This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

Reminder that when things are getting attacked it is not the moment to retreat, grow complacent, or to let fear consume your thoughts. The energy transition isn't just about technology; it’s about people & building a future where care & justice guide our choices. Together we can make lasting change.

I am allergic to self-promo, so dang do I love it when other people promote me.
If you love something, set it free... into the world, by demanding that everyone you know experience it.
Word of mouth is one of the best things for creators who are exhausted from the effort of trying to be a Brand.

Reddit’s collective action of moderators banning links to X is more powerful than you think.
Often when I’m doing research for articles, Reddit hits top 5 in Google results.
This will have a cumulative effect for SEO and drive X even further off the main road of the internet highway.
