What's really grim about Christian trad culture is that in the end this content, all these pastors and influencers can sell you is resentment. Not happiness. Just anger you're not happy.
What unites every piece of trad media I've looked at is that it has a tortured relationship

People call Russian literature depressing, but I’ve never read anything more life-affirming. For those who’ve known real darkness, these books are salvation. It’s no exaggeration to say Dostoevsky (especially Brothers Karamazov) literally saved me. And this quote explains why.

Have been itching to reveal this: rendering of our residential courtyard for Townsend, our infill mixed-use project getting ready to break ground. 12 townhomes surrounding a few connected courtyards with layered gardens and brick pavers.

So. Dang. Beautiful.

This is actually a highly accurate rendering of what we are doing architecturally—we use our real designs and detailing from sketchup as the backdrop, and collaborate with an amazing illustrator (JJ Zanetta) to bring it to life. We have a ton of fun working together. He actually knows how to capture the FEEL of it.

Even the varying pavement, etc, is all from the plan; that’s not just superficial detail in a rendering. We’ve designed the outdoor space with as much thought as each floor plan and facade.

And we are also leaving some space for design to evolve as the project unfolds.

We are imagining more free standing planters and pots that enclose each home’s front “patio” for a semiprivate space that’s also lush and can be tended, but didn’t make sense in rendering.

We opted for a central garden rather than some fire pit, table, outdoor kitchen or “amenity” in the center of the courtyard; we have more public space nearby with our commercial courtyards, AND it’s already walkable to 30+ F&B options if you want a “gathering space”.

It’s tempting to create “usable” amenities, and sometimes you should, but here, the central courtyard is a beautiful space to enter and exit your home, to look out your window and glimpse, a place to sit outside, and if you WANT to engage with someone across the way you can, but there is also a barrier in between and it makes it optional.

It’s balancing privacy + option for interaction—in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful setting.

I cannot wait to build this with our team. It’s been a tremendous amount of work over nearly 2.5 years to be on the edge of breaking ground. But it’s going to be so much fun. And it’s also going to blow people away.

I promise you: this will be some of the best walkable infill in the country.

We’ve been working on creating something very special at The Lottura Post & it has been a joy to watch it come to life & morph into something even beyond what we conceptualized. A newspaper full of nostalgia, seasonal inspiration, & so much more.

Small farms and butchers struggle to survive, often going out of business year after year. Why? One major reason is that the USDA’s system favors big processors, making conventional meat cheaper and local meat harder to compete with.

Here’s one example:

Over 96% of the pork consumed in the U.S. is processed at just 37 large plants across the country. These facilities are not required to have a USDA inspector on site for every carcass. Instead, they use “self-inspection.” Some of these plants process up to 32,000 pigs per day.

By contrast, small pork processors must have a USDA inspector present at all times. This continuous oversight adds significant labor and compliance costs that small plants must absorb, driving up their per-pound prices.

So while massive plants operate with less direct federal oversight (even while handling huge volumes of pigs from confinement operations) small processors face much stricter requirements.

The system is effectively set up to drive small food producers out of business over time.

Support small food producers whenever you can to vote with your dollar.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

Years ago, when I was in my 20s, a bold and artistically daring older friend who has since passed on gave me what I often think was the best advice I have ever gotten. I was worrying what 'people would think' of a decision I had made, and she said, "Amanda, There is no audience."

This is the Ray Peat quote I think about the most:

“If mental activity has a sense of obligation, of being pushed, it can raise the same stress mediators (serotonin, TSH, prolactin, CRH, cortisol, etc.), but if the attitude is one of opening and exploring new possibilities, it activates restorative processes throughout the body.”
