(Re)Statement of Purpose: Salvage



This year sucked my brain out of my head and made it a small, wormy thing that flinches at the beginning of each day.

Next year, it's time to reset. I want to root myself again in the things that I choose, instead of dangling in a perpetual state of horrified reaction.

Last month, Katie Presley posited that the thesis of the (truly excellent) Lady Bird is "attention is love." In 2018, I am determined to spend my attention wisely.

So, I'm trying for a reset on The Daily Wreck. Here's the new plan:
  • One recommendation every day
  • It could still be a book or a movie or a TV show or a website, but it could also be an article or a Twitter feed or a restaurant or a person or an object or ...
  • Not everything will be happy, but I will be avoiding anything that leaves me with a lingering sense of dread or hopelessness or horror
  • The posts will also show up via Twitter and Tumblr (and probably also TinyLetter)

Let's save and share the good stuff while we can.
