Welcome to my collection of observations about life’s quiet absurdities.

I write humor essays about the ridiculous things we all deal with but rarely talk about, fitness trackers that treat standing up like an Olympic achievement, laundry piles that develop their own political systems, and the general weirdness of being a human trying to function in modern life.

This isn’t self-help. I’m not here to fix you or optimize your morning routine.

I’m just pointing at the bizarre stuff we all do and saying, “Isn’t this ridiculous?”

If you’ve ever felt congratulated by a piece of technology for doing something your body does automatically, or romanticized your life by drinking water from a wine glass, you’re in the right place.

I post a couple of times a week.

Sometimes the posts are about wellness culture gone wrong. Sometimes they’re about objects that seem smarter than me.

Always, they’re an attempt to make you smile at the absurdity of it all.

Just someone noticing the weird stuff and writing it down.

Subscribe if you’d like these observations delivered to your inbox.

Or don’t.

Either way, the laundry pile isn’t going anywhere.

I write about what famous people actually do (not what they claim to do) and the psychology behind genuine success, personal development through celebrity insights, with more substance.

I write about the absurd parts of being alive, like how my houseplants have formed a government, or why my watch congratulates me for standing up. No lessons, no life hacks, just observations that hopefully make you laugh.
