Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 11d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

I have a real soft spot for kanji with the 雨 radical, like 雫, 零, 霜, 雪, 霧 - I think they're really pretty. Not 露 though, 露 is not a friend

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

i feel like we need to start pushing back with "gen z would probably want to work as much as their parents if they were being compensated just as well as their parents were and had the same buying power" just to shift the narrative to "greedy employers aren't paying the same"

Gen Z's employability problem
By Rachel Kleinman, Editor at Linkedin News ¿
Generation Z's values don't align with those of today's hiring managers, writes Suzy Welch, professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, in The Wall Street Journal. According to her team's analysis, just 2% of Gen Z members prioritize achievement, learning and an unbridled desire to work - the values companies prize most in new hires. That disconnect complicates an already challenging professional landscape for young Americans. Recent data shows that artificial intelligence automation is eliminating entry-level roles, a phenomenon that disproportionately affects Gen Z workers.
