A Few of My Favorite Things

a reader request

Recently, I published an essay about what digital tools survived my post-Twitter re-assessment. A reader asked for an essay on the non-digital tools that I love most, which was an intriguing and fun idea.

As it was just a year and a half ago that I got a middle-class job, I haven’t had the opportunity to buy things that add more than simple survival to my life for very long. I have profoundly enjoyed the process of furnishing a home for myself. Here is a top ten list, with pictures. Some are gifts I’ve received and some are things I found on my own. Comments are turned on for paid subscribers and I look forward to reading about your own Favorite Things!

In no particular order, my favorite things. Substack is warning me that this post is too long for gmail, so some of you may need to click through and read the post on my Substack at the URL.
