Seeing this after the Kat Abughazaleb post on the front page… lol.

Right! I never would’ve heard of it if not for a random comment on that other cursed site.

Couch surfing and hostels for the win.

I’ve just been thinking of going back to Earthsea!

I will share and highly recommend this resource: Western Australia’s Centre for Clinical Interventions’s Self Help Resources. Of course, these are applicable to anyone, not just Australians. There are various pages for different types of conditions (anxiety, assertiveness, procrastinating, eating disorders, etc.), and most of them take you to self-directed workbooks you can fill out yourself. They’re not only informative, but they also guide you through your thinking about these issues and how to deal with them and grow from them.

Fair enough.

And why a Twitter account?

…Like a dog that doesn’t (and shouldn’t) drink coffee?

That seems to me more just a linguistic quirk of how English works.

I do think it betrays society’s lack of present-focused mindfulness. I’ve had a handful of friendships that I thought would go on to be quite strong and longlasting, but they fizzled out after a while. That’s not to say they were bad or failed friendships. I’m grateful for the time I experienced with them.

Lysistrata, then.

It’s hard to do so when it seems like your seeding is never connecting to anyone…

Reminds me of Buying Time, a far-future dystopia comic based around the idea that one needs to spend social credits in order to talk to people (I think for a certain length of time). Those who are credit poor are effectively shut out of society.

Brave New World/Island by Huxley got the memo.

We have lost the ability to be present in the moment, unable to confront reality without media to filter it…

Europe has a handful of upsides. The growing independence is great to see, as well as an increase in domestic defense budgets.

Ditto, never was into gardening but I’m going to try growing some herbs and tomatoes this year.

Huh, would that work for remote proctors?
