track+field: a December 2025 recap
Christmas markets, Walid Gholmieh x Gorillaz, women in Arab art history, a visit to LibanPost, jars of dirt, a film workshop, Basque cheesecake, and screenings of Buffer Zone
This newsletter incorporates movement and activity (hikes, walks, etc) into my work. I’m a productive and self-disciplined person except when it comes to tasks related to taking care of myself (like exercise, diet, and rest). This log blends the two areas of my life (health + work) and it tracks my time in the field.
The 2024 paid newsletter, Grapevine, a bulleted list of offline things I was exploring, is now collapsed into this monthly dispatch.
December was like a pot of pasta on low heat. It was slow to boil and then suddenly it was nonstop. As of the 16th, the bubbling began and it was go-go-go until…actually, the pasta’s still al dente. Things have calmed, but just a bit.
I’m looking forward to the second week of Jan when I can stay in for a stretch, cozy up on the couch, and finally clean my house.
