Starting a podcast shouldn't be this hard... but it is. Which is weird because a lot of people who seem kind of soft in the head have managed but I have struggled. Here is my first ever episode of Imposter Syndrome! open.spotify.com/episode/4vqe...

True crime keeps women worrying about implausible scenarios. Stranger abduction (0.00007%) Serial killers (50 active in US, pop 330M) while 80% of violence against women is intimate partner violence and 70% of murderers are known to women victims. Keeps focus off of actual threats. #truecrime

The biggest problem with a writing conference is I feel the need to go and write but I also need to go to the classes I signed up for. 🧐 #notwrititng #quills #fiction #writingcommunity #ampitching

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)
Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...
Santa Monica's elite are using an airport to block affordable housing
A campaign to build housing on the site of the soon-to-be-shuttered airport is drawing pushback from opponents of new development.

Am I really considering opening a yoga studio? Is this what I'm doing at this moment with my life. I mean I wanted to (15 year dream) but I figured it wouldn't be for another 10 years. #yogasky #lostmymind
