If I hadn’t gotten familiar with how bulbs survive through winter, I’d have thought this is all fake

We must stop debating the value of a human life. We certainly shouldn’t allow the capitalistic fascists to dictate who has value and who doesn’t It shouldn’t be up for debate. The value of a life isn’t a spectrum. We all have intrinsic value regardless of occupation, health status, nationality etc

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

When I hit 40, I finally understood that people simply DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOU. Like they are just going about their days and you do not feature in their mind. Once you get this, you are freer than you were.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

I feel like the thesaurus has not evolved a whole lot, google synonym search is so basic. Writers, wordsmiths, people who care about precise communication— what are your favourite thesaurus-like tools? + wish list features you haven’t seen in tools yet

today's win is not just 2 hrs of focus work, but stopping to take a break after the scheduled time. normally I tend to keep going till I'm wiped out -- so unhealthy, changing habits consciously this season. #smallwins

I got such meaningful stuff in the mail that I had to share! Since I prefer my work to be open access, I did not expect to feel what I did when I held this $138 academic text. I had less complicated feelings about my button & sticker from knezek.art that I just adore so check out my friend's art! 🥹

I always use a politician’s real name when I post to respect the people trying to mute it. I’ll use a modifier before their name, like “POS [insert name].” But I don’t like to use a name parody that then ambushes someone trying to maintain their sanity by muting political posts.

The tension with AI comes from an extremely individual-centred society being forced into collectivism, learning that personal brands, work, styles, none of that matters, everything will now be composted into a new, communal meta-material.

I scheduled some posts on LinkedIn talking about the hypocrisy in AI critique. So nervous cos I’m effectively telling some very angry people to calm down and get more constructively involved in the future of creativity with AI.
