This is brilliant

There are *physical* measurements here. This isn't vibes or hot takes. People INCLUDING CHILDREN have experienced impairments that affect how they concentrate, learn, and remember.

Tried to describe the difference between an indie bookstore and a big chain bookstore, and the best I can do is a good indie feels like it’s always on the verge of happy zoomies, just a strong current of readiness to explode into joy.

Suspicions? *Dame Edith Evans voice* SUSPICIONS?

Once again tapping my sign that every time BlueSky says no one on the left or no Democrats actually uses whatever politically correct term we're discussing, it's almost always in common usage in Washington state and Oregon.

"Have them have a relationship with their identities" is cracking good character creation/development advice.

Exemplia gratia: In ST: TNG, all of Data's best episodes were about his adroid nature. Worf's character arc is his relationship with being Klingon.

Never do they seem interested in *why* so many women are angry right now. Why investigate the cause when you can just whine about the logical result.

The seething hatred they've had for Thunberg since the moment she popped up as a teenager saying, "let's not destroy the planet" because they worried (rightly) that environmentalism was a gateway to asking "who's responsible for all this shit and what else are they doing?"

i am a pretty basic straight man so i do get things wrong when it comes to feminism and listening to women generally, like a lot of men do, but this concerted effort to make women seem like they're too angry over nothing when there are clear and present dangers all over society is just insane really

Me: it is ludicrous as a premise to have some guy patroling like 15 blocks of manhattan

Also Me: if a guy dressed as a devil wanted to beat up ICE agents I and everyone in this bar would let him

Having fought with my child's school for most of a decade, I totally get you. I've also seen the other side, being the child of two excellent teachers. I suspect that if we valued teaching higher it would improve the situation, with fewer good teachers burning out, better training, etc.

I 100% believe this

And they HATE being fobbed off. They haaaate it so much. And of course they do! Kids are exquisitely sensitive to adults not giving a shit about them, and nothing says "we don't give a shit" than fobbing off engaging with them onto a machine.

Kids want to be SEEN, to be HEARD, to be engaged in human connection. They prefer presence as often as it can be had. They have no patience for distracted mmhmming.

Any parent in the history of parenting will attest to a small child's obsession for human presence and engagement.

"Mummy, watch me!"

How many of you parents just had a flashback, lol?

One of the things that really gets to me is how we spent years desperately yearning for human interaction during covid. How zoom school for kids struggled to keep kids engaged but was better than isolation. We KNOW that kids need human community to thrive.

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Worth a visit to the Met:

incredible exchange here, this website has the juice

We can all go home now

When I was a kid they sold knitting patterns by showing little girls with knight's helmets stabbing boys in the head with a dagger.
Awesome.
I never wanted to knit a sweater more than right now.

Don’t just let it be terrible, LEAN INTO it being terrible, because no one’s going to see it.

I only bring this up because someone mentioned just this week that this trick is useful, but I *still* 30 years in, when stumped, write this on the top of the page.

this is the radical, anti-establishment, and correct take. it's useful to the current sociopolitical elite if we believe that everyone is inherently terrible. we'll lower our expectations, we'll separate ourselves, we'll become selfish and hopeless.

it's not true. you'll see it as soon as you look.

This is extremely smart and I’m looking forward to trying it

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
