Saw it somewhere on ig that instead of thinking "I'm too old for this" I could think "women my age are underrepresented here" and it completely changed my brain chemistry

How to capture in visual language / notation something so free as hoop dance? The fact that Brecken even attempted to invent a way for hoopers to capture their routine in something codified makes me feel so much joy and excitement about our human experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmkA...

Does anyone here host (or have attended) a literary salon? I mean a literary salon specifically, not a book club - though I'm still working out the difference between the two myself. What was your experience like? What structure do these meetings usually follow?

Meta is so unbelievably evil. They make a technology primarily designed to enable abuse, harassment and privacy violations, but also embed real disability aids. The tactic now is to use an entire community as human shields to defend against criticisms www.engadget.com/2236054/meta...
I can't put into words how in love I am with @marcishore.bsky.social lectures on European Intellectual History. There's something about her style and rhetoric that makes every word she says fit my brain like a piece of a puzzle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxAT...

The existential fatigue of 1000 daily decisions of whether to ask Claude about something - or try to figure it out on my own.
Calling your AI agents 'employees' is a surefire sign you’re going to be insufferable.
I just want a world where quiet, good work is rewarded over dancing for an algorithm. Where children aren’t used as props online, where we hear about good work not because of a social post, but because a human we trust talks about it. Where we don’t need it to be listed online to matter. That’s all
Probably one of the weirdest and coolest things I’ve ever done - I hung an invitation for a paper collage night in the elevator for the other girls from my block, and we had the BEST time. Let’s bring back neighborhood communities and casual hangouts in private spaces.
Life is better since: - Instead of making statements, I make bets and test them, - Instead of looking for binary answers I see things as a spectrum, - Instead of seeking definite answers I look for patterns
today's the day I fell in love with the works of Clay Christensen. Because of the "Innovator's dilemma" with I'm deep-reading now - and because of this TED talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvos...

Yeah I can read about something but how can I _really_ learn what it is? This was the question that struck me during a morning walk and this piece is an attempt to answer it. ilonaborsos.com/en/posts/jak...

Okay this is THE ultimate comfort movie. I watched this wrapped in a blanket, had some fries, some chocolate covered salty sticks and a smoothie. Life is good.
Here's a great list of ideas if you feel like you're too engrossed in that little glass rectangle in your pocket (or...the one you're staring at RIGHT NOW 😜). Bonus idea: a friend of mine has started inviting people to have lunch at his house. "Come on over, let's make some sandwiches."

Is there a word to describe Obsidian's business model? Revenue primarily comes from optional paid services that have free alternatives. Freemium isn't quite right because freemium apps typically paywall features, or have usage-based pricing. Obsidian's features are free and there's no usage limit.
2 years married to my dude today. The most amazing human being I know, I’m not even exaggerating. He just wants me to be 100% me and I just can’t put in words how amazing it is to have someone in my life who truly loves me no matter what.

@annehelen.bsky.social on bullshit jobs.
Shannon Mattern@shannonmattern.bsky.social · last yr."We have woven a rhetoric around the current job market to convince us that the problem isn’t the way we’ve organized the economy, or the ongoing erosion of the safety net [+] worker’s rights, but the jobs themselves. In that paradigm, the solution [is] to create your own job."
I 100% believe you can make yourself become a hardcore nerd about anything at all, but I’m yet to precisely describe the process to do so. Any ideas? Let’s say that for whatever reason you need to start genuinely caring about something random, like lightbulbs or seats in trains. What would you do?
The only right way to use Facebook in 2025: - in browser, installing an app only if I want to post something & deleting it immediately after - religious minimalism with # of groups I’m in / # of people I follow - cleaned up with #blockit app
been working on my neocities site for a few days. it feels like making a home. i'm building the rooms, decorating them, making them me when it's done i'll invite people over & they'll come inside & see the photos on the walls, the knicknacks on the shelves & say, "ah, this is she. i know her now"
