I'm sorry but I just can't let this go. America, land of the free. And free to be laid off if you dare to take a vacation or you aren't functioning at max capacity 100% of your work day. LITERALLY NOBODY is capable of working like a robot. Your opinion is invalid.

because our lives are more artificial, but that doesn't mean we have a monopoly on maturity. Quite the opposite. Retelling myths in winter was enough for them but we require years of therapy. This makes it visible though inaccessible and shouldn't be used as proof of collective improvement.
I saw a video the other day that claimed our ancestors didn't have the luxury of self discovery/differentiation. I'm calling BS. It's a natural part of human development. How would Jung name the process without having encountered it first?
I think the modern experience of it may be more dramatic

communicate directly.
*This is deviance. This is disrespect.*
Honey no. This is how one human being speaks to another. I never have reactions from women except those who have clear patterns of insecurity. But it's MOST men who react badly. They need kids gloves more than actual children do.
skills if it dropped into my lap. I simply speak to everyone as an equal and in the same way. Of course I am more gentle with children, but I don't change my tone of voice with them either. My voice is my voice.
But direct communication from a woman feels bad to a man who isn't used to women who
Male centered maleness:
Generally, women are raised to center male comfort and this creates men who expect women to center their comfort as well. Now being autistic and raised by a lesbian mother, I was not trained to center male comfort and I wouldn't know the blueprint for that set of social
With the way some treat people doing the actual work of healing the world and themselves, it feels like a psychological tool that allows them to distance themselves from reality.

Of course this is just one example out of thousands of garbage like this. But why though? Is it simply that these people have so little contact with their sense of self that adopting an artificial way of speaking makes them feel like part of an in group that validates their importance?
Not to mention a craft is a hand made thing. Since when did using a keyboard and mouse become "hand made?" Literally the point of a computer is to remove the hand made element, providing standard fonts and spell check, etc. it's absurd to co-opt the concept of craft for any digital thing.
But we're expected to take this nonsense seriously. Like, it's supposed to make us feel something but all I feel is weirded tf out. No historical scribe would've called his work a craft, associating himself with lowly womens' doing. But now it's acceptable as corporate speak?
But I wasn't thinking about any of that when I heard a colleague say, "craft a question." The phrase simply turned my spinal fluid to sludge. I thought what's next? Artisanal email? And why phrase it this way when the more natural, "draft a question" was right there?
Arts and crafts and the corporate accent:
Historically, art has been a paid trade held by men and crafts were the unpaid but necessary labor of women. Crafts were inferior to art and it took eons before they were considered worthy of study "academically."
Scribing was also men's work. Paid. Serious.
Today I told my friend I was library-card maxing in reference to Libby. (I've moved a few times in the past few years). And that's when I realized my desire to read more would not fix what the Internet has done to me. But it's nice to read again. Feels like coming home.
After 35, feeling like "you're not an adult," isn't the flex we've made it out to be. You've skipped your second coming of age. And no, fashion and tastes aren't what I mean. It's the ability to stick with it, commit, remain grounded, and make decisions. Live with courage, and let others live.

The midlife crisis has been sold to us as the version where we don't succeed in developing. The "cheating and buying a new car" is the outcome of the eternal child who refuses maturity. Like any other developmental stage, it cannot be rushed but avoidance only brings more problems.

We don't have enough idioms in English that equate blackness with beauty. Here's one from Arabic that we could start with. "I'm [not] doing this for the blackness of your eyes," is like saying, "I'm [not] doing this for your beauty."
Ethnocentrism unconsciously leads to seeing one's own culture as "a given." It's probably one of the mechanisms that promotes the behavior of people blaming problems on being alive rather than existing under capitalism. Unconscious bias is a huge portion of the struggle.
