Y’all didn’t have to sell this new place nearly as hard, but I’m glad :)

Please take the time to read my latest on the lessons we can learn from those who resisted the Nazis. What was the spark that separated those who resisted from those who went along with tyranny?
We need to learn how to build resistance in this dark age.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Calling yourself a critical thinker is not sufficient for critical thinking.

Recently remembered that Nonfiction exists and that people have written books that compile hours of research in a digestible format. Which is probably the most “I was born with the Internet” thing I’ve ever said. #Nonfiction #Reading #Books #Research #Writing #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.

I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

Still trying to strike that balance of being vaguely informed on here while not being driven insane. It’s a difficult balancing act.

@aron-ra.bsky.social are you no longer going to the We Can Reason Conference in Calgary? I thought I saw you listed as a speaker previously. :(

Needs to be said again:
I don’t know if we are in the evilest timeline but I definitely know that we are in one of the stupidest ones.

Seeing a random person like your tweet and then follow you is a nice experience, until you look them up and it’s yet another (usually adult) bot. It’s tiring.
If this happens with this tweet it’ll be a sad irony.

Update: We might also be approaching the evilest timeline, I’m sorry to say. Not merely the stupidest.

Red Note might not be the permanent new app TikTok alternative because of its censorship but it definitely sends a message and a fuck you to Zuckerberg for the lobbying and disinformation.

I don’t have a New Year’s Resolution except for “more books, less doomscrolling”. I had the same goal this year and made quite a lot of progress. Books can inform you while social media is designed to depress and/or enrage you.

Shout out to all the neurodivergents, heading into a week of over stimulation, no routine, sky high expectations, and non optional socialising.

I see you.

Self awareness is the most important trait you can cultivate. Only through constant introspection can you develop the wisdom necessary to be sad all the time

The real danger of living on social media is your attention is hyperfocused on only the current outrage of the day, which you will completely forget about since it will be replaced by some new outrage. And another outrage. And another. They never stop.

This is not the path to "being informed".
