I live in a time where I can go unto a vast information network, and watch many artisans of all kinds work passionately and intimately on their crafts, making beautiful new things.

And that fills me with wonder, and awe. 💖 ✨

the world may be burning but if we're really determined, the people who made it this way could be too

Planning to get gas for this vehicle when I'm here tomorrow, because I feel like poop today, isn't lazy. It's delayed responsibility. It's not only fine—it's smart, and respectful of my current abilities.

I hate that that's a tough narrative to accept, even when -I am telling myself- because -I am The Poop-.

It's worth clarifying that when people on here talk about hating landlords, they're not talking about your pensioner grandma who helps make ends meet by renting out her spare bedroom.

They're talking about corporate entities who gamed the system in order to accumulate unfair amounts of wealth, and then used that wealth to buy up housing en masse, thereby creating artificial sacricty of shelter, allowing them to charge whatever they please for it.

I’ve used it, works perfectly fine.
Once had someone question, but I just said it’s a legal document.
DONE!

I've essentially stopped listening to NPR & severely limited the amount of time I let myself scroll the bird site. It's not that I don't know about the endless parade of brutal & terrible news & commentary; I just can't continue to soak in the trauma.

And living in outrage is not activism.

Last night, I put on music & did a bunch of handbuilding. Maybe art can't heal the world, but it heals me.

Does anyone know of any good support groups or support networks for folks with #mecfs that are NOT on Facebook? I'm looking to get away from FB but I need to conect more.

I'm thinking of bulletin boards, wbsites, online communities, that kind of thing. Any ideas?

Thanks! :)

It seems scary but it's honestly not that complex: figure out how to be hurt and disappointed and get comfortable hurting and disappointing others. Challenge yourself when you notice that you're demonizing someone for upsetting you. Allow yourself to be mad at people without needing a reason to think they're a bad person and allow others to be mad at you without taking on their projections. The reward is greater peace in your life and stronger connections to others. 4/

For all of those freelancers & contractors out there, with inflation as high as it is you probably need to raise your day rate by 10% to essentially keep your salary from last year. You shouldn't have to take the pay cut because your gov. is letting energy and food companies rake in profits.

can't believe you guys are sleeping on a monkey war. an actual monkey war

Does anyone have a good recommendations of predatory journal lists, especially for math and computer science? Asking for someone not in academia who does a lot of reading in the field and occasionally publishes and is getting very annoyed at wading through the cruft.

Give me more Opinions about the economy,
About how the workers deserve
A little less for
A little more.
Feed me your article,
Freshly picked from the Ideas section,
and I will
Swallow it,
Try to digest your 12¢-a-word piece.
Even on payday, it would be a windfall
To fill my stomach with something
Other than rice and Red Bull.

I am 100% uninterested in why you don't care about a thing I enjoy, why would anyone think they should tell someone that
