The world needs our action, but it also needs our joy. Please don’t shame people for finding beauty or passion amidst the struggle. Joy isn't a distraction; it’s the fuel we need to keep going. Living as well as we can is a form of resistance, too. We can hold space for both.

I found out today that my grandparents sold the gas station that they had always owned in my hometown. It made me feel really weird, so I want to talk about it for a sec to no one in particular. 🧵
I’m a little stoned, please forgive if this is a bit rambly.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Shame is one of the hardest things about ADHD for me. I'm back and the book is finished but instead of feeling proud, I feel ashamed for not having managed to stay active, manage my household better or even shower regularly.
