i think the challenge and defense of ideas is crucial in maintaining an ability to think critically and also in tempering your ideas to ensure they are sound and well supported. but even the mildest challenges are taken as open hostility, with the volatile social media environment. all or nothing.

this might be controversial but i think worldviews should be constructed on hard evidence and not whatever feels good or whatever's most convenient. unfortunately even i fall victim to ideological laziness. incurious complacency.

whenever i make a post that could amount to some sort of Take or half type one out i am gripped by a sense of how pointless it is. people will agree if i reinforce their existing worldview, dismiss it if not, regardless of whether i'm right or wrong

the worst part about having to stay in bed while sick when you exercise regularly is you also get that "flu" from not working out. my muscles are used to being worked hard and they ache when i don't get to

most useless skill i used to have was being able to ride a unicycle. it's actually easier than people think. skateboarding is harder

hmm. feel like the infection is deeper in my lungs. but i also feel less feverish and awful. so i think overall am still improving. main risk here would be getting a secondary bacterial infection while my lungs are vulnerable

i swear being faceblind and autistic i feel like my every interaction with people irl sounds like i am someone who is having their first ever conversation. i am generally well... liked? tolerated? appreciated? in spite of this but i definitely am the workplace oddball

reading worm is so funny when you know more about arthropods than the author. taylor hebert did all that but i would have done worse. bullet ants aren't named that for no reason

i have been openly non binary for two years now and people still gender me as a man or a woman even when i ask them not to. im limited in the feeling i have to spare for it when im so busy but i do notice and i don't love it

upside to having the worst case of the flu i have ever had is i physically cannot vape even if i wanted to. makes it a lot easier to ride out the quitting process when it's not even an option
