turns out so many "doing nothing" activities like staring outside the window and going for long walks are actually key to doing everything
Sitting by a window is linked with improved cognitive performance.

WE AS A SOCIETY HAVE DEMONIZED THE LEARNING PROCESS AND THE CONCEPT OF "FAILING FORWARD" FOR TOO LONG. WE MUST TEACH OURSELVES TO ENJOY LEARNING AGAIN EVEN IF WE STRUGGLE, CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE
The main reason why most people don't succeed at anything is because they're not prepared to be bad at something for a long time.

The acclaimed psychologist Abraham Maslow
One of the worst feelings in life is knowing you're meant for more and doing nothing about it.

women are socialised to believe that the gravest sin they can commit is to inconvenience others and it is maddening to realise just how inconsiderate men are allowed to be

it's actually crazy when you think about it. how much you could learn and how many projects you could build in one year if you took the 2 hours you spend scrolling on your phone every day and put them into your own projects instead. a business. a side hustle. training your body and getting fit. doesn't matter what. you could change your life drastically just by using your time better.
Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Because attention is not free.

what a fucking read. a master of biter satire.
'Kourouma succeeded in showing that the nègre (nonhuman, no-writer, nonaware) does not exist. Even as Africans and non-Africans beg him to distinguish himself as a “nègre” writer. The misunderstanding lies in the fact that language is a symbolic institution.' — Nimrod

in bisaya the word "yawa" means the devil but based on the Visayan epic "Hinilawod" yawa short for 'Nagmalitong Yawa Sinagmaling Diwata' a powerful goddess, a skilled warrior, a babaylan, the Spaniards demonized her name into a curse word 🥹
the cia would puncture holes into the necks of dead soldiers to mimic aswang bites as a scare tactic against filipinos rebels during the 50s. our mythological creatures were mostly viewed as protectors until colonizers used twisted our legends and them against us

Don't let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.
