And creativity - the least gatekept of human endeavours whose only enemy is relentless attempts to leach off creators

To be fair, it's a completely different metaphor when the person opening the box has been so primed by marketing and social pressure that they physically NEED the box to contain a dog.

It's a bit like when someone tells you an old Japanese word for the joy of meeting a stranger on a remote, snowy path. Slop has done the hard yards as a working word, spent some time in the wilderness, then returned to perfectly embrace and embody a modern analogue!

The cathartic part of creation: Seeing number go up on Spotify.

The tedious labour of creation:
Discovering new ideas, evolving them, mastering skills, developing a voice, shaping & realising a vision, seeing yourself - and being seen - in a lifetime body of work.

That was close! Good thing she pulled herself up!

Guaranteed 20 minutes earlier she was thinking she might need to poo but then she heard the music and saw her friends and thought "I GOTTA DANCE!". Kid life is navigating through extreme highs and lows and never accepting the mediocrity of the easy "middle path"!

What if they are into action and sports photography? The opportunity for synergy!

Surely this person is doing a bit... Surely.

Are you being inappropriately sarcastic about the serious subject of word preferences?! 😮
December 12, 2025 at 10:12 PM
Are they really trying to go for a "working-class heroes" vibe?

I choose to imagine (yes, I know, incorrectly) that they are all POD and their slanted text has caused a small outbreak of chronic neck pain and the missing last 30 pages caused their readers some relief...

Please tell me we will see your happy little mistakes!

It just underscores how completely disconnected from humanity he must be. I bet if you asked him he would say "if you ask a dozen people they give you a dozen different answers but AI is definitive!" not realising there are a hundreds of correct answers and parenting is in the choice

OK... Last question I promise, does this align with how describing a piece if text as a tract has the "feel" of it being drawn out - maybe even over-long?
December 9, 2025 at 10:13 PM
I'm selling shitty trinkets for less than they cost and they're flying off the shelf! Give me billions and all your water to be part of this hold rush!
December 9, 2025 at 10:06 PM
So a tract of land might be a parcel of land that is travelled or worked?
December 9, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I was explaining to a cousin that when we were little I assumed all kids enjoyed reading dictionaries and their little snippets of history. It is cheering to see so many folk who may have had a similar bent!
December 9, 2025 at 9:54 PM
So would detract be akin to derail?

If it is any consolation, while Australian actors also put in a good showing, I (not an actor) always fall back on my Gomer Pyle when challenged to sound American...
December 9, 2025 at 9:49 PM
I am increasingly certain every one of these "blue sky billionaires" thinks of the world, and the people in it, as devices to be manipulated to their will. We need to start treating accruing billions as the same sort of indicator as a child harming animals...

Just out of curiosity, what percentage of agriculture in the US is corporates or portfolio-diversifiers trying to min-max a grift?
December 9, 2025 at 3:21 AM
"Understanding things in context" to absolve a behaviour is always going to include a bit of "telling on yourself"
December 9, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Everyone's journey - and the path they take - is different but I hope you are feeling the heady rush of energy inside of you!
December 7, 2025 at 4:53 AM
Why subtext when you can text? Like they say, "Overtell, don't tell"
