the key to avoid this is to lack ambition. Just do things and keep it moving.
it is coming to my attention that a lot of people in the mid-late career start going insane when they realise that all they have worked to attain is in fact ephemeral and fleeting. adding this to the packet of failure modes to be cautious about.

Lots of people with money who want to make more are telling you this is a tool you have to learn or you'll be Left Behind but as with all tools, you can use your own brain and experience to decide if it's a thing that helps you do your job better and a thing you think is ethical.
Helluva Freudian slip
Johnson: That is not the principles of the Republican Party. You want me to articulate them? We fought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology.

to all new bluesky members, welcome. a note about 'netiquette': here instead of saying "tweeting" we say "busting a fat nut"

people gotta treat this behavior the same as we treat shitting on the floor
I think this same thought a lot, and what I've come to conclude is that people are in WAY more debt than is outwardly discernable. Like I think people are carrying truly massive amounts of credit card debt and are just like, "yolo, I'll figure it out later"
idk if I'm just awful at saving and finances (yes) but I really don't understand how ppl with as much or less money than me can afford to go to Europe and stuff (just ppl I know, not that this is a trend, and the answer is other ppl actually budget and save)

some colleagues have suggested to me that shame is irrelevant because the people on the "other side" don't know or care what "we" (on whatever "this side") think of them. I have...not gotten that impression
Not at all the point but I find it pretty funny that the chyron here reads "Longtime friend of Charlie Kirk" and not, you know, "Vice President" 😂

4) What’s happening now is an attempt to render those sentiments acceptable in polite company & to make people feel guilty for having negative judgments about people who express their racism and anti-semitism.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

It really sucks how the key to writing is really to just be stressed out for days before you actually sit down to write, obsessively thinking about the topic to the detriment of your health and personal life.
Fuck yeah radical graffiti at the historic Stone Arch in Howard, OH ✊️🇵🇸

I am so tired of explaining to people why they shouldn't generate text or images or video with "AI", why they shouldn't share "AI"-generated content from other people, and why none of this is "inevitable".

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Two years. I can't believe it. What a disgusting time. What a horrific time. We live in the age of monsters, and all we can hope for is to finally defeat some of them. Free palestine.
