If you live in an expensive, desirable place like New York City or Key Largo, try swapping apartments with a young freelancer in a Tier 4 city who probably lives in a massive loft. For free. Put your performative Airbnb guilt to good use—take a midcation!

i love seeing the insides of other people’s homes! especially when no thought or effort was put into the staging
((but also very real it’s a slog that gives way to glimmers of rewards, if you have any leads slide into the dms 🙏))

I can’t say enough about a good loft. Ideally this is a large under-furnished-little-bit-industrial-a-little-bit-abandoned room for your unfettered thoughts and creativity to bounce around freely. I recently found one in downtown Los Angeles, and it’s changed everything for me.. As someone who has always worked from home, I typically turned my home into a work space. This made any sort of healthy relationship with another person impossible - either I’d give in to their demands and stop making art or functioning, or I would break up with them. I’m very happy with my love/work balance now. I get that lofts are expensive, and with gas prices what they are - all I’m saying is, if you find a loft, and you treat it well, you’ll never need to get gas again.

I think my analyst is Freudian, but I have a soft spot for Jung because my parents are from LA. I love hearing analysts use terms like “the imp of the perverse” to talk about procrastination. I especially love the dream analysis, where they’ll tell some random guy the burning hearth in his dream means he’s taking on a feminine role in his marriage.

The MyPillow guy’s self-published memoir, read aloud in his thick Minnesotan accent. He’s a professional card counter, constantly $80k in the hole, blowing coke in his Chevy, chased by cops, threatened by drug dealers in Mexico, all while running 3 bars in greater Minneapolis. And that’s before he invents the pillow.

Epic construction fails, men doing crazy unsafe jobs, and occasional near-death misses. It’s a testament to the chaos of society, the benefits of regulation, the pratfalls of development, and the fragility of humanity. Call it manual labor fetishism, but it’s good to see real men doing things and be reminded of how weak you are.
