Very nice. I have been reading this newsletter in my email for a while, and made an account on substack to comment. i aspire to spend my life offline as well.
P.S. in the part where u mentioned using ur phone/laptop while using the mug, i think its fair if u are offline on it (eg: journalling in a word processor)
A worthwhile aspiration to have in this digitally cracked out world!
It is fair if you can commit to staying offline, that's what matters, but the devices have always been a slippery slope for me. And I have slowly moved most of my writing to pen and paper. I love analog, the only downside is the used journals slowly piling up.
Hey Mehret! This mug is great! I have been contemplating making a mug myself for scroll santy! very much procrastinating on actually getting it done, though... What website did you use to design it and have it made? Also, an analog version of the newsletter sounds cool. Did you see that Jose Briones is printing a Q1 version of his newsletter? love all these great ideas :)
I've been procrastinating on actually promoting the mug and the idea for its use as outlined here *sigh* lol but I used https://www.vistaprint.ca/photo-gifts/personalized-mugs! They have a bunch of templates you can customize and they have great sales (50% off) throughout the year. It was such a fun project to create a physical object representing time spent offline. Get to it!
I just saw it, physical print is amazing! Also another idea I'm procrastinating on atm lol
