I wrote an essay about how I went from reading a few books a year to one a week. I wish the process could be boiled down to a few snappy tips, but, for me, it canāt. This is an essay about rethinking the attention crisis as a curiosity crisis, and how that shift helped me harness my curiosity to get me back into reading. Link to the full essay is in my bio! ā¤ļø

Rest easy, cowboy š¤ šŖ½
I want to share more of my art on here this year. This one started as a commission, but ended up becoming something to do before I went to bed every night. I loved doing line work on him while falling asleep.

āLegends Tower, if built, would be the tallest skyscraper in the United States, overtaking One World Trade Center in New York City by 131 feet to stand at a dizzying 1,907. This would make it the tallest building in the western hemisphere, and sixth-largest in the world. Itās difficult to communicate just how dramatically its completion would transform the Oklahoma City skyline, but picture, if you would, a pancake with a yardstick plunged into it.Ā
I was as intrigued as I was dubious when I caught wind of the proposed structure while sitting in a coffee shop in Brooklyn in June 2024. Legends Tower, developed by California-based Matteson Capital and designed by Cali-based architecture firm AO, had recently been approved for āunlimited heightā by the Oklahoma City Council. It also sounded, apropos of its name, like it would never be built.ā
Today on thepickup.com, former @thislandpress contributor @jpbrammer digs into Legends Tower, the proposed supertall skyscraper in Oklahoma City. Inside, youāll find fishy nonprofits, Oklahoma silliness, and pie-in-the-sky dreams.

If youāve ever wondered, āWhat if my timeline were a location I could physically stand in?, you might want to visit the Jersey Shore.
Last month, @jpbrammer rented a car and drove from Brooklyn to the Seaside Heights on a mission to commune with the American psyche the best way he knows how: going shopping. The Jersey Shore borough is famous for, among other things, its novelty T-shirts. You know the ones. They read, āIāM NOT ALWAYS A BITCH JUST KIDDING GO FUCK YOURSELFā or āSHUT UP LIVER! YOUāRE FINE.ā
They are printed Ć la minute, meaning theyāre highly responsive to a given moment in culture. These designs reflect whatās popular: memes, political figures, sex acts.
āIf anything could speak candidly and insightfully on contemporary U.S. culture, I figured it would be commercial goods granted the gift of speech, provided they werenāt too preoccupied with ā¤ing My Boyfriend or proclaiming Italian descent,ā Brammer writes. What better way to see where our heads are than by taking stock of what weāre putting on our chests?
Swipe to see the five major clades of T-shirts available for purchase, and click the link in bio for all of Brammer's findings.
