- The other day I bought a used album called “The Sounds Wasps Make”. When I got home I played it and thought to myself “this is nothing like the sounds wasps make”. Then I realised I was playing the B side.

One of the most difficult things about all this is…life goes on. Democracy is crumbling but, I am still job hunting. Democracy is crumbling but, I have to sort daycare. Democracy is crumbling but, I need to clean my car. Democracy is crumbling but, the floor needs mopping.

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.

I think the lasting legacy of the internet will be tricking people into believing they know everything. We ingest more information in an hour than our ancestors did in a year, yet we are more dangerously ignorant than ever. I guess the other legacy will be easy shopping.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I have a few spare moments before bed tonight, so let's play everyone's favorite game: WHICH CARTRIDGE ART DO YOU PREFER: REGIONAL N64 EDITION! I'm not going to include any PAL art tonight (minus Quest 64) as I don't have a ton and they were frequently similar to the Americas. Here we go! 🧵🧵🧵

Coincidentally read this part of Terry Pratchett's "Guards! Guards!" over lunch. (My first Pratchett book.) Here, the soon-to-be-former heads of the city are realizing there's a new monster in charge, each wishing one of the others would stand in protest. I heard Pratchett was incisive, but dang. 👀

We probably all need to become more blatantly anti-Silicon Valley. Give me less innovation, and more soul. New technology doesn’t mean infinite progress especially without being grounded in what it means to be human.

Do you find yourself on SM more than you want to be, perhaps more than you find helpful to your brain/body? That's not unusual, especially these days. Our instincts are to know more, connect more, and commiserate more, that's all very human of you! Ideas from me, a MH therapist👇

In toxic relationships, you're forced to choose between honesty and loyalty. You bite your tongue to protect their ego. In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of loyalty. You speak your mind to help them grow. When you have trust and respect, candor shows care.

I vividly remember the exact moment when I looked around me and realized I was working for the mafia. My naive young suburban ass was stunned, but not scared. I'm grateful for the decade I knew them, and what I learned. Now? I'm terrified of my own government. I was never afraid of the boys.

I think sometimes it helps to think of your attention as currency. And to ask yourself: 1) Who did I (directly or indirectly)give my attention to today? 2) Did they deserve it? and 3) If they didn't deserve it, wouldn't it be better if I cut them off from that attention-supply?
