I feel like I can get one (1) thing done a day. Which is GREAT when I have a big thing to do because I can smash it out in a day, but it's less great when I have a small thing and then a bigger thing to do because I do the small thing and then I can't turn my brain onto the bigger thing.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"
