👋 Howdy, nice to meet you.

I’m Cole and I consume a lot of things that I sometimes want to write about: food, books, TV shows, video games, endless streams of tweets, comics, alcohol, self doubt, pity, podcasts—whatever else.

Bell Hooks wrote that “Confronting the endless desire that is at the heart of our individual overconsumption and global excess is the only intervention that can ward off the daily call to consume that bombards us on all sides.”

🙃

What better way to confront the endless desire to overconsume than by writing about that constant consumption? Anyway, subscribe to get conscious ramblings on consumption and occasionally half-baked short stories.
