Out of Alcatraz from Oni Press and You'll Do Bad Things from Image are pretty great.

We truly do live in the influencer era of the internet. Never expected Superman to expose his identity for some easy views smh.

It's not like I saw this while reading the sequel series, I saw it while scrolling through my timeline. People who haven't read the original will see this whether or not they choose to.

If I ever get more goats, I'd call them Goat 2, Goat 3, Goat 4, and so on.

I'm a simple man. I'd call him Goat.

It also could be an energy thing. I think it might be best to talk to a doctor and see if they have any professional advice. I'm just some guy on the interwebs who is severely underqualified to give advice. The best advice I can give is to ask someone who knows their stuff inside out.

Try not to get too involved in a task too close to any important events that you have to attend. If you do, set an alarm reminding you to drop everything at a certain time.
Spending less time on your phone and social media helps. Being forced to be bored is something that may improve memory.

Have a routine where anytime you enter or exit a location, check for all your essential items. I actually used to lose my phone a lot around 7 years ago, so I developed a habit of checking my pockets and the inside of my bag whenever I got off or on public transport.

I'm not sure if I can give the best advice on forgetfulness, although I am constantly surrounded by people who are forgetful, so I'll mention certain things I think(?) Works for them.
Writing down all your important appointments on your phone's calendar, or even a notebook that you only for that.

Ok I'm gonna finish it up here now. Sorry for spiuting out some incoherent thoughts, or if I came off too preachy lol. Hope what I said can help in some way

-refuses to learn or change their mind. An intelligent person should be open to change and ready to admit whether they had been wrong or stand their ground if they know they're right. I do think that might be difficult for some people if they don't already have a moral anchor that steers them.

In general I'd never define dumbness as a lack of knowledge, because it's impossible to know everything in life, so to some degree we'd always be dumb. But the person who I'd define as dumb is the person who is confronted with knowledge that might conflict with their previous world view, and-

-unobservant and start watching everything. Doing things like putting away your phone and earphones on public transport and watching what's happening around you as a conscious effort can help you become more "wise" to some degree.

Watching people and trying to read people's mind from their body language also is something I see as intelligent. Observation and paying attention to surroundings is something that I find very important, and the only way an unobservant person can change themselves is to realise that they are-

-experiences really helped build up a greater understanding of the world. Just willing to be a listener, and to observe the stories of others while asking guided questions really helps. Reading international literature from countries or people unlike myself also helped.

-that by a general desire to change. Because I felt like I was not wise, I sought to talk to as many people as possible and experience as many different things as possible. Talking to people of different races, cultures and ideologies, and asking specific questions about their beliefs and-

I think dumbness is an interesting concept. What I define as dumb is different than what other ppl define it as. I see it as a lack of emotional intelligence and observation skills. I used to be in a position where I felt a lot more dumb (not that I'm smart now by any means), but I managed to alter-

Hobbies are just more enjoyable when it doesn't feel like I'm performing them for someone.

I think the more private you make your life on social media, the more satisfied you become with it. I don't know if that makes me hypocritical, though, because I love engaging with creators who post publicly, but I myself like to keep as much of my life as possible private.

Yes, there will always be bigger things, but the smaller things are also important to highlight.

Yeah Trump's administration keeps topping itself in terms of its absurdity (removing laws banning segregation in restaurants and other public places by third party contractors is the biggest for me), but it's also important that people from all walks of life speak up about this will affect them.

Tbf the nature of bluesky means that we follow accounts for their unfiltered thoughts. You don't need to write a book or a thesis to be worth listening to.

Definitely makes reading physical feel more special because you have to carve the time out for it. It's a very private yet intimate act. You hide yourself from the rest of the world, but you meld your mind with that of the author to have an experience that is both fully and neither yours nor theirs.

I agree for most audiobooks, but for some reason, children's books tend to have incredible audio narrators. I love Winnie the Pooh narrated by Peter Dennis and The Little Prince narrated by Humphry Bower. It helps that those stories are short enough that it's easy to reread them in multiple formats.

Imo audiobooks can be great, but I feel like they reduce the imagination part of the reading experience. I like deciding how all the characters in the book act and sound.

For a moment I read that as Jack Black and thought, "He really is in everything, isn't he"

Tbf, the types of people that pop on sky news are not always the most articulate. You would've easily run circles around them, so don't put yourself down too much.

Embarassment is just something you have to force yourself to experience, and the more you do, the less you'll feel it. It just comes with the territory of socialising, I guess.
comment in response to

I saw a video on YouTube once that changed my perspective on this. It talked about how embarrassment should be seen as the cost of entry rather than something to be avoided.
I think it's inevitable to feel embarrassed when talking to new people, but that doesn't mean you did something wrong.

Tbf despite the much smaller audience here, the community feels so much better. You might get like 2 or 3 comments per post, but I feel like the people on bluesky are much more engaged with creators. Definitely feels like old-school twitter.

I wish you had commented on the fact that Matteo Mattapace was banned from the spiel de jahres for wearing a badge showing support for Palestine. Otherwise, great video.

My favourites are A Scene at the Sea and Kikujiro. Personally think that they're worth checking out if you haven't already (although opinion on them is more divisive than something like Hanabi).

There will always be people who disagree with you and make fun of you. Best thing to do is to ignore it and move on. People are dumb and love to pretend their subjective opinions are objective. I guarantee the only reaction a troll like this had to this post was one of amusement due to the reaction.

Wish you had the opportunity to get another long-running series published. Giant days left a hole in my heart that is yet to be filled.
