Buddhist / Stoic queer. Life-long Trekkie who thinks the Universe is big enough to allow a new and equal love of Star Wars.

Hobbies include trying to figure my life out and hoping never to understand Twin Peaks, only to appreciate it in all its mystery.
New video by Arno Michaelis, a former white supremacist, who does a lot of work running deradicalisation programmes. I also recommend checking out Life After Hate and his work with Pardeep Singh Kaleka if you find this interesting and want to know more.

Finally caught up with the book challenge! It was interesting to look over all my books and see in what ways the ones I selected have impacted me at different stages of my life. Looking forward to finding the next 20! 😊

Abjectification and phantasm have a lot to answer for, not just about gender but the world's problems in general.

📝Goal 5: Engage with current affairs in a healthier way.

It's been a rough ride the past couple of weeks, and I'm becoming too fixated on news. I need to strike a balance where I can be informed enough to act but also look after my own mental health and wellbeing.

Feeling like I've become too worked up with the news lately but wanting to engage and take action in a compassionate way. I decided to consult some Stoic and Buddhist videos on politics and this is one of the ones I found particularly helpful.

LibraryThing is 40% owned by Amazon so there goes another alternative to Goodreads 😠 I really don't like modern web design with its basic look, lack of functionality, excessively dynamic UI, huge margins, no caps and no borders or definition to separate areas of content.
