Our attention is now our greatest currency & complacency will be our downfall. Fight the urge to put your head in the sand & live in complacency for your comfort. Yesterday in a text to my ex I told him, “If I'm going to focus my rage into positive change, I can't have a clouded & complacent mind.”

I think about all the people I wish I had been able to be closer to if the weight of the city hadn’t sat squarely on my chest all the time. I don’t think I deserve another chance w/anyone, but I hope I can stoke these friendships now that I’m not always panicked. I hope I can be a good friend. (8/8)

The thing is, the second I felt settled here I started using a planner/calendar. I’ve been mailing birthday cards. I finally reached out to people & sobbed at the replies I got so quickly. I thought I was forgotten about. I lamented the friendships I couldn’t forge. I hated myself. (7/8)

Something I knew all along. I tried desperately to make friends while I lived in Pittsburgh but always felt like I fell short. I couldn’t be the friend people wanted of me. I knew it was the agoraphobia all along. I couldn’t leave my house. I couldn’t hang out. I was a bad friend. (6/8)

I tried to let those I talked to regularly know I’d be distant in advance of things going sideways in an effort to be a good friend, but fear I ended up still being a shitty friend & in the end lost a friend over it all. I realized something these last few months though. (5/8)

Housing insecurity hits hard when you grew up well under the poverty line in a trailer out on a dirt road that didn’t have heat some winters. My agoraphobia was out of control. My suicidal ideation was suddenly a daily concern of becoming more. I cried so much. I felt terrified & lost. (4/8)

I also knew this year was going to be hard for me on a personal level, but I couldn’t have guessed how hard. Let alone how hard overall w/world events. I started the year w/ MONTHS of migraines, an MRI, & no relief. The move was crushing for me. (3/8)

I spent from 2009 - 2024… 15 YEARS, allowing social media & texting to be the only way I stayed in touch. I hate texting & I hate social media. Facebook is why I forgot everyone’s birthday, the ease made me lazy. I knew leaving socials was going to be lonely, which is why I made a Bluesky. (2/8)

Nix Muse @tactilemuse.bsky.social · 12h

Today I did something I had been putting off for months until I felt like I had my feet back under me. I sent a mass email to everyone who said that they wanted to stay in touch via a Google form I made before I left Meta socials. I wanted to be sure I could make staying in touch a priority. (🧵1 /8)

RIGHT. You kids are so close to the answer to everything! #DontPanic #DoYouHaveYourTowel

A child told me this week that the "new thing" is saying FORTY ONE and then doing some sort of back and forth hand motion by your face... Me:

kermit the frog is covering his mouth with his hand and says `` oh no ... 41 !!! '' .

One thing that's great about AI is that I immediately know which people are not worth my time.

Finally have all the art from the last house inside the walls of this one. Couldn’t figure out why it felt like we had less space for art. It’s bc of all these windows. I traded wall space for the light. I’m ok w/that. Started to sort it to figure out what to purge. Me: This is half the clown art.

A stack of framed art (and a clown “neon” light wrapped in paper) leaning against an ochre corduroy chair. Below it a blue rug. All of the art is of clowns.

In addition; you never look uglier than when you use Ai to filter your selfies through. You look like shit, bestie. That smooth ass/no pore skin has you looking like a brainless tasteless ghoul.

Truth

The underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

I've never seen her live, but I bet it's transcendent. This song also gave me goosebumps. I love these videos so much.

Star Trek: TNG is maybe the purest human drama ever created. A man helps his robot son learn how to be human, and whether human is even a good thing to be, while being tested by the man’s best frenemy, God.
