Luna’s about three flights away from starting her travel tips blog.
The year is 2200, an elder has gathered children to tell them the story of how many generations ago we would light the sky with fire on the last night of the year, every year, but on one fateful New Year’s Eve we didn’t, and society fell apart and now we all live in caves.

Unsplash: zero dollars, millions of feels
Just under three years ago I flew a drone for the first time, and started clicking the shutter button. I had no idea what I was doing, and luckily the original Mavic Pro camera operated at about the same level of tech as an iPhone camera.
I never knew what to do with the photos I made.
I shared them on social media, which was lovely. Some of them even got 10 likes!
I invested in an online gallery, well, a few online galleries, and I sold about three prints.
I submitted photos to stock photo libraries, but nothing really sold there. You can find me on Getty, iStock, Stocksy, all making about zero dollars a year.
So then there’s Unsplash, which feels like a melting pot of loser photographers like me, where the photos I made have earned me zero dollars, I know that over 40 million people have at least seen the photos. About 200,000 people have downloaded and used my photos. This particular one has been viewed over 4 million times in the past 4 days.
Money’s nice, and exposure doesn’t pay the bills, but there’s something about my nothing becoming something, something about being seen, that fills my heart up.

Please send help, I think our village is being gentrified.
A failing cafe has reopened as a trendy bar with a meaningless name, and this afternoon trendy people wearing colourful bodysuits and fancy earrings are walking out streets.
What should I do?

Guys, Big Exercise just wants us to keep on doing exercise so we live longer so we can do more exercise. This whole exercise thing is a corporate scam! #BigExercise
Finally, a hero has risen, to liberate nerds from the shackles of conventional manliness by making an offering of a ute, but for nerds.
All hail, Master Elon Musk, saviour of the nerds, the Steve Jobs of utes.

I’d like to dedicate this award to the gent sat next to me on this flight, in the middle of three seats, who chose to sleep on the other guy’s shoulder.

A few years ago I had that blog and podcast called Unpopular, and what @cabel is talking about is what I was trying to explore.
For context, this tweet is about @1Password taking on $200M investment for growth.
I think about this “often unexplored middle ground” daily.
Here’s a #VeryGC story. In Apple Store, dodgy guy next to me was owed $150, so the debtor gives the guy (I reckon he’s a dealer) an Apple Watch & the alleged drug dealer is in the Apple Store looking for a valuation. He “doesn’t really do Apple stuff so I’ve got no idea”
Finally, a piece of mobile computing hardware that could drag me from the Apple ecosystem.
