Recognizing a change is unlikely is a necessary part of making unlikely change, but anyone using present unlikelihood as a reason to not start expecting anyway it is acting to prevent that change from ever becoming likely.
The world is changeable. We can change anything we want.

I saw a TikTok last night that was more helpful than an entire philosophy course back in college. I realize how damning this tweet is but perspective and education are everywhere, if you’re really open to looking…

It's weird how the people who starred in Bram Stoker's Dracula have all barely aged since 1992. Probably nothing to worry about

Ask yourself:
Could this meeting be a zoom?
Could this zoom be a phone call?
Could this phone call be an email?
Could this email be a text?
Could this text be unsent?
Could we in silence retreat to the forest?
Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?

dolly parton didn’t tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen and pour herself a cup of ambition just for you to refuse to take the covid vaccine that she helped fund

We need more women/non-binary/POC in tech to help educate the men who have historically built most of the block/ban/abuse tools on social media sites to show them just *how many* ways we get harassed, and how these tools *are not* fully protecting us online.
This is exhausting.

Anthony Bourdain had one of the only shows on tv that tried with all its might to teach Americans not to be scared of other people.

Nice is not the same as kind.
Nice is not the same as ethical.
Nice is not the same as moral.
The older I get, the less interested I am in “nice.”
Nice is the gift wrap; it says nothing about what’s inside.

The smartest people I know:
1. Obsessively read books
2. Pursue new mental models
3. Enjoy intelligent discourse
4. Quickly admit when they're wrong
5. Comfortable changing their opinion
6. Surround themselves w/ intelligence
7. Seek to understand every perspective on a topic
