listen as somebody who has a lot of really good ideas
ideas are fundamentally worthless. sorry. we give WAY too much credence to people who have them. yeah, even good ones, dude. the only thing I respect is execution. whether it's in myself or somebody else. an idea executed is worth something

"自分のケアすらおろそかなのに、周囲のケアなどできるわけがありません。そうした人は、職場で急に体調不良を訴える人や、急な欠席に不寛容で、結果、周囲に無理をさせます。そんな職場、誰が働きたいですか？ 実際、淘汰（とうた）され始めていますよね。"
"スキンケアを始めると、鏡をよく見るようになるんです。自分が自分に見られることが増えたことで、「見られる」ことに意識が向くようになったのです。そこから、自分がいかに見る側にいたのか、一方的に品評する側にいたのかと気づけたのです。下品だったと反省しました。"

This Netflix OceanGate doc is infuriating beyond words simply because it's such a perfect encapsulation of how the arrogance and hubris and sheer STUPIDITY of wealthy tech entrepreneurs destroy everything they touch and drag the rest of us down with them.

I only had 5 minutes but successfully got my first bédé from this year's Festival de la Bande Dessinée de Montréal 😌 This one is a collection of stories by 15 artists from Quebec city. Je me rends compte que je n'ai pas souvent lu de BD sur la ville de Québec, j'adore❤️ @niqueafeu.ca

I did not imagine Marvel would one day release a MCU movie only about mental illness, addiction and other self destructive behaviors, with childhood trauma as the last boss to beat, but here we are (I really enjoyed Thunderbolt*)

I'm in Ottawa right now for the long weekend, and I finally have the mental space to look through 1.5 month's worth of photos I haven't edited yet. I never let more than 1-2 weeks go by before editing & organizing photos; I think I can finally admit that the past month has been quite rough for me

Daughter is sick again, as it happens with toddlers, and between her and I being sick so often this year I've cancelled at least 10 events or outings I was really looking forward to 🥲🥲 泣きそう

God exactly. The purpose of writing papers is FOR YOU TO THINK SOMETHING THROUGH, not because a prof has a deficit in their life that needs to be filled by reading 5-7 pages of mediocre bullshit. The bulk of things I recall from undergrad are things I wrote papers about.
I’m sorry to put it this way, but high school and college term papers, 99 percent of the time, have little value as completed work. They will never be remembered or read again. Generating them, in and of itself, is worth essentially nothing, particularly when they recapitulate existing work.

This is amazing! ❤️ I couldn't have access to proper dental care for years because I couldn't have access to group health insurance. Dental care should not be conditional, it's basic health care!

Alors que les électrices participaient pour la première fois à un scrutin, le 29 avril 1945, la politiste Sandrine Lévêque développe, dans un entretien au « Monde », les évolutions de leur vote, qui se répartit aujourd’hui entre gauche, droite et extrême droite.

Liberals - do not listen to any messaging that says "Liberals already have it in the bag so Liberal voters needn't bother voting".
Disregard that stuff, it is a voter suppression technique.
Tomorrow get out and vote come hell or high water. #cdnpoli
