💫 How Capitalism Ruined Well-Being at Work

vadini.substack.com

Hello! Welcome :) 

I've gotten back to writing after a long, long while so I thought I'd get the newsletter warmed up. It took a few years but I finally have gotten to a place where I simultaneously felt the right combination of free time, inspiration, and drive to write again. This time I aim to have the habit stick around for a bit longer🤞🏽 

In terms of recent news, I've worked on a few things recently:

  1. Re-designed my website! I didn't like how blocky and large mine was so I streamlined it significantly and used a Notion-lookalike format since I was inspired by people's pure Notion sites. As a CS major I felt like it was cheating to not code it myself so I had to 😅

  2. Working on a service to get the best of your Twitter straight to your inbox. Tech twitter can have a lot of interesting learnings but it can also be full of noise and lost time scrolling. This service will hopefully alleviate that! It was inspired by a script Courtland Allen said he used to get the best Tweets from all of Indie Hackers straight to his inbox every week. I hope to do a soft launch of this in the next few days 🚀

  3. Wrote the article linked below! I'm excited to get back into writing again after a few weeks of concentrated efforts to read more. Hope to turn this into a regular thing ✒️

I recently published the first article from a series on how capitalism has ruined our well-being. I originally wanted to fit this all into one article but it would be too much for one so I decided to split it up. The first article of the series, How Modern Capitalism Ruined Well-Being at Work is linked here:

The next articles will touch on how capitalism has affected and can improve:

  1. Our relationships

  2. Our health

  3. Our community

Related questions from this article: 

  • How can passion economy work be more sustainable and ethical? 

  • How have we made or may we make ourselves unnecessary via automation? What can we work on instead?

  • What is the antidote to consumerism? 

I hope to explore these questions and more in the coming months. 

In the meantime, thanks for reading! I appreciate you being here. I'd love to hear if anything resonated with you. If you didn't enjoy this issue or would like to unsubscribe, I won't mind that either. Feel free to share feedback by responding to this email! 

Have a wonderful week,
Vadini 💖
