per my last email
for the over-educated, under-rested
Blog No. 18 · September 2026
A polished little blog for the over-educated and under-rested. Thoughtful complaints, luxury-grade side-eyes, and quietly ruthless notes on the rituals of modern work.
Latest notes
A gentle critique of warm language when the systems still feel very much like a machine.
On the strange comfort of over-preparing and under-connecting.
There is never a quick sync. There is only a meeting with a better name.
A case for sharper language and a little less performance.
From the editors
We publish the kind of writing that sits between “I need a better strategy” and “I am genuinely stunned by how many people say ‘circle back’ in a single day.”
“There is a difference between being busy and being useful. We are very committed to being busy.”
