Ham of the Night Sky

Hey @sealight.xyz

Do you have the lexicon doc for the annotations type posted anywhere I could stare at it a bit?

With a ketchup bottle, one will squeeze out as much sauce as their heart desires or more.

With ketchup packets, one will squeeze out just as many as they have the patience to and ratchet down their dipping to fit.

I bet this is a metaphor for something

naturally now is when it finishes lol

I remembered I can at least watch the lesson video through the Canvas app on my phone.

i plotted out a schedule for tackling 2 of 3 big projects in my most worrisome class. praise me 🥺

I am doing such an excellent job at predicting how long tasks will take that it has become *relevant* whether I skive off from schedule. Oh what a problem to have!

there is no escape. we all React somewhere :V

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown points to freudenfreude (taking joy in in other people's joys) as an important social emotion. She said the lack of it will kill relationships. Taking this perspective, I clearly need a lot more mutual celebration in my life

So I wrote this thread idea up and posted it!

They say 'the reward for doing good work is more work', and 'there are no prizes for meeting basic requirements'. That's not very motivating. Let's change the incentives.

Post a recent thing you did which you could use just that little bit of encouragement or appreciation for! #MundaneWins

the local news yesterday very earnestly explained how photos taken with your cellphone may contain information you didn't intend to share with the world

I know objectively this is a very good service they're providing to their audience but I died a little bit inside

i remember pondering

being annoyed by the common stance

"doing hard things people want to get resources you need to live on is 100% valid, UNLESS the thing is sex which is completely different for some reason such that any amount of non-intrinsic motivation in the decision to do it is deeply sus"

and overcorrecting?

SELLOUT! TRAITOR! SHILL!

(like, in all fairness me too)

BUT BE BETTER THAN ME! RESIST THE DARK SIDE!

Ok now I HAVE to read it

I'll be too busy processing the fact that it is possible to purchase a tiny house on Amazon

Ah yeh that's hard.

Helps me to keep in perspective that Guilt (judging that we acted against our values) can be a driver of positive change, but humiliation (feeling unjustly degraded, ridiculed, or put down) & shame (feeling unworthy of care and belonging) mostly make people more dangerous.

NO applause, but I will pour them a drink. I think they'll need it.

Empirically, it appears not.

you're an inspiration to us all

a peer-to-peer system is what we need. ShameTorrent
