Keep making shit. You are talented and awesome.
Brainworms will tell you otherwise sometimes. They do that to all of us.
They are wrong. When you feel them kicking in, remember this post:
You are awesome. Yes. You. Fuck 'em. 👍

I don't use any streaming services, so no yearly reports for me, but I think this was probably my best 'new' discovery of the year.

Sorry to sound like blazed William Morris, but we should all get to experience some art every day so we are reminded of what’s noble and beautiful about us

Fellow Canadian historians, what would you do with the following reference: Megill, "Role of 5 Canadian Infantry Brigade in Veritable", D. Hist?
Because... that doesn't seem to be more than provide a start to finding said document?

Yes, Jared Diamond was wrong.
Rapa Nui's people did not suffer ecological and social collapse. They adapted to changed circumstances and thrived.
And they were nothing like "primitive"

Studies show how the giant statues on Rapa Nui were made and moved—and what caused the island's deforestation
Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is often portrayed in popular culture as an enigma. The rationale is clear: The tiny, remote island in the Pacific features nearly 1,000 enormous statues—the moa...

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I took this advice 2 years ago & went from $100 to $50 a month w loads more data. Just walk into a shop.
Remember this is the time to change cell phone providers even if you like the one you have. Switching, not threatening to switch, is how you get the best win back deal.
Here are some of the offerings I found online. Not exhaustive and might be better ones.

This post is a nice try but it just doesn’t have the same oomph as when it was shouted from a podium in the original German.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
