Something I'm still trying to teach myself: Rest, like kindness, doesn't need to be earned.
Gentle reminder that you don't have to "deserve" rest.🌱
You need rest to function. It's not a treat you get for functioning.

Nazis always obsess over fonts.
In Germany, the Nazi Party initially pushed Fraktur and declared Futura 'un-Germanic', with designer Paul Renner going into exile.
Just before the war they flipped, adopting Futura for its modern feel and declaring heavy types like Fraktur as suspiciously Jewish.

1000%. we made the mistake of letting men who are Good At Computer think of themselves (ourselves, who am I kidding) as some kind of elite priesthood—with a chip on our shoulder for having been bullied for being nerds!—when in fact being good at computer isn't even hard.

My wife, a prodigious sleep-talker, failed to disclose her affliction when we started dating, which led to the fright of my life the night she sat bolt upright in bed and in a low flat monotone loudly declared that “THIRTEEN BABIES REMAIN UNFATHERED.”

A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”
Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

I vividly recall realizing in the shower in March 2020 that we were entering the most online period in human history and that this would drive many people insane - and anyway, I agree completely
my personal theory is that the internet had been steadily becoming people's primary lives over the 2010s but then COVID made everybody spend a whole year online and then we just never logged off

my former boss used to do things on the computer that were so bizarre, he should have done QA for Microsoft.
him: "it's so strange - my Word doc just disappeared!"
me (after 30 seconds of confusion): "sir, you have 15 copies of your file open - every one pulled entirely off the screen"

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
