People really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.
deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

Fable 5 - the AI that's so smart it's supposed to be dangerous to use? Yeah, it just confused `const`, `constexpr`, `consteval`, `constinit` and the concepts of "static initialization" and "constant initialization" You CANNOT blindly trust the AI tools!

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting.
Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

This is why we need UBI and other front line social supports. Mental illnesses can’t be handled with our current system because capitalism gets in the way. We need to have an option for people to make their lives easier so they can maybe recover.
