If there was one good reason I’d wish for a larger audience, it would be for sharing this piece far, wide, and LOUD.

I admire not only your rock solid commitment on this thing, Kate, but also, your writing on it is just superb. Really.

It’s all so much more than just going a few months without a smartphone… you’re leading folks around the blind curve. So excited to get there with you. 🫶🏻🤘🏻

Great article. A few years ago, buying a cassette or vinyl was seen as just a cool fetish, a retro whim. But now it’s clear there’s nothing retro about it. It’s simply a return to things that were good, and were taken from us.

Yes - I love that. This reclamation is much more than a cool fetish or retro whim. We're talking about returning to our our sovereignty as individual thinking people.

Thanks for this piece; especially the note on the storage back-up of voice memos and notes...

Interesting tid-bit, right? I still haven't solved for it completely, I think I'll need to go through and manually back them up to Dropbox, which gives me a chance to archive and organize them better. But that's a huge task....

Thanks Aviva! I've had the most fun this month - creatively the best thing I've done for my heart/ mind/ music. I have an idea that is dropping in that I actually thought of you for, I'll email you soon 🩵
