personal update: i just got laid off my job, so i'm now taking another art / research sabbatical

a thread of notes from what worked and what didn't work from last time, and what i'll keep in mind for this time around to give context, about two years ago, i jumped into my last sabbatical after quitting my job during the pandemic

joining in this year's @threadapalooza!

behold 100 tweets of my favorite travel stories from the last few years
