Little Bits Of Light

What's up babes? It’s another Friday, which means I’m back with a steamin’ hot pile of links, like little sausages, to sustain your mind bellies all damn day.

This place is a labor of love, and I pour myself into it each week for you rad souls. It’s entirely reader-supported, and if you’re lookin for a way to help me keep it going, you can do just that by joining the community. If you’ve got it to spare, I’d love to have you:

Here’s the dealio, cheerios:

1. TORCHLIGHT WORKSHOPS ARE HERE! - Holy bananas, Sarah and I finally did it. We decided (after so many people wrote in asking advice for so many years) that it’d be fun to try, just try, to do a little interactive workshop where we have a targeted topic, and we use Zoom, and we teach a little workshop that will also include a ton of Q&A and actual targeted information at what you really wanna know. The poll was in and Relationships/Couples/Love was the first topic of choice, with Writing the 2nd. So we’ll start with the first one, and later we’ll do a writing one. Anyway, the course is offered at two different times for your convenience, Wednesday the 8th of February at 8:30pm EST, or Sunday the 12th of February at Noon EST. You pick. Click the buttons below if you wanna sign up, and thanks for being part of the first ever Workshop attempt! Hopefully many more to come.

   

   @tylerknottgregsonTorchlight Workshops are here! First one is a couples and relationships one as per your vote. All about how to be as madly in love and cute as f like we are, right? Barf. Choose Weeknight or Weekend option in the shop.

2. There Is No Planet B - Wow. What an article, packed with a lot of science I’ve long thought about, long wondered about, and beliefs I’ve held for a long time about how the ultra-rich on this planet are focusing on the wrong things. What if we realized, finally, there is no Planet B for us to move to? It’s this place, nowhere else. Now is the time to fix what we’ve got. Brilliant read.

3. 100 Ways To Improve Life (Without Really Trying) - Who doesn’t want life to be improved? Who doesn’t want that without having to do a lot of hard stuff to make it so? No one, that’s who, you greedy goblins. :) That said, this list has some cool stuff on it that are easy ways to tweak your day to day that will improve your life as a whole. Groovy.

4. Future Humans Won’t See The Stars?! - Sorry to be just massively depressing today, first with the fact that this planet is all we’ve got to survive, and now saying that new science is showing that there’s a really good chance that future humans won’t even be able to see the stars. Oof. This article was eye-opening and eye-shutting at the same time. Give it a read. Find ways to help prevent this.

5. Unexpected Benefits of Travel - I have spoken at long length on this Signal Fire about the benefits of travel, I think it’s one of the most important and soul-stretching things we can do. I’ll always say this. This article has some “unexpected” benefits that a well-well-well-seasoned traveler has found in their years of wandering. I love it.

6. “If You Call” by Angie McMahon and Leif Vollebekk - I just like this song a lot. It makes my insides feel warm and nice and my outsides feel safe and understood. I don’t know why.

7. Typewriter Series Silliness - Here’s another Typewriter Series video you may have missed. As always, if you click on the one, the others will show up too haha.
