While I preach the gospel of the Growth Mindset to the child, I was raised in a different denomination.

I like being good at things. I do not like being not good at things. Unfortunately the best way to become sort of good at something is being bad at something and continuing despite that.

Hey, if you're planning on dressing up as an ICE agent for Halloween because scaring vulnerable people is funny to you, there is still time for you to change your mind about the worst fucking idea you've ever had.

Turns out basing an entire medical ecosystem on replacing science with processes that will launder whatever idiot opinions the senior docs in charge want it to and then handing the keys over to a bunch of raving space loons was not a good idea.

Who knew?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Get offline for a day. Create something.

I'm serious.

You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

I loved Duolingo (before) because I could play around with different language and sometimes even pick up words here and there and it was always so fun. Then when I was out in the world and I heard something I could be like oh that might be some language or another.

I’m reading an award winning book that is weird (derogatory) and kind of mid so far.
But I will stay till the end.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)
