happy friday ants1,
On another note, if you saw my post-scriptum two weeks ago, I’m requesting donations. Not to me. To The Bail Project!
Every donation you send until May 16th, 2025 will be matched up to $1000.
Currently, we are at $50! Don’t y’all want to make my bank account bleed?
If you donate, let me know so I can add it to the next one!

icebreaker: “If you walk into a room and hear your friends talking about you. What’s the best thing you could hear?”
my reply: I like it when people feel their perspective change because of me. Not in any particular way. Okay that’s a lie. It is nice when they agree with me after.

A scene from The Resident. Let’s leave all thoughts about Very Special Episode’s at the door and focus on the words.
When the world around me is irredeemable, I am a righteous man.

I worked at a start-up a few years ago. We went under and I was very sad. When I was searching for my next opportunity, I stumbled into this cool project called Culdesac. They were building a neighborhood in Arizona that makes car-less highly communal living possible. I’ve kept tabs on them ever since and would love to visit if anyone wants to come along!

I’ve always wondered what happens when you die. I’m guessing most of you have too. Do the lights just go out? Do you get a enter an intake room like in The Good Place? What if when you died, you could get the answers to any question about your life? Michael and Daniel share their goofy yet melancholy take.

I don’t want to write this week
Hi, I'm Abishek. It's 11:18PM on a Wednesday and I don't have that much to say this week. I wrote up something, but it felt hollow and performative. Sometimes it feels like that when I write. That means I go back to the drawing writing board.
Why am I writing?
I've boiled it down to a few things:
I want to stay in your lives.
I like having a small platform to explore and share work.
Ideas are fun to explore and I want to hear the thoughts that pop into your heads.
If one of the goals is to stay in your lives, let's share.
Life has been quieter and full:
I've been showing up early. It’s nice not being frantic.
I'm hitting commitments with friends. And I’m honest when I can’t.
I call my mom everyday. My dad makes a guest appearance and he sounds so happy, that's brought me a lot of joy.
I share memes with my sister and infuriate her in the most older sibling way possible.
I see my grandparents faces more than I ever have on WhatsApp.
I've seen sides of the city I haven't seen before. I love this place; it feels diverse in every sense of the word.
Somedays I’m hitting legendary levels of friendship hygiene.
I'm working out slowly and steadily.
I'm cooking for majority of my meals.
I'm adding habits slowly and cutting back when I'm overwhelmed. I definitely have had moments of being overwhelmed.
I'm following my feelings. Jealousy can mean try it, fear can mean run at it, and sadness can mean sit with it.
So that's me, checking in. How are you doing? Drop a text or a call, I'd love to hear about you <3
that’s my time,
