during our Monthly Feelings Hike yesterday, my wife and I coined a new term. RAGRATS: potential regrets your brain has honed in on and created a narrative out of, which you know is untrue but still takes up emotional space. Different to REGRETS in that RAGRATS are one dimensional and oversimplified

i am genuinely so happy that in order to be a math teacher in Germany you, too, have to go through the stage of learning math where NOTHING MAKES SENSE and no amount of work seems worth it but also i HATE that in order to be a math teacher I SPECIFICALLY have to suffer like this!!!!!!!!!

Libby tells me I borrowed 305 books from the library in 2024, which compares to 317 books in 2023. I was put on hold for 205 books in 2024, which is MARKEDLY less than the 248 in 2023. I guess this shows I was reading less recently published books in 2024 and more backlist BANGERS. Woo!

damn i recently saw a tiktok about how spotify has been pushing you to listen to their mixes, NOT your music, for years and it really clicked for me! Listening to music was such a hobby in my youth, and i assumed *I* was the problem, but what if it was spotify all along?!?!?!?

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Meanwhile the Atlantic published a whole thing about "decivilization" today: “The line between a normal, functioning society and catastrophic decivilization can be crossed with a single act of mayhem.” (they mean, of course, the CEO, not the genocide)
