Feeling entirely spent after two days of conferencing. How to recover? Reading about why I feel this way of course

Friend camp has a book club!?

Home office bonus: I can eat sardines right before a meeting and @Danielle doesn't have to smell them. 🐟​

Turns out a lot of what's in my mind is pretty silly. Maybe I shouldn't write these things down.

One day, I'm gonna look at my kitchen mess, close my eyes, say "mess be gone", and it's gonna work. 0% successful so far but one day ...

The watched clock never toils

Fascinating talk from @OCCRP about journalism and censorship at Mozfest. Time to learn more about their work!

Been reading the Age of Anger, after finding the authors article on modern masculinity extremely on point https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/mar/17/the-crisis-in-modern-masculinity. So far a very interesting history of anger and hierarchy.

"the German thinker Max Stirner argued ... that the impersonal rationality of power and government had disguised itself in the emollient language of freedom and equality, and the individual, ostensible liberated from traditional bods, had been freshly enslaved by the modern state."

Start off my toots with a few quotes I think about a lot =)

True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the way we engage with social media is like fire—you can use them to keep yourself warm and nourished, or you can burn down the barn. It all depends on your intentions, expectations, and reality-checking skills.

- Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown

"Each person has a set of beliefs with which they move through the world. These are formed by their cultural, social, economic, and environmental (amongst others) experiences from birth, and they change as more experiences are added to the whole. A group joins their beliefs together creating a set of named or unnamed ways in which they operate."
