the death of the RSVP is one of the clearest signs of societal decline.
a civilization cannot function if “will you be there?” has become an unanswerable question.
I call it Spilled Milk Syndrome.
The people who suffer from it live difficult, stressful lives, no matter how well things may otherwise be going for them.
They freak out when their iPhone screen cracks. Their flight gets delayed an hour, and it makes them crazy.
Their uber driver cancels last minute, and they yell at their screen. Their printer runs out of paper when they’re running late and need that important document - and their heart races like crazy.
Their blood boils when their latte’s too hot. Or their new shoes get stained the first time they wear them. Or the babysitter’s running 10 minutes behind.
Life’s little annoying moments shock them every time. They are the spilled milk moments that fill all of our lives - and they’re routine no matter who you are or even how wealthy you may be.
The people who expect these moments and take them in stride have an incredible gift.
When a business deal falls apart, they try to save it - and they move on to the next when they realize they can’t.
When the baby starts crying again at 3am, they can choose to be frustrated and to feel sorry for themselves because they had a long day and need the sleep - or they can choose to not to let it get them down.
How you handle those countless moments is simply up to you.
They are going to keep happening no matter what - and you can choose to take them in stride, not let them set you back, and to look forward.
Or you can choose to waste much of your life angry and frustrated, “crying over spilled milk.”
It’s perhaps the most important life choice you can make.
Happy RSD friends! We’ll be monitoring over 200 record stores on our Discord tomorrow for when overstock goes up online.

one of the sick things about having toddlers is you’ll never have to wait for a table at that popular restaurant in town because you eat dinner at 5:05pm
“I hate Valentine’s Day because I’m single, it’s so commercialized, blah blah blah”
Skill issue.
Celebrate your friends. Bring your coworkers treats. Call your mom. Cook for yourself. Quit undervaluing platonic love and then wondering why you don’t have more of it in your life.
A message for anyone going through cluster feeding with a newborn or sleep deprivation with a 4 month old, I want to tell you that in a very short amount of time, you will be dancing in the living room with your toddler and it will be the happiest feeling in your whole life
February 2026 is the literal definition of perfection
It starts on a Sunday, ends on a Saturday

Taylor Swift became the standard for live shows for me. If you’re not doing a 3.5hr show with dancers, bands and full production, you should not be charging Taylor Swift prices
