Trying out nicheless
I've been on the lookout for platforms on which I can jot down more sporadic thoughts. Perhaps I have found it?
Gathering thoughts…
Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I've been on the lookout for platforms on which I can jot down more sporadic thoughts. Perhaps I have found it?
I used to be a man who wanted to go into women's toilets. This wasn't a gender identity issue and I'm not a pervert. This had to do with the fact that I am the father of four daughters, who were once small girls. The default position on fathers taking their daughters to a public toilet is that they should go together…
as for the history of black amerikka, they are & have been in plain sight. over the last 500 years, we just did not have on the correct lenses to see the whips & chains evolving. the programming that took place over 500 years ago during the creating of amerikka worked so well that we don't even know what went on with…
What does a businessman or an entrepreneur do? If one is to take up the definition in trend, a person who identifies problems, make and sells solutions to people, and risk whatever he has in that pursuit is called a businessman or entrepreneur. Who else risk it all in pursuit of something? A stupid person. So to…
trocar de contabilidade, agência de publicidade e etc... parece terminar um relacionamento e começar outro. Dá um nervoso terminar
If our mind were a sail, then thoughts are the wind, Wandering aimlessly thoughts begin Winds go astray with no rudder to guide Lost and alone in a sea of pride Crowded thoughts but a lonely mind In a stormy sea there's little to find Reach out to where there is no need to hide In the midst of a loved one by your side…
So often, children want to be independent. They don’t want help. At my age, I willingly accept help. I’m not afraid to ask for help, either. Perhaps it takes maturity to appreciate and accept the offer of help. Offering help feels good. Help, as simple as holding a door open or picking up a dropped item for another…
If my body had a group chat during a run, it would be pure chaos. Legs: “We’re tired.” Brain: “We literally just started.” Lungs: “Who approved this pace?” Heart: “Guys, chill. We’re fine.” Stomach: “No, we’re not. That banana was a mistake!” By kilometer two, everyone’s arguing. Legs threaten to leave the chat. Brain…
Ontem eu falei aqui que tava na bad pq um ficante terminou comigo. Fui almoçar com uma amiga e chorei no metrô, chorei no almoço, chorei voltando pra casa, passei mal na rua, enfim o drama. Eu já aceitei que eu sou dramática. Falei com essa minha amiga que eu almocei, uma amiga que tá vivendo um amor de verão dos…
I recall seeing so many resumes for software engineering positions that had COVID tracker projects. These people want to put their skills to use and show others that they have engineering talent, but they choose the most overdone and cliché project to make. Why do we need a COVID tracking app for the millionth time?…
Covid came and Covid went (well, not really). There was isolation for a long time. Then there was not, as long as you wore masks in private spaces. Shortly after I started going out, I began having these recurrent dreams. I would dream that I entered someplace (the bus, the shopping, whatever) and suddenly notice that…
I write this at 8 AM on my birthday in one of my worst states of mind in a while. Ideally, it shouldn't have been this way. Courts have closed in Kolkata for summer holidays and I was to embark on a vacation abroad after more than two years. Only for my visa not to arrive in time. At this point, I am gutted. A while…
In a culture that often emphasizes balance and self-compassion, advice to avoid being too hard on oneself is common. Phrases like “It’s not good to be so strict!” or “You shouldn’t force yourself!” may seem well-intentioned, but I believe they reflect a misunderstanding of self-discipline and personal growth. While…
Incidents that have scarred me from Nelson: 1. ITC, telling me to not initiate conversations with guys until they talk to me first 2. Telling me that I should not disagree with him in public multiple times 3. Breaking my glasses because he was angry 4. Telling me wearing a langa voni for my sisters engagement and…
It is never a good morning to mourn.
Hello! Lets talk about inhibitions and hurdles in taming the day. As someone who has tried almost every trick to stay on track and create a routine and series of habits that help me in navigating life as I see fit. Here are my observations: 1. Diligence is key, identifying action items and getting started is simple…
A boy with dyed hair wearing a skirt and a pink backpack. Unsecured panels on the walls expose bare wires. Toilet paper stuffed into holes, trash scattered on the floor, fading upholstery. The electronic display is non-functional; only a sheet of paper with the line number scrawled in Sharpie taped to the windshield…
Has any man ever responded positively to a woman offering unsolicited astrological information?
meu amigo mudou o número de telefone e foi aí que percebi que em algum momento eu havia perdido a minha grande habilidade de decorar números de telefone. fiquei imersa na reflexão do que poderia ter sido a causa da perda da minha habilidade por cerca de cinco minutos. eu me gabava por saber de cor os números dos meus…
This is hard to admit, but I've been struggling with reading long form content. Today, I opened an article, and half way through, I put my phone down cos I just couldn't take it. I forced myself to go back and read the rest of it. It's worrying me that my attention is not mine anymore, and there's a bunch of reading I…
I don’t have a niche. Or to be more precise, I probably have several different niches depending on who I’m talking to and what I’m doing. I talk about PR and public affairs with students and clients and fellow PR people. Within these fields, am I a tech specialist? A B2B specialist? A charity specialist? I talk about…
How do my daily actions respond this question? What I have done this week: - Worked until late the past weeks. - Spent 2 hours thinking what did we miss? What questions to we need to ask. With these actions I am getting better at: - Managing a project that I will never get credit for - At getting a "good job" "good…
it was a running joke among my friends growing up that I'd come over just to be able to take a nap because that wasn't allowed at home. it wasn't all that serious, of course, but I was incredibly fortunate to have both of my parents home, all day, every day for my entire life - which meant that I wasn't often truly…
Acabei de ver um vídeo de uma senhorinha de 100 anos fazendo exercícios com a ajuda de um personal trainer. Coisa simples, levantar pesos, pegar e jogar a bola, levantar a perna com pesos no tornozelo. Coisa que muita gente com décadas a menos não consegue fazer. É isso, gente. Vamos fazer exercícios para ter…
And having that “purpose” Like I don’t go to badminton just for another purpose Actually make friends Or be good in badminton Whatever your purpose is You don’t just “go there” Like you WANTED something If nobody is there you also wanted right? That should be the spirit Remember You don’t have to be friends with…
Venture capital has funded many of today's most successful tech companies ("Big Tech"). As those companies rapidly scaled, small harms that perhaps initiated as unknown risks, ballooned. I'm not going to list them all here because I would need way more than 300 words, but here's a selective subset: - online…
Coming back to a country that never felt like home. Every time I come back to Chile at immigration, I watch as the officer speaks Spanish to the non-Asian person in front of me, then switches to English when he realizes that that person doesn’t understand Spanish. When it’s my turn, the officer immediately addresses…
Since the beginning of the web, people have been making personal websites. But when someone makes a personal website, it is forever an exhibition to the public and cannot truly be a private, authentic space. Recently, the concept of a “digital garden” has become popular. It’s like a personal website but welcomes a…
Of course it's been pointed out with increasing frequency of late, but I believe it bears repeating. This addiction to seeking out the comfort of the likeminded to the exclusivity of all others and recoiling from the sheer audacity of differently-minded people to exist cannot possibly lead to anything good in the long…
In my previous blog, I wrote about an interrupted childhood - one where I was a day away from beginning tennis classes, when my family broke apart over the course of one consequential night. A few weeks ago, I decided to experience the reality that could have altered my childhood. Life throws curveballs at us that we…
Maybe this is a lesson in never taking anything for granted. I’m not even sure why and how we’ve landed at this place, but we have. Questioning the foundation of something I never thought I’d need to question. Because this was the axiom upon which everything was built. But I guess, here we are. Time to wait and see…
First time time posting anything anywhere in years. I guess you have to learn to post rambling nothingness before you can post actual cognizant thoughts.
要怎么成大事? You need to keep a habit of doing everything small correct and nicely; Else you’ll just reward yourself for being as you should: like being on time, went to the gym, don’t keep yourself too harsh but don’t keep yourself too loose & without control and discipline. “The most free people are the ones who control…
Play the cards you are dealt with! All my life, I have constantly compared myself to others and then made a decision. It's after a long period of time that I have developed an understanding that no one will ever have the same experiences the way you do. If you wish you were Ambani's son/daughter today and presented…
The "techlash" — the widespread negative public perception of Big Tech — marches onward, gaining intensity with every new tech-related scandal. For major tech companies, the techlash has contributed to low profits, falling share prices, and fleeing users. It seems people are wising up to the negative side-effects of a…
It hit me today. The realization didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. (Like some people would say.) But it did arrive to my conscious awareness. What am I talking about? Well, the fact that people don't do that of taking time and space out of their mundane routine. Like what I can write in the following paragraphs can…
Have you thought of how bad you wanted this all to be? You went to the MRT and actually despise people who conforms Like you have to skip and wait for the next train Because the train is actually full Full of people you don’t want to be in Don’t want to mix and squeeze with them 80% of the fucking population Hated…
Perceptions give me the benefit of the doubt with an unseen cost
I really miss YouTube. I gave it up for Lent and talked about it here. But I truly do miss being on the platform, talking with subscribers, watching videos in my free time, and creating helpful content for those looking to make intentional tech purchases. Luckily, I do have a good amount of sponsored videos lined up…
a big block to my introspection/writing has been my poor wifi i just prefer to put my thoughts out there i can feel the judgment already...from older folk like byung chul han who think that this lack of privacy is in a sense a lack of "ritual" and that i have made my "temple" of thoughts into a "museum" but i do have…
made coffee at 2am again not because i needed energy just wanted to feel like the main character for five minutes
Problem-solving is a skill we begin practicing in infancy. Problems never go away. Our strategies for solving them change with age and practice. Use journaling as a strategy for dealing with frustrations, problems, and negative emotions. Even if you don't journal daily, writing your thoughts gives you an opportunity…
My earliest memory of paperwork was the annual trip to National Book Center to buy brown paper which I would use to cover our text and note books. Then the beautiful letters that my Grandparents would write from New Delhi or the ones that my Masi would write from Boston. Also, the special note pad that my Father had…
Recently, I've noticed an uptick in conversations around 'content.' Too many creators want to decide what should be called content and what shouldn't. Most comparisons stem from a sense of self-superiority on "the process" one has, before one publishes or creates. The complaint is usually one or the other variations…
Today, while I was stuck in a traffic jam, I saw a car throw something out the window. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got closer, I realized it was trash—a can of beer. My mind started to explode with questions and thoughts: Why didn’t that person save the trash until they got home to throw it away? Why…
Hello Folks, Today I write about the story of football and its significance in our history & the impact the sport has had around the world. As I Write this, one of the greatest players to ever walk on the field is probably playing his-LAST DANCE match. (More on that!) Football is probably the most democratic sport, it…
No better feeling than new tools day. Find a spot for it to live, maybe do the job you bought it for, then put it away to rest, making sure not to disturb it too much. No. Use your tools. Tools are mean to be used. If you don't use them, you deprive them of their purpose in life. Use your iPhone, get it sandy. Use…
In the debate over freedom of expression with regard to blasphemy, I find it absurd when the argument is made, usually in response to some Muslim fanatic going on a murder rampage, that "well Christians try to censor expression too." I just don't think there exists a reasonable argument to be made that there is any…
