I think I learned the concept of pathological demand avoidance years ago, but somewhere along the way my brain forgot the actual word and I started conflating it with "oppositional defiance." or referring to it as "like, mild oppositional defiance?" because I'm aware that ODD is much more serious

do people actually wink at other people? to like, flirt? like is this a thing that actually happens naturally in the real world, or is it just a way for authors and Hollywood writers to evoke flirtatious intent in lieu of dragging the audience through hours of dialogue?

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

If you want to understand why so much of the Epstein coverage feels so weirdly icky and bad faith, this article gets at the main dynamic I’m seeing. The takeaway is that men use allegations of rape as a domination contest. Yelling “rapist” doesn’t always translate into care for survivors.

Heroku was a lot of things to a lot of people. It jump-started the careers of many very smart people. It pioneered a lot of cloud architecture that we now take for granted. It hasn’t been relevant for a while now, but Heroku’s impact on the industry is undeniable.

Every single culture in earth now uses Native American ingredients, but there are a *literal handful* of places where you can find those ingredients served in their original recipes. Because ingredients are not recipes.

Fitbit app sleep for this week. 3 hours 35 minutes per day average. The app comments: "You haven't hit your goal yet this week."

Bar chart visualizing sleep duration for this week with data logged Sunday to Thursday. The Y axis goes from 0 hours to 8 hours with a goal threshold of 7 hours. The bars for each day go no higher than 4 hours with one that doesn't even reach 3 hours.

Below the graph there are rows listing a couple entries from this week. Today 4 hours 9 minutes, sleep score 72, fair. Yesterday 3 hours 40 minutes (sleep score is obscured by the "Log sleep" button). The row for the previous day is partially visible and lists 3 hours 22 minutes.

“In fact, many people who would aspire to the role of an organizer drop off simply because they do not have the energy, the stamina, to knock on doors day after day. That is why one finds many such people sitting in coffee shops talking and theorizing instead of organizing” 👀👀👀
The act of registering to vote does several things. It marks the beginning of political modernization by broadening the base of participation. It also does something the existentialists talk about: it gives one a sense of being. The black man who goes to register is saying to the white man, "No." He is saying: "You have said that I cannot vote. You have said that this is my place. This is where I should remain. You have contained me and I am saying 'No' to your containment. I am stepping out of bounds. I am saying 'No' to you and thereby I am creating a better life for myself. I am resisting someone who has contained me." That is what the first act does. The black person begins to live. He begins to create his own existence when he says "No" to someone who contains him.

But obviously this is not enough. Once the black man has knocked back centuries of fear, once he is willing to resist, he then must decide how best to use that vote. To listen to those whites who conspired for so many years to deny him the ballot would be a return to that previous subordinated condition. He must move independently. The development of this awareness is a job as tedious and laborious as inspiring people to register in the first place. In fact, many people who would aspire to the role of an organizer drop off simply because they do not have the energy, the stamina, to knock on doors day after day. That is why one finds many such people sitting in coffee shops talking and theorizing instead of organizing

false dichotomy but if you have to choose, which is worse? - someone who occasionally does good, meaningful, impactful work but the rest of the time is alienating, counterproductive, or downright harmful - someone who sits on their ass and watches from the sidelines but also doesn't stir shit up

YA fiction has had its time to shine, now is the time for 42 year old fiction, middle adult fiction, where all the plots and romance involve cheese and heartburn and back pain. The climax of each novel is finding a really nice sandwich, or finally figuring out where that thing went.
