I've been slogging through the whole Dune series and I'm finally on the last book. The universe if fascinating but it's convinced me Herbert is not a good writer (but has a lovely imagination). Some entires in this series could have been an email.

I don’t think I’ve ever read sci-fi before in my life, but when they (the industry) announced that the new film adaptation of Dune would be starring my angel Timothée Chalamet, I was like okay… hmm… interesting… My friend kept bugging me to read it and finally I was like, you know what, fine. I bought a copy at McNally Jackson (“gotta do it for Timmy” said the cashier… he knew). At first I was like, what language is this in??? But then I discovered the glossary and started getting the flow. Instantly hooked. The story is addictive and it felt good indulging in something totally new. It’s so not me… but I’m sick of me. I want an escape! I want to be on another planet! Arrakis!!!!

Social media can encourage us to constantly seek out the novel and makes us feel like we're missing out if we don't.
It's much better for peace of mind, in my opinion, if we let go of the immediate, and use impermanence as our filter for information.
We don't all need to watch the latest streaming show, or hear the latest album.
What needs to find us, and what we need to find, usually finds a way

In a world where monopolization is allowed, sometimes you can only drop Trader Joe's for union busting, while keeping your Amazon account.
Real, wide change in this world might require a new 2020, but we can do a little bit better a little at a time
