Reminder:
You take things one day at a time.
You inhale the good and exhale the bad.
This feeling is only temporary.
You have survived your anxiety before and you will survive it again now.
You trust yourself.
You are safe and in control.
I'm proud of you
Yo really??
YouTube Comment: @charlierosesmith3807 10 days ago As a gen Z American, here's my two cents on the take that our generation can't handle delayed gratification: we've watched the promise of "delayed gratification" fail Gen X and Millennials repeatedly in real time because we've had access to the internet since childhood. In elementary and middle school, I watched in real time on TV and online as Gen X had their entire life savings wiped out by the 2008-2009 depression, and as a teenager and college kid I've seen Millennials get absolutely shafted by jobs and degrees that went in promising them stable lives and then repeatedly ripped the rug out from under them, leaving millennials with no solid career progression or economic betterment to show after over a decade of consistent effort. Even outside of the internet, I've watched my grandfather, who was a computer programmer at IBM in the 60s, have his pension retroactively canceled after being a pensioner for decades, and I've watched this man in his 80s who's had two heart attacks have to go back to work 4 days of the week as an Uber driver to make ends meet, after he spent three decades of his life in a high paid office job that promised him healthcare and pension and the entire American dream. I don't have it in me to put up with the same shit. Maybe it's bratty and short sighted, but I've watched enough people older than me have enough of their decades of life ripped from them with the false promises of later rewards, so to my mind saying "this will pay off for you in the future" means you're not actually planning on paying out, you're hoping you can take advantage of my patience and goodwill. Pay me my rewards now, or I'll assume you'll never intend to actually reward me.
Makes all sorts of sense, really.
Man if it was real, imagine the look of surprise on their faces as they're all dumped into the soul mulcher
Hell yeah you are

TRUE LOVE IS POSSIBLE ONLY IN THE NEXT WORLD -- FOR NEW PEOPLE. IT IS TOO LATE FOR US.
using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.
I need all artists to know that using 3D models in your art is not cheating. Those free-to-use 3D models are literally there to make your life easier. Stop being so hard on yourself and just trace that 3D object. You don't need to be able to perfectly draw every object ever from memory!!
Please read books on your own. Learn on your own. Do not let them steal your cognition from you!

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

SAME I was in a tank top on my walk yesterday and this morning I woke up to flurries
We cannot stop mass deportations without seriously reckoning with the American obsession with arrests and prosecutions.
Morning.
I take my toddler on the NYC subway all the time. He loves riding the train and looking out the window.
DIGITAL EXORCISMS
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?
The world is gross enough without "take away people's ability to think so we can sell it back to them" being on the list.

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?
The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️🔥
they should invent a "being an author" that "pays a living wage"
I don't think it's good that the president is threatening the Iranian men's national soccer team with violence, tbh.
Ai is neither intelligent nor artificial.
Behind it is a mount of human labor. Stolen, underpaid, exploited human labor
I know logically that it's because T changed my hair texture to have a deeper wave/loose curl, making me look more like my dad's side of the family, so I've associated my physical transition with my hair. But it's so wild how yesterday having straight hair had me in such a funk and today I'm happy
It's so funny what triggers my dysphoria most these days, like what do you mean missing a wash day so my hair goes straight and limp makes me so deeply uncomfortable with my whole being lmfao
I am fascinated by anyone who still has cable TV
