"Hey, wie wäre es, wir tun einfach so, als wäre Apokalypse. Dann rennen Zuckerberg, Thiel, Musk und alle anderen in ihre abgelegenen, sicheren Bunker und sperren sich ein. Und wir anderen könnten ohne die zurück zur Normalität."

Super Idee von @oliverburkeman drüben auf Substack.

A helpful book for writers and all creatives. Here’s a sample: “Maybe our responsibility isn’t to get our arms around [the world], nor to justify ourselves before it, but to embody as completely as possible the momentary expression of it that we are.” #oliverburkeman #authors #creativity #writers

I'm bored with Bluesky. No matter what I try it's just endless politics 😕

Politics, as Oliver Burkeman points out, is *not* the base layer of reality:

There’s an idea I keep circling back to because I can’t figure out exactly how to express it, but iI think it’s really important, and it’s something like this: politics isn’t the base layer of reality...

Seventy is the new 100%

Taking action without full certainty. Growth only happens in that gap. It’s where the magic of guts and resilience are born.

What do you think of this idea from the #OliverBurkeman newsletter, The Imperfectionist?

" Nuair a thuigeann tú go bhfuil do chás níos measa ná mar a cheap tú, ní gá duit dul tríd an saol a thuilleadh agus tú fáiscthe, ag súil go mór go bhfaightear bealach chun an eitleán a chosc ó thuairteáil. "

MT @oliverburkeman Is gap btwn parents' expected & actual happiness a uniquely modern thing? // I think "happiness" as a metric is modern.
December 26, 2024 at 10:41 PM
.@oliverburkeman I think "happiness" is an odd metric. I'm not "happy" when worried for my children, but that almost doesn't matter.

@oliverburkeman Not that I've thought about this a lot. Or anything. (The piece is also so flat-out well-written! Thanks for tweeting it!)

@oliverburkeman This is part of how I had an undetected tumor in me for upwards of 10 yrs, undetected despite copious pregnancy ultrasounds.

@oliverburkeman It was RIGHT THERE & no one saw it until I started having crazy symptoms & we looked. It's kind of astonishing really.
