  • Related: almost no one has ever *actually* been afraid of you.

  • Lean away from self-pity. Self-pity is also self-basting. Which is gross.

  • Relatedly related: whenever you catch yourself getting frustrated because you're hung up on some weird implementation detail, please say the following outloud in a firm but friendly tone: "*Just do the thing*."

  • If you can manage it, avoid teeing up a media suggestion with "I couldn't recommend this more." Because if the listener (understandably) zones out on the journey to that crucial last word, it really sounds like you kinda hated it.

  • Unless you are cannily identifying a specific logical fallacy, the question has likely been *raised*. Not begged.

  • Learn to love at least one snack that can be stored in a glove box without going bad.

  • Related: put a trash can anyplace your dominant hand repeatedly wants to let go of trash.

  • Related: being chased makes feelings a lot stronger.

  • Calm down. (Thanks, Alex C.)

  • Try to fix more stuff than you break.

  • If I were to pitch somebody on my favorite bit I’ve picked up from mindfulness, I’d suggest starting to frequently notice how you feel about how you feel.

  • A real Democratic fighter needs our help! AIPAC, data centers, and other special interests are spending millions to stop Peggy Flanagan’s people-powered campaign. Before Election Day on Tuesday, let’s contact Minnesota voters and secure another win for the many over the money: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/971600/?source=mastodon

  • I'm so fucking tired of being forced to perform free labour to train AIs just to use the internet all the while its pretending to "make sure I'm a human" as if the entire reason the internet is the way it is now wasn't always because of webcrawling bots.
