I touched on the difficulty of finding activities to do instead of scrolling on our phones in "How to Delete Facebook and Instagram Without Regret". Hazel Thayer does a deep dive on why it's so hard to break tech habits.

Everytime your parents compare you to a cousin throw out one of their expired condiments.
1 point for every day they don’t notice.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Jonaya shares crucial insights on networking as a Black person. Read the thread!
I resonate with avoiding being palatable & devoured. I'm *not* a palatable marginalized person in the space and, unsurprisingly, that costs me opportunities. But I refuse to let career advancement override my values.

When we speak about networks, friendships and ways to connect in professional spaces we need to remember that not all of us start from the same sets of advantages. Not all of us value the same sets of connections. I ride for those who ride for me, and I try and avoid being palatable and devoured.

Black creatives in general interface with structural oppression and with business in ways that others simply do not have to do. So when the rug is pulled from underneath you you can fall much harder. There's a lot of brilliant people who aren't active in the space anymore. Their contributions lost.

Any conversation about networking should include the fact that networking isn't a purely benign skill that works exactly one way. Different cultures and ethnicities have wildly different experiences. I must literally engage my double consciousness to interact with business worlds. Business me.

Less than 5 copies remain for ARC, Magus, and What Dust Remains, while 9 are still available for Inang-Uri.
I initially thought they'd last until New Year, but folks have been FAST. With 90+ copies downloaded with each game, I hope they've been a source of good holiday cheer!
