Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Genuinely; always stay curious and open minded. Get therapy, for sure.

But also; let go of any insecurities you still have about your worth and your value and being cool. Being liked for what you portray.

People are expecting to meet a fully fledged adult. So be yourself, as you want to be.

Man, a lot of things get better. You don’t have to always try to find out what you like anymore. To “create” yourself.
You’re you. You know what food you like. What movie genres. The spot around the corner.

You’re provably also past living up to your potential; you’re BEING you. It rocks.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I flew to Istanbul with a friend who really loves cats, and the first thing we did after settling into the hotel was go buy cat treats. We’ve been saying hi to kitties all over the city for the past few days.

Jamen som én der lider af det i stigende grad, så er min vigtigste bekymring faktisk om mænd finder mig tiltrækkende.

For the past few years, I have gleefully buying books - and passing a lot of them on to others once I’ve read them. And recently, I’ve re-found my love for the library.

Physical books are a joy. And they are becoming increasingly important.

Boze the Library Owl @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social · 7d

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Great quote from Fabrizio & Tom's new AI & Docs podcast:

“…this is a good reason for people to be optimistic about the future of docs: if AI tools are really poor without good documentation, then which company is going to undercut themselves by removing documentation?”

We recommend this podcast! 😊
