What I'm Learning
Not because Tuesday needed a post.
Most “things I'm learning” content is proof of life for an algorithm, three sentences shaped less by an idea than by whatever the feed rewards that week. I've tried to keep this from becoming that. If something's here, it's because it actually changed how I think about a thing, not because Tuesday needed a post.
Networking is Net Worth
Monday, Wednesday, Friday is networking, though I'd rather call it what it actually is: paying attention to people without calculating what they're worth to me yet.
Things I'm learning
Tuesday and Thursday is whatever I've been turning over that week: an AI-generated Monet and what it says about who gets to decide something is art, why marketing now has to work on two audiences at once, a person and the algorithm recommending them things, the lipstick effect and what it actually reveals about spending when money's tight, the fact that most of us have quietly stopped giving ourselves permission to fail at anything in public.
Personal notes
What I built, what didn't work, what I'm still stuck on. I'd rather document the process honestly than wait until it's presentable.
A second feed, for curation
The same instinct runs a second, separate feed on Instagram: things I found and think are worth someone else's attention.
Going deeper, on Substack
A Substack for whatever needs more room than a post allows.
Everything eventually gets organised into a reading list, by topic, not because I've read a lot, but because most of it is worth someone else's time too. The full list lives in the community.
