Twitter 是：一條時間軸，一個段落的最小單位，一個間接的利益輸送管道，暴政的起點，抗議暴政的火苗，一首 90 年代的人類詩，一個群魔亂舞的廣場，一個知識的起點，一個讓人發笑的地方，一個奈米的創作地，一個濃縮時間的膠囊，一座巴別塔，一條又髒又臭，但能把所有人載往目的地的地鐵，在夜店外的垃圾堆，一片播放著白噪音的牆。 儘管如此，我愛 Twitter。

Twitter 是：一條時間軸，一個段落的最小單位，一個間接的利益輸送管道，暴政的起點，抗議暴政的火苗，一首 90 年代的人類詩，一個群魔亂舞的廣場，一個知識的起點，一個讓人發笑的地方，一個奈米的創作地，一個濃縮時間的膠囊，一座巴別塔，一條又髒又臭，但能把所有人載往目的地的地鐵，在夜店外的垃圾堆，一片播放著白噪音的牆。 儘管如此，我愛 Twitter。
Few things offend me more than ignorance masquerading as knowledge. “In our polarised world, a productive disagreement is a rare occurrence. People would rather talk to a stranger who shares their political views than a friend who doesn’t. That’s a travesty.” When you preach, you’re trying to convert people to your…
Blogs on what I learn or what appeals to me. Read on a topic over a single day and then write, unassisted (except for quotes), at the end of the day. The goal is to develop concise and coherent communication skills. Feel free to drop a text if you have something more to offer on a topic. Let's see where we get with…
My son eyes aren't teaming properly. They create blurry images. To compensate his brain shuts off his weak eye and overloads his dominant eye. This knock-on effects are reading fatigue, inability to stay focused, etc. We may have scratched this up to ADHD and sought medication. Thankfully, my wife kept pulling the…
i guess i suppose i can’t say for sure but then again maybe can neither confirm nor deny that you’re in my mind all the time maybe I’ll win maybe I’ll loose maybe it’ll just blow the fuse and we’ll sit there in the dark pitch black wondering how to make it out of this mess
As my father and mother waved goodbye to me from a train that moved away from me, I felt like a man whose blanket was taken away on a cold night. As I step into my early 30s, the feeling of missing somebody whom you're used to being around is getting stronger. The mind yearns to be back in places that are familiar. I…
What will forever haunt me about the Tyre Nichols murder is that he was calling for his mother during the last moments he was beaten to death. For all intents and purposes he died scared and alone, with no one to hold is hand and tell him he is loved. I know exactly what it's like to be alone, in the dark, scared, and…
Je me demande comment tout est connecté. La façon dont on se souvient du passé, la façon dont on imagine celui de demain. Comment les échelles interagissent entre elles, de l'individu au groupe à l'état. Au niveau temporel aussi, comment l'histoire influence nos actions, comment celles ci peuvent ensuite influencer le…
I saw a tweet by Democratic congressman Ritchie Torres accusing dissident journalist Glenn Greenwald of being a "useful idiot" for believing the fake backstory of recently elected Republican congressman George Santos. I know who the first two people are, and I've never heard of the third. I Google his name and the…
One of my guiding principles for inner work is “let everything be”. If you feel angry, let yourself feel angry. If you feel sad, let yourself feel sad. If you feel bored, let yourself feel bored. It’s the resistance to these feelings that causes problems. Or in buddhist terminology, this resistance is tanha: a wish…
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…
This 100-day project does not take weekends off. But I'm staying true to my overall writing philosophy: write something every day. In my mother's immortal words, "Keep Saturday Saturday: start late and go slow." I started very late, 2pm, and the 15 minute goal to write anything project-related became 30 and 45 and…
It sometimes baffles me just how much a walk or hike in nature can boost my mental capacities. Being at home or work surrounded by books, notes and brilliant people just never get the cogs turning like the sound of birds chirping, water flowing and life happening at it's own pace. So, there I was in my local forest…
Hateful admiration. Painful pleasure. Relaxing chaos. One of the things I want out of life is to experience the full range of emotions. Listening to music takes me close. Happiness, sadness, anger, affection, hate, angst are some of the few I've identified that I've felt, but as humans we are capable of so much more…
Hello. I have missed the last 2 days of blogging. Sorry. I have been having immense anxiety for the past 2 days. And I think I am in a state where nobody and nothing seems to be helping. The biggest reason for this is because my sense of self worth is tied to my sense of productivity. And I feel like I am productive…
Priya, my wife, has turned 41 today, and I wanted to take a moment to pen down what she means to me and record my gratitude to her presence in my life. Soulmate is defined as a mate with whom you share your soul. Acknowledging how much she feeds my soul, she fits the moniker of a soulmate technically, rather than just…
What generation are you a part of? Did you know that there is a a micro-generation called 'The Oregon Trail Generation'. If it wasn't confusing enough just sorting through the Gen X and Millennials delineations. This is a great time to reflect upon though if you are aware of what the Oregon Trail was.. The game not…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
Almost feels like people reveal themselves only on the internet anonymously nowadays. It makes me wonder whether she is reacting like this because she wants to continue the conversation or she is being genuine. Everyone has a mask irl. Idk anymore.
I am feeling very overwhelmed by my work. It seems like a never ending pit of tasks to do. No matter what i do to figure it out, it is still pending. More and more and more. I cannot seem to reach any conclusion. Perhaps this is because it is such menial, manual work. Perhaps because it is the extent of…
Curiosity Motivates. And when it’s satiated, the motivation dissipates. Motivation is a minor fuel injection — it simply helps course correct. It’s what the coach uses in the locker room to bolster the team for the second half. It's the climax for the movies. It's cinematic. But it doesn’t sustain. Follow through is…
I didn’t want anyone to know of my new habit when I first started. What would they think? If my new habit turned out to be a waste of time, I would look silly. They didn't journal, so they wouldn’t understand. I thought that when I started journaling gratitude. I worried about the reaction of others. I soon discovered…
Things I did wrong in the relationship: 1. I did not walk away 2. I was not truthful about what I was feeling to myself (though I feel like my feelings were criminalised, I do think I need to take responsibility for this) 3. Self regulating my actions despite him begging me multiple times not to - I almost felt like…
You’ve heard you should journal first thing in the morning. Get up early to spend some time with gratitude and bring clarity to the day to come. You’ve heard you should journal at night. Don’t go to bed without reflecting on your day and settling your mind. I advised both of those. You must journal both in the morning…
Timoteo Rhousdy adalah sebuah karakter fiksi yang lahir dari imajinasi penulis dengan panggilan BAST. Seluruh kisahnya dibangun dari khayalan dan kreativitas semata, oleh sebab itu, nama, lokasi, dan peristiwa yang berkisar di sekelilingnya sepenuhnya merupakan ciptaan penulis untuk tujuan bermain peran (role-play).…
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…
We're taught to practice with only one colour. We're taught to choose only one niche to excel in life. Jack of all trades is master of none, right!? But, did you know the original version of this quote has another line? It says, "Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." It…
There’s a quick way to find your talent short cut. Do the actual hard work not the societal pressure (means thinking hard and giving high standards to yourself) Once you got there you’ll have so many things you can do - and you have that “do it now mentality” same as “enjoy it now not later” Do more and reap the…
Now that you have read the part 1 of it, let us get started with the steps - Step 1 - Chop a large onion (or 2 small ones) into really fine slices. Add 4-5 tablespoons (a little more if you want added oiliness. No harm there.) of oil in a large vessel which is a cooker, needed to prepare the curry-like thing that's…
i feel energetically a little STUCK do i: - do more yoga - get the package - read - write - eat - watch youtube (this seems almost certainly like a bad idea bc i am so annoyed with booktube people but i am curious about just one little video...) ? i'm hungry. fuck. my body has decided. i guess i'll eat leftover…
Maturity is you know how to 守 not just 攻. You don’t need to keep replying the guys who have bad intention to you. Don’t make yourself the victim And just do you Be interesting
every day you must take time a short time to eat a cookie there will be a time that a cookie will be the last cookie you'll ever eat so if you eat a cookie every day you're fighting the chances that the cookie you last ate was the ultimate last cookie of your life don't waste time on bad cookies
We waste too much time waiting. We wait for the clock to strike the perfect 9 AM, 10 AM, 2.30 PM, or 11 PM to resume work after a break. We'll scroll through a few more reels if there are 3 minutes to 5.30 PM. I used to do that while studying. I would arbitrarily take a break and then resume at half past something.…
Eu vi Erycah Badu. Cara, que intensa. Ela é o tipo de pessoa que se fizesse uma seita, eu seria a primeira a entrar. Bruxona, catártica, muito além da mente. Ganhei o show de graça numa promoção do Instagram e não tava botando fé, mas rolou de verdade. Cheguei e falaram que meu nome não estava na lista, mostrei…
It's one of those experiences that tell people how 'further' and 'farther' they are from the ones around them every day. You see laborers, officegoers, businessmen, students, people from different parts of the country, from different countries, and more. Today, I sat beside a laborer, and my financial woes suddenly…
Every single human society that has ever existed, past or present, has had to contend with the question of how to control the generative impulse. Variously identified as the will to power, yetzer hara (יצר הרע), or "toxic masculinity," it is almost always referred to in terms that are more male than female, and…
(The following is a RP entry from the perspective of my Project Zomboid character, again) I'm a bit scared right now to be honest. Today I was doing the usual looting and found a police station; Jackpot! I thought... and indeed I won the lottery of guns, after clearing 2 floors of zombies I got to the lockers and…
It is important to intervene when you get into a negative self-talk rabbit hole. It happened to me today: "It's 5 pm! No haven't been 'productive'" "What are you doing? The client is billing you!" In these times, you need to ask the sergeant to relax. I call this alter-ego, the Sergeant. Intervene in the following…
You want a journaling habit, but journaling requires thinking. Thinking is hard work. You are wrong if you think creating a journaling habit requires deep thinking. Don't overthink what you write when you journal. You journal for yourself. No one else will read what you write. Journaling is getting your thoughts on…
Louis Pereira, Nicheless founder, wrote recently that we shouldn't over-congratulate ourselves on our choices because they are shaped by the people we happen to spend time with. I agree, but the influence of chance on our choices goes well beyond the company we keep. I was idling in London after graduating from law…
Everyone loves trees. Planting a tree is universally positive and wholesome. It invokes an image of care and nurture. Hands full of dirt, investing in the promise of a green, fruitful future. Add to this picture, a 2019 study published in Nature claiming that planting a trillion trees could capture a third of the…
Today, I met up with people from my CDTM class, an add-on study program in Munich. These are people I met just a year ago, and catching up with them, it's crazy to see how they’re all doing big things. In this circle, it seems almost normal - but it’s not. I believe a big part of this is being part of the CDTM program…
Por um bom tempo na minha vida, tive dificuldade de colocar o pé para fora da zona de conforto. Mudanças eram assustadoras e eu gostava de permanecer aonde estivesse. Afinal, ali já estava, por quê sair? Ainda bem que o tempo passa, e que a vida sempre me forçou a sair dessa zona confortável. Ela sempre pôs pessoas no…
To refer to a phenomenon or quantity as being deficient implies that there is some proper amount one might expect to have. A gas tank that is three-quarters empty, for example, would rightly be considered deficient if our destination were two hundred miles away; a "gasoline deficit," as it were. It would be just as…
The paradox of life is, It gives,the lightness of joy and the burden of pain; and takes,so we may learn the worth of what was given. Every gift of joy or burden of sorrow, arrives with the promise of its leaving. And though we may celebrate or grieve its passing, It was never meant to be kept....only experienced. Time…
We all want, so badly, to be loved unconditionally but we struggle to live with the ambivalence of adult love. Adult love starts off wild and intense; strong and stubborn like a mule. But with time, it weakens; eroded by the little things. It falters in the face of unmet expectations, flounders as our outcomes…
These areas may be stand-alone, aligned, interplay, or coalesced with others and represent how I show up in the world. What I choose to do (and not do) is rooted in how I identify the external world in context of my values and strengths. --- R|CAT (Resource Catalysts) aka FLYWHEEL role: CONSULTANT ... business owner…
My day feels more like wake up, exist, sleep and wake up again! During the day, looking at emails as I wake up, commuting to and back work, working and handling calls till I sleep off, limited socialization with family and friends, zero leisure activity other than TV. Even on weekends, I think the familiarity of the…
