I hate this sensation of constant time poverty - where I am just meeting my obligations and there’s no time left to rest or to regroup or to be still in nature or do art

Downplaying your achievements is not the antidote to appearing arrogant.
Humility is acknowledging your weaknesses, not denying your strengths. Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself.
Owning your success doesn't make you a narcissist—it makes you a role model.

No taxation without representation. If our representatives (ie, Congress) have no authority over the Treasury, why should citizens be compelled to pay into it? Asking for 335 Million friends.

They say pandas are the dumbest animals in the world, but I bet they never listen to sad music when they’re sad so they can be even more sad.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.
Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.
When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

what a great use of chart to convey a message
This cool visualization of atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa by @robbieandrew.bsky.social will be very messy when we reach net zero, but fortunately we don't have to worry about that anytime soon.

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Conviction is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for reflecting deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

Fun fact: it was over 1,000(!) years ago that someone (a Persian astronomer) made the first known drawing of another galaxy!
Described as “a cloud” at the mouth of a fish (Arabic constellation), it’s the Andromeda Galaxy.
