I just want a world where quiet, good work is rewarded over dancing for an algorithm. Where children aren’t used as props online, where we hear about good work not because of a social post, but because a human we trust talks about it. Where we don’t need it to be listed online to matter. That’s all

Probably one of the weirdest and coolest things I’ve ever done - I hung an invitation for a paper collage night in the elevator for the other girls from my block, and we had the BEST time. Let’s bring back neighborhood communities and casual hangouts in private spaces.

Life is better since:
- Instead of making statements, I make bets and test them,
- Instead of looking for binary answers I see things as a spectrum,
- Instead of seeking definite answers I look for patterns

Yeah I can read about something but how can I _really_ learn what it is? This was the question that struck me during a morning walk and this piece is an attempt to answer it.

Here's a great list of ideas if you feel like you're too engrossed in that little glass rectangle in your pocket (or...the one you're staring at RIGHT NOW 😜).
Bonus idea: a friend of mine has started inviting people to have lunch at his house. "Come on over, let's make some sandwiches."

Is there a word to describe Obsidian's business model? Revenue primarily comes from optional paid services that have free alternatives.
Freemium isn't quite right because freemium apps typically paywall features, or have usage-based pricing. Obsidian's features are free and there's no usage limit.

2 years married to my dude today. The most amazing human being I know, I’m not even exaggerating. He just wants me to be 100% me and I just can’t put in words how amazing it is to have someone in my life who truly loves me no matter what.

I 100% believe you can make yourself become a hardcore nerd about anything at all, but I’m yet to precisely describe the process to do so. Any ideas?
Let’s say that for whatever reason you need to start genuinely caring about something random, like lightbulbs or seats in trains. What would you do?

The only right way to use Facebook in 2025:
- in browser, installing an app only if I want to post something & deleting it immediately after
- religious minimalism with # of groups I’m in / # of people I follow
- cleaned up with #blockit app
