Alexi Pappas on time: “'I don’t have enough time' is not a useful phrase when it comes to anything related to your dream. It’s okay to actively choose to do something or not, but don’t blame time.”

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

What in the hell is happening here? How can ANYONE try to claim a sign that says “everyone is welcome here” is controversial? Make these fuckers explain themselves. Specifically, who is not welcome and please, put it in writing. I hate it here. It’s so appallingly ignorant and racist.

Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying ‘Everyone is welcome here’
"There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here, or not everyone is welcome here,” argues Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher.

The World Happiness Report came out yesterday, and here's their main finding: Acts of benevolence — helping others — predict happiness more strongly than income. What are you doing to help others? Do you find it makes you happy? It sure does for me. Every little act does.

You may think this is a frivolous question, but today — March 20 — is in fact International Day of Happiness. Declared by the United Nations in 2013, this special day recognizes the importance of happiness as "a fundamental goal" in people's lives around the world. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Can you look at these 9 photos and not smile on International Day of Happiness?
March 20 is International Happiness Day — a day that the United Nations had dedicated to the celebration of joy. We asked photographers around the world to share a picture that can bring bliss.

I’ve had a few “bad days” recently. Maybe you have too. When I am honest with myself and I look at the day that was bad, I realize it was just a few things that took less than 5 minutes of my day. I didn’t have a bad day, I had a few crappy things that happened to make me think the whole day was bad

Fred Rogers was born 97 years ago today, March 20, 1928. He’s someone I learned a lot from. “Look for the helpers” is my favorite nugget of wisdom learned from him. Happy Birthday, Mister Rogers. Thanks for all you taught and continue to teach even after your death.

“America is deeply unprofitable” it’s a country not a B2B startup you fucking dweeb

Make no mistake, just like in a private company, these are losses. America is deeply unprofitable, far away from breaking even and if outsiders stop lending us money, we will go bankrupt.
So, in case you didn't know better, if you are still wishing DOGE to fail, you are wishing for America to default.

Want to be happier? Perhaps one of the foremost students of happiness in history can help you. Aristotle’s had 10 virtues for happiness that seem to be helpful to me. Maybe they’ll be helpful to you as well. happyaf.substack.com/p/aristotles...

Is BlueSky the new twitter or just one more place trying to recapture something that’s been lost for a long time?

Bluesky feels a lot more deserted than Twitter ever was in the beginning. While marketers ruin everything, at least they are fun to talk to. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
