A few years ago I bought (on ebay) a blank diary from a certain year when I was a teenager, planning to write a fake journal, a happier version of my life in that year. Maybe I could trick myself into believing it, I thought, but eventually I threw away the still-blank diary. #journaling

Personally I think Americas problems began when people started believing in ufo’s crashing into the desert. The idea that an advanced civilization would fly millions of miles through space and then smash into the ground was always a sign of insanity.

from Nemik's "Manifesto" in Star Wars Andor: “The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”

If you work in tech—consider what your retention policies are. Do you keep things forever? Are you at an institution subject to FOIA? Really think about worst case scenarios right now.
