On writing
The shelves tell me about who I’ve been and who I want to be, and they tell me that I can be easily broken down into categories, and it strangely doesn’t feel like a bad thing: It feels clarifying. There’s also a good tension in figuring out where my research ends and I begin, and noting the juicy spots where these meet.

Books are disruptors. Books are questions. I’m not talking about How To Manuals that pretend to give us answers. I’m talking about the noisy row that breaks out in our heads when we have to think past ourselves

The world has lost a visionary today. The director David Lynch passed away today at the age of 78. He radicalized film and TV with works like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Twin Peaks, with his dark, surreal artistic Vision that forever changed how we see Storytelling. He didn’t just tell Stories —he opened doors to worlds we didn’t know existed, unveiling beauty in the bizarre and light in the dark. “There’s a big hole in the world now,” his family wrote announcing his passing. But as Lynch would say: “Keep your eye on the donut, and not on the hole.” In 2024, Lynch revealed he had emphysema after a lifetime of smoking, marking the end of his directing journey. A four-time Oscar nominee, Lynch received an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in 2020. Lynch leaves behind a legacy of mystery, beauty, and courage.
