Atypical Forms of Resistance
I’ve spent months of Trump’s 2nd term thinking about this.
It’s difficult to say why I am only posting about it now. It’s not for lack of ideas or what feels like valuable, dare I say, important information to share.
It might be over-research as there’s always more to consider.
I don’t think it’s the illusion of explanatory depth (which has kept me from posting several essays/posts that felt inadequate… and the reality is I’m simply not an expert in many areas and so must refer you to those who are experts in these fields).

Here’s an atypical form of resistance already covered on Stay Curious:
Reframe this in the context of slowing down and personalization.
Snail mail letter writing is private, personalized, slow correspondence. It’s focused, meaningful, and not about “likes” or lols. It’s not content.

Here are a few concepts I’ll be covering over time:
Slow down
Off the grid
Duration
Friction
Work less
Boundaries
Validation
Mind-body
Thrifting
Phone use
Storytelling
Travel
Surveillance capitalism
Third Spaces
Meal prep
Disconnection
Single-tasking
IRL attention
Slow publishing
[not] keeping up
Meetings
Private joys
& more…
Thank you.
