away, no positive spin. Only an acknowledgement of the sadness and its gravity — a recognition poignant in itself because sometimes all we want is just to be heard, to be seen Feels dumb to say (because surely it's the point of music) but I love a track in which the instrumentation and production add a vital layer to the story being told that couldn't be expressed any other way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip6P1do1__c

For non-fiction where each word matters, look for: 1. Texts that take storytelling seriously — • The Power Broker by Robert Caro • Annals of the Former World by John McPhee • 1453 by Roger Crowley 2. Texts that take arguments seriously — • Philosophical texts • The Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander 3. Texts that take language seriously — • Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton • See #5 below 4. Texts that understand there is no hard distinction between the factual and the mythical — • Memories, Dreams, Reflections by Carl Jung • Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje 5. Different styles: memoir, letters, essays — • Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke • A Lover’s Discourse by Roland Barthes • And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos by John Berger • Still Life with Oysters and Lemon by Mark Doty

I made an Underrated Casters list (sub 5k followers) it’s WIP Honestly, I’m a big fan of a lot of people in this list, and I’ve met a few of them IRL (or URL) as well https://warpcast.com/july/pack/Underrated-Casters-drmpj0 https://warpcast.com/july/pack/Underrated-Casters-drmpj0

great point, totally agree — even the realisation that, if the outcome of an interaction is somehow bad, it's not the end of the world and it's just a chance to improve for next time can be enough to make the dynamic and feedback spin into a positive loop instead of a negative spiral

I love that; I had a similar shift in wanting to know more about people and feeling the excitement rather than anxiety! Felt like a shift from looking inwards and being concerned about myself to looking outwards and being interested in others / the world. I wonder if that's something that people who seem more socially inclined might do naturally, and maybe that's part of the key to unlocking people skills — it's possible for everyone to do it and get there

Oh no way, so cool Korea has the same thing! 😄 We’ve got a chocolate bar called the Crunchie, which is a block of honeycomb in chocolate, and Hokey Pokey is also a classic ice cream flavour in NZ. Is there a similar product/treat in Korea, or is it more something that people make at home?

I grew up with Whittakers in NZ! Unique ones worth trying: coconut, Hazella, Hokey Pokey crunch, berry and biscuit, and peanut slab (the most iconic Whittakers product and my fave) I also enjoy the artisan sea salt & caramel ones and Wellington coffee but you could probably get similar flavours from other brands

Hey everyone, as you know, I'm a music supervisor and a huge movie buff. So, along with NFT stuff, I'll be dropping some film recs here too. Today, check out "Aftersun" by Charlotte Wells. It's a super touching film about a dad and daughter trying to connect. It's got this amazing mix of closeness and loneliness. Trust me, it's a film you won't forget. cc: @janna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOCwr17kDfk

thinking about Wim Wenders' film, Perfect Days (2023), and how it walks the delicate line between (1) extolling the virtues of presence and attending to one's life with care and love, which can turn the most mundane of routines into joy and become our salvation, and (2) portraying how the architecture of a perfect routine and an existence seemingly shorn of the past can also be an illusion used to suppress or escape from things too painful to address
