The short answer is: terribly, but with impressive speed and stamina. Look, people who write self-help books love to talk about uncertainty like it’s a gentle crossroad in a forest. They say things like, “Lean into the unknown,” or “Embrace the discomfort.” I’m pretty sure the people \[…\] ## [Adulthood, Aisle 4](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/08/16/adulthood-aisle-4/) _2026-08-17 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ So there I was, standing in the paper goods aisle of the Piggly Wiggly at 8:45 on a Tuesday evening, having a full-blown crisis over two ply versus three ply. Now, when you’re seven, you think adulthood is going to be magnificent. You imagine staying up until midnight, eating chocolate cake for breakfast, and buying \[…\] ## [The Fine Art of Overdoing It](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/08/03/the-fine-art-of-overdoing-it/) _2026-08-04 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ Whenever someone asks what your favorite quote is, they’re setting a trap. There’s invisible pressure in that question. You’re supposed to say something profound. Something in Latin, or from a guy with a beard in the 1800s that proves you’ve spent serious time reflecting on the human condition. You’re supposed to sound like a person \[ \] ## [Funny Thing About Dreams](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/26/funny-thing-about-dreams/) _2026-07-27 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ My biggest dream? Easy. It was about Godzilla. Not like a movie premiere or anything. There was just an actual, 400-foot Godzilla hanging out in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Right by the dumpster. The weird thing wasn t even the giant monster. It was that nobody cared. My neighbor was out there washing \[ \] ## [Our next cohort starts soon!

As it turns out, all roads eventually lead to a pineapple. Which is not a sentence I expected to write today. To be fair, I also wasn t expecting to spend last Saturday at Costco.

Twenty years. That’s a long time. I think it’s pretty optimistic of us to assume we’re still going to have electricity in twenty years. At the rate we’re going, I don’t think we’ll even have any technology to \[ \] ## [Neither/Nor Paper and Podcast Feature](https://liminallearning.substack.com/p/neithernor-paper-and-podcast-feature) _2026-07-09 · Liminal Learning · The Liminal Post_ Bryan Kam speaks with Jonah Wilberg on the Neither/Nor Paper, co-authored by Isabela Granic and published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Nature, 2026) ## [Meet Claude, an AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/x6af4ck2dcg9) _2026-07-09 · **Sponsored**_ Chat with Claude at claude.ai — a conversational AI assistant. ## [More Chaos? No Thanks, I’m Full.](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/06/more-chaos-no-thanks/) _2026-07-07 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ You would never guess that I used to actively seek out chaos. I mean, today, I look exactly like the kind of person who mentally prepares for a trip to Target like I’m invading Normandy. I get stressed when someone parks in my grocery store parking spot, as though I personally own Space 42.

You know, to give you lovely readers a break. It’s the 4th of July here in the U.S. And honestly, if you can just ignore the 104-degree heat that feels like living inside a toaster oven, the \[ \] ## [Dog Day Afternoon](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/04/guinea-pigs-pet-stores/) _2026-07-04 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ The writing prompt today is What s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective? and honestly, right off the bat, I feel attacked.

But if you must know, my current sleep strategy consists of being a night owl until about 3:00 AM, getting a light dusting of unconsciousness, and then waking up for work feeling like I was hit by \[ \] ## [Stargazers' Heists—2026](https://liminallearning.substack.com/p/stargazers-heists2026) _2026-07-02 · Liminal Learning · The Liminal Post_ Here are our second cohort's Heists—a wonderful mix of a mini Liminal Learning retreat day—coming up (and you are invited), an intergenerational letter exchange, and a local community get-together! ## [Close the Tab!
