For me, Rabbit Holes is a way of channeling my curiosity and wonder.

I usually set it aside for a Saturday around midday, play the music you put, and spend probably 2 1/2 hours going all through it. I get into a total trance and don’t even go to the bathroom or get up while I’m reading it. It reminds me of the way I feel while watching a really great movie that you get lost in and forget that you are even watching a movie and you feel like you’re inside the story.

I think it’s about the way it makes me feel - introspective, curious, smiley, grateful to be a part of this world that’s full of so much wisdom and beauty.

I always finish it with a contented smile on my face and go for a walk or a quick meditation to just let it all soak.

It’s like reading the best podcast or radio show like RadioLab in its heyday with a few background sounds if you choose to press play while scrolling through (selected YouTube links) - there’s so much content in one issue - love it

The experience is a zen moment for me, every time. However, life as we see is different from the life we actually live—we are part of the system.

I really love this newsletter by @patriciamou_.
You might learn how to appreciate rituals, beauty, be inspired to create, live, explore, question and pursue things that make us happy - you'll find awe.

While reading your newsletter I have beautiful memories of sitting on a chaise a couple years ago reading this blog in LA and contemplating the trajectory of my existence. Grateful :)

I support your work because you bring fresh perspectives that tie together in a meaningful way. From your posts and comments and writings, I feel like you deliver on a true perspective that you live guided by life and living that really does intend to spread inspiration and build a more thoughtful world. Thank you.

The one and only newsletter I pay for (out of 100+)

Rabbit holes never misses. I open 20 tabs every time. The only newsletter I send to my main inbox.

One of the best subscriptions of the year.

Idk how @patriciamou_ does this, but every issue is so multi-dimensional and makes me feel many emotions. And always aesthetically pleasing too.

I wanted to let you know that your rabbit holes have been a great inspiration to me. As humans we all want to find our purpose.. and a lot of us find purpose in starting a family. I don't plan to and have been up and down about what my 'purpose' is. The next few years I want to focus on strengthening my creative muscle (which I let lay dormant for awhile).

Rabbit holes has been incredibly for pushing me forward with this goal. Thank you <3

Hi! Just felt the urge to send you a message about how much I enjoy your rabbit hole curations. Don't think i've every consumed anything so visceral. It's almost like synesthetic consumption.

Not sure at any given moment whether i'm primarily being affected visually, auditorily or otherwise. It also just feels so cohesive and almost unfolds like a story. It's magical. Please keep it up :🙏

I subscribe to <10 newsletters, and only consistently open 2-3 - Rabbit Holes is always one of them.

I feel like I'm transported into another universe of beauty and discovery when I scroll through it, and it has an amazing balance of aesthetically inspiring content and concrete, intellectual pathfinding content that I would never find and is pragmatically useful for my day to day.  

I think everyone should subscribe, or at least read one issue and then make a decision.

Rabbit Holes truly feels like a siloed experience (the music helps with this). I always set aside real time for it - never half-reading it on a commute or something.

You hop around in topic, but there's a clear through-line, and I find myself saving so much from every edition. Big thanks for your thoughtfulness and approach to this wonderful publication.

Essentially, your newsletters really resonate with me.

It stands in contrast to other environments I spend time in (physical and digital, aka classic modern Western world). It stimulates my unformulated vision of how I’d want the world to be like and it gives me hope that someday I will feel at peace and joy with my place in the world. It keeps me dreaming and inspired.

I also think there’s a certain kindness and welcoming in the newsletter that makes me feel safe; there are other intellectual spaces where I hang out online where I don’t feel the same and I think that decreases my engagement.

There’s also an aspect of the curated content being things I’d have a hard time finding at other places (although that may say more about me than you) which is valuable itself, but also provides a nice space for randomness/serendipity.
‍
I don’t think I’ve made any specific actions as a result, but I’d like to believe that the intellectual and spiritual nourishment I get from it will eventually contribute to my life decisions going in directions that are more aligned with my deepest selves.

In short, I am most grateful to have discovered this Internet space you have created, and I hope you keep doing it for as long as you find it worthwhile.

Rabbit Holes is one of the very few newsletters that I religiously look forward to reading, i've always found something that profoundly resonates with me in each letter. It has expanded my world view in many ways and i look forward to see how rabbit holes grow also.

Rabbit Holes has helped me rediscover and nurture the introspective and spiritual part of myself that does not naturally get enough attention in my day to day.

It takes me to a slightly transcendent and soothing state that feels like medicine for my meeting and notification filled schedule - i guess similar to meditation.

i'm a patron because getting that ^ was so obviously worth more than the patronage fee that i was happy to pay it and want to make sure you keep doing it! i'd be so bummed if you stopped. i even bought the book to memorialize it a bit and to be able to share in person (or even just give myself another path to go into that state)

RH is one of maybe three sources of online reading material I depend on. Over the past year I’ve migrated away from social media due to negative impacts on my mental health (at least, that’s the theory). But I don’t want to miss out on reading cool long form stuff - so I depend on RH for a way of getting the best of what’s out there without being devoured by the psycho fauna stalking the Twitter plains.

Discovering @rabbitholes_ by @patriciamou_ is like being a kid in a candy store.

So. Much. To. Explore. Easiest $$ to say yes to.

One of the most underrated modern day philosophers is @patriciamou_ Embrace a new Sunday ritual with her Rabbit Holes newsletter. Press play on a playlist she selects for each newsletter and get lost in her curated art, architecture, personal development, and philosophy vibes.

More than almost any other content I consume online, Rabbit Holes feels like a place and a mood and a state of mind.

The music, imagery, composition, etc. all contribute to this. I save 20-30 things from each edition. You're plugged into all of these wonderful communities and corners of the internet, and while you're willing to share the source code for that and pass along links, knowing that you're curating it for me and I'm all good if I just read through your monthly summary is a great feeling.

You also identify and discuss things that don't really come up in my own day-to-day conversation, so RH indulges that part of my brain and makes me feel less alone.

I experience and *remember experiencing* calm and a sense of zooming out from my everyday life to see the wider world. I so love the international perspectives.

You present places and scenes I have never experienced in person. This vision is important. Unless someone shows you, you don't know it's there. Unless you see the door or even know it's there, you can't walk through. You are letting us peek through the door. Therefore, I know these places are out there and am thus empowered make choices to go to them.

This was one of the most incredible smorgasbord of rabbit holes I have ever come across.

I forwarded it to multiple people... and for once, decided to just let it be and have them interpret from your work what speaks most to them at this moment.

Thanks for your creative energy and ability to triangulate separate threads into something worth sharing.

the @rabbitholes_  newsletter truly touches your soul and makes you ponder and re-evaluate what you think you know. highly suggest you subscribe 🕳🐇
‍

if you're looking for a cool subscription i can't recommend @rabbitholes_ enough.

The ratio of content to stuff I end up saving and highlighting from every issue is literally unheard of... so much value.

Highly recommend the rabbit hole by @patriciamou_! Each edition is a winding journey with music, art, quotes, etc. it weaves across architecture, health, philosophy and more.

It's truly a work of art and well worth the cost
