hello friend!
You’re hunched over in your seat and the sound of my monotone voice washes over you. Oh god, the yapper is in my head.
That’s the vibe we’re going for, welcome to Not Long Please Read (NLPR). Every post should feel like sitting with me on the couch as I yap about things from my corner of the world. In each post I try to share things that spark joy, encourage reflection, and push you to do the damn thing! I encourage you to yap back 😀
so what’s the deal? why a blog/newsletter?
Sometimes years pass before I catch up with friends. I was looking for a simple way to consistently share with people I care about. Hence, this!
what are you in for?
Every blog will contain these sections:
Comments received in person, via text, or through direct replies to my newsletter/blog/digest.
update life 📈:
A little check-in about what’s going on in my life.
break ice ⚒:
Silly jokes and questions to try out.
words 🗣️:
Quotes I’ve added to my collection.
read 📖:
Something to read: books, articles, memes. Not always relevant.
watch 📺 or listen 🎧:
Something to watch or listen to: YouTube videos, TV shows, music, podcasts, short films, etc. Even less relevant!
write 🖋:
A piece, ranging from self-help to self-indulgent creativity.
where can I get started?

Bye, for now!

5 For every week I missed before 08/09/2024, I donated $100 to The Bail Project. That totaled to $1000, you can see that here! When I was approaching this blog’s one year anniversary, I also collected and matched donations. This brought the total generated by this up to $1520, which you can see here!
