I set myself my semi-regular January challenge of not reading any novels (exception for the French one I’m slowly working through) and I’m actually going mad already. So many books I want to read. But the madness is good(?) for me. Creates change

I'll have to try them based on that, if I get the chance. I love coffee-flavour baked goods and McVities Café Noir is the only local standard that fills that gap.

Well I have completely wasted the day, good job me. I was reading decades-old drama about the bad behaviour of an internet personality for like an hour and a half, and the worst of it was it wasn't even the first time I dived into that particular situation

It doesn't feel like it's doing anything unique for me to get stuck on it like this but I can't get it out of my head

If they put that energy into getting good things would be very different. But seriously, sorry you're dealing with that. I can't actually handle the culture round PVP/competitive gaming where that's normalised

If someone needs to deal with their anxiety by talking about it in loops, it needs to be with someone who isn't me. And I think that's OK

Which is also the way someone who hasn't dealt with anxiety reacts to it so it sounds kind of callous... but it actually works for me, and if it doesn't work for you then I'm not the person to be talking to. There's a family member whose anxiety I need to manage this way and it's the only way for me

I'm not a good person to vent to with anxious thoughts because I manage my own anxiety by doing things, and I'm going to say the same thing to someone venting. Is there something you can do? ok do it. Is there nothing you can do? Well it won't get better worrying about it, do something else.

These actually sound appealing, which is not something I'm used to saying about special editions of foodstuffs

the idea of a singular universal “following” list is misguided — if you’re fixated on this, your brain is still too conditioned and attached to the dying era of traditional social media
where we’re going we don’t need “following” and “followers”

“should my atproto app re-use Bluesky’s follow/profile lexicons?”
my 2 cents: in your onboarding flow, let users choose to “connect” an existing social graph & set it as the default, or start fresh w/ a new social graph
like feeds, users should be able to choose their social graph & use multiple

I mean I'm sure I am fucking up to this day, still mainly through insufficient spine, but I feel better about my 30s and hopefully I can make it so my 40s are pleasant to look back on from a character point of view

It's why my 30s were the decade of realising "oh harmless little me in my 20s was not actually that harmless or blameless". I think we're all fucking up in our 20s, in fairness, but I do massively kick myself over some things

Something I think it's important to keep in mind if you deal with "rejection sensitive dysphoria" (which is a concept I relate to but in the way of a cat refusing to get into a carrier to go to the vet) and I think thisss is super important to why it's a touchy topic: www.tumblr.com/transhumanis...

I'd like something like an RSS feed for IG stories so I don't have to login regularly but don't miss what's going on with friends, but when I search ways to view stories without using the app I only find creepy stalker apps for anon viewing. No, bud, I want to use my login but less frequently

Why am I not willing to sleep yet?? By stupid shit I mean reminiscences of the past, livejournal-level over-sharing, using the internet for therapy and not in some depressing chatgpt way but in the old-school way. Unfortunately I am too wise to do that any more, mostly
