I actually randomly missed the quiet of posting on here (almost called it tweeting).

The height of my remote work experience is being in two meetings concurrently 🤣 One in my ear, and one on my laptop. It's been interesting.

Helping raise my nephew has taught me that there's no such thing as a lesson that makes sense only in the future. If it doesn't make sense now, then you aren't teaching it right. "You'll understand when you're older" no longer holds much weight with me.

I'm minding my business trying to work and my son, who's on vacation, pauses his colouring to ask me the deeply philosophical question: "Are zombies alive or dead?"

I've become the guy that spends the day working, and goes on TikTok in his free time. And then sends links to relatable TikToks to his friends on WhatsApp. This is what the modern day uncle looks and feels like, I can tell.

Tried to pin down the owners of a nightclub for an article interview and they asked me to send the questions in so they just deliver the answers. Turns out they handed the questions over to an intern who used ChatGPT to answer the questions. There's nothing quotable in there. Frustrating.

After my breakup, I'm out here looking for podcasts from the (hopefully black) male perspective that talk about emotional part of self-improvement and all I'm getting is white alpha male content. It's a pandemic, man.

I'm absentmindedly doodling while reading and I ended up recreating this from my childhood. We used to draw it on the floor with chalk/charcoal/stone. Then we'd place ten pieces (normally it was little stones vs palm kernels) each on the corners. Played very similarly to draughts/checkers.

This new job's got me feeling really unskilled. And I'm learning that despite my infinite patience for many other things, I have very little patience for learning new things. I need to work through that.

Last night instead of sleeping I was watching haka videos on TikTok and tearing up. Seeing people perform such intense, emotional dance in support of their family/friends just...man. I keep thinking what the Ghanaian version of a haka is. How do our ethnic groups show support/pride traditionally?

Many of my daydreams involve thinking up solutions to our problems as a country. It's as if one of the running themes in my dreams are "What would I do differently if I was president." I'm always content with letting my mind wander as far as possible.

Working on positivity for the rest of the month. I'm going to be intentional about how I look at things. It's going to be a glass half-full perspective till the end of the month just to see if there's any changes in my mood/attitude.

Used to balance my work energy by taking intermittent power naps. Max 20 minutes. Spread across the day. These days it's a dangerous affair. I take a 20 minute nap, and I'm waking up three hours later groggy af. My energy is very low.

One thing I really liked about Twitter was their policy of fighting government subpoenas for account information. Twitter had a practice of notifying account holders when they received a request for account info, which gave us time to find a lawyer to fight the request.

It must be so sad for former Twitter employees to see what the platform has become. Before Musk, Twitter had some of the best law, policy, and trust & safety people. Incredibly smart people thinking deeply about free speech and fighting for users’ rights. And now, it’s all gone.

Coming up with a story isn't easy, honestly. I'm so used to the ease of coming up with ideas that I forget it's because I've been doing this for years so what I think of as "ease" is just experience.

Also, a plug for the New York Public Library, which has stopped making the mugs on the left and started making the mugs on the right (also tote bags & bookmarks). I get nothing from it but pride and the occasional free mug (and tote bag). shop.nypl.org/products/nypl-neil-ga…
