The Cult of Productivity

8/12/2022 we lose cohort peeps because I won't give up giving gifs

I’m almost considering putting the gifs behind a paywall — not because I want to charge for them — but we’ve had several people not join or give up their membership because of photo sensitivities — the photo above is what I spent my morning making Thai Style Ramen — mostly veg — from scratch using Vite Ramen Naked Noodles

Which, led to a great deal of house cleaning and being ‘busy’ with tasks — hence the slightly later gate(less) — most of the time — when not practicing dropping thought — I considered our addiction to the cult of productivity — after all — we’ve been bred for the job

We place too much emphasis on getting things done — it drowns out the need for actively doing nothing — a habit I long enforced with alcohol and cigarettes — now that I don’t regularly use — I no longer keep track of the moon as easily

I didn’t realize the full moon was Wednesday — until, I happened to hear a friend describing a cluster of odd encounters with neurodivergent folk — it’s one of the reasons I treat astrology carefully — entrusting those with the deep talent to assay the stars — recommend @GenMystic — for depth

A couple of questions for the cohort — Gifs behind a paywall? Emphasize audio and static photos in the fore and the naseau-inducing behind?

Considering creating another Substack under the drconcrescence.com brand (HA!) — called Lab Notes — far more experiential tools and tricks and experiments for the lab we call our lives — interest?

Much love,
