Author of The Most Fun Thing (essays) and The Slide (a novel)

pinned post!
in 2026 i'm going to write little essays about skateboarding and life and send them by email to people who'd like to receive them. substack is very bad, metrics are death, and i'd like to write less publicly about these things. DM or respond with an email addy if you'd like to be included!

Art is for people and people are people by virtue of making art. It's a closed enough loop that I really don't think we should lose much time worrying about machines.

Reading, man. It's so sick. Only thing better is reading and then talking about it with other people. Very, very sick.

it's pretty easy to never say "retard," along with all the other words we of a certain age grew up saying because we were dirtbag skateboarders

Quote posting for revenge, mainly, but also to say that, yes, while "amount in the world" is one way to think about at water, another way factors in such things as ecosystems and watersheds and toxicity levels.

My piece with The HTML Review just came out, on a digital and physical walk I'm planning across the Korean Peninsula. It is about a personal project a few years in the making. Thank you to Max & Shelby for being wonderful, patient editors:

Nice visual/written essay by Terry Godier on how material goods of capitalism (phone, appliances, apps) shifted from being products to becoming relationships. This shift is a mirror of neoliberal subjectivity that demands âwork on the selfâ via moral imperatives.
