Replace every unkind word and every belittling laugh that replays in your mind with my voice telling you that you are loved and wanted in this world.

18/04/2026 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Shield maintenance is a good habit regardless of current threat level so when threats do arise you are ready. It's neither "paranoid" nor "pathologically hypervigilant" to be introspective and deliberate about what you expect from others. Only you get to dictate your boundaries.

As a good person, you respond well to being treated kindly and thus assume being kind to abusers will earn you kindness in return, but that is not the case. It teaches abusers that their actions are reasonable and tolerated. You are allowed to fight back instead. Fire at will.

For those of you who have ever had to actively define yourselves in the face of those who would try to stop you: well done in standing firm against the storm of hatred.

Never underestimate the impact your small act of kindness can have on someone else's day, which ripples outward to other people's days and deep into memories long after you've forgotten your small act. You matter when you don't even realise it.

Very much so. The only AI I trust is the one on board who keeps giving us all paintings of his cat that none of us have ever prompted him for.

Don't measure your personal and career goals against those who used methodologies that violate your values to achieve those things sooner. If you lied, cheated, and stomped upon others you could rise faster too. I'm proud of you for not doing that.
