oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

I miss when "AI" was exciting to me. Questions of morality, rediscovering our humanity—so many wonderful stories in sci-fi. I love Data from Star Trek, KOS-MOS and MOMO from Xenosaga, HAL9000 from 2001, Ava from Ex-Machina. Now "AI" just means corporations killing creatives and our planet.

Reading a fucked up book cannot make you evil, but becoming convinced that anyone who reads a fucked up book is somehow tainted, less trustworthy or dangerous will make you vulnerable to doing evil shit VERY quickly.

taking a break from algorithms - still using social media, but only the chronological subscription feed and i forgot this phenomenon that used to happen on the pre-algorithm internet where i would run out of posts to look at, get bored, and feel motivated to create something of my own crazy

I don't know anything about womenswear, but I stumbled upon Caleigh O'Donnell's Instagram last year and find her content to be very thoughtful and substantive. Goes beyond "here's how to look cool" or "everyone needs this" cliches. Many frameworks can be applied to menswear. IG itscalbal

someone on tumblr said it better than i could

I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.
doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

I frequently see exhortations to build community as a resistance and survival strategy and that tends to leave me feeling lost in my right-leaning suburb but attending our local language exchange and talking to neighbors from Columbia and Ukraine and Taiwan feels the closest so far

One of the single best things you can do for yourself as an intermediate or above Japanese learner is to revisit pieces of media that you've enjoyed. You may not think you're making progress, but when you realise how much of it is just clicking this now, you'll realise how far you've come.
