Love the name! I did similar when changing the name of my pub to The Luncheonette - because I'm writing a place for creative and hospitable folks, not only a topic or niche.

So interesting, I'm writing a post about letter writing as we speak, and was supposed to post this week, but perfection got in the way.

Enjoyed yours as always.

It's been a while since I used three pedals, but it's coming back to me quickly.

sorry but not sorry, that wes pearce shit is the most insufferable AI produced corpo-speak crap. the entire industry of these same kinds of articles, complete with ai generated cartoon images, bullet points and "secret hacks" and strategies all while the world burns down caused by (predominantly white) men (and some white women) with the exact same dress code, writing style, content strategies. fuck these people and the oppressive economic models they support.

🤷🏼‍♂️ can’t please everyone. Personally, I look past the bias and see the value in the concept. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying to show up with value that looks at certain topics from a different perspective, which is what he shared in his first point.

examining premises, biases and cultural coding is key to knowing how our valuation system has been colonized and usurped, so i don't think it's about "pleasing everyone" as much as it's about being able to see the forest for the trees and having a critical pedagogic lens.
