listen as somebody who has a lot of really good ideas

ideas are fundamentally worthless. sorry. we give WAY too much credence to people who have them. yeah, even good ones, dude. the only thing I respect is execution. whether it's in myself or somebody else. an idea executed is worth something

美容沼、50代ではまったら…　中年男性の「自立幻想」に気がついた：朝日新聞 夜、ふと視線を向けた電車の窓ガラスに、死んだ父親が映っていた。ぎょっとして見つめたら、がさついた肌の自分だった――。東京都在住の会社員でライターの伊藤聡さん（53）は、そんな経験から4年前、スキンケ…

良記事！

"自分のケアすらおろそかなのに、周囲のケアなどできるわけがありません。そうした人は、職場で急に体調不良を訴える人や、急な欠席に不寛容で、結果、周囲に無理をさせます。そんな職場、誰が働きたいですか？　実際、淘汰（とうた）され始めていますよね。"

"スキンケアを始めると、鏡をよく見るようになるんです。自分が自分に見られることが増えたことで、「見られる」ことに意識が向くようになったのです。そこから、自分がいかに見る側にいたのか、一方的に品評する側にいたのかと気づけたのです。下品だったと反省しました。"

This Netflix OceanGate doc is infuriating beyond words simply because it's such a perfect encapsulation of how the arrogance and hubris and sheer STUPIDITY of wealthy tech entrepreneurs destroy everything they touch and drag the rest of us down with them.

経済というのは人の営みのことなんだから、「人権はダメだけど経済には強い」政権なんてあるわけがないだろう

We're at the "we cannot build bananas in America" stage of our societal collapse. God help us.

A québécois comic book titled "La Flopée" by the publisher Nique à feu

I only had 5 minutes but successfully got my first bédé from this year's Festival de la Bande Dessinée de Montréal 😌 This one is a collection of stories by 15 artists from Quebec city. Je me rends compte que je n'ai pas souvent lu de BD sur la ville de Québec, j'adore❤️ @niqueafeu.ca

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

フォロー出来た！！！

そっかー…なんかinsta/FBを使いたくなくて、でもとなると写真投稿の場がほぼないから悩んでる。かおりさん追加していい？！

A few profile pages of mine -
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/akane-dor...
Flickr: flickr.com/photos/20282...
Instagram: www.instagram.com/akane_doracr...

@amidwinternd.bsky.social Flickr使ってたよね？結局かおりさんと言う通りFlickr が一番使いやすいかも…

Ok, I'm rerouting all my future photos to Flickr and uploading the ones from 2025 to today. Anyone here on Flickr?? 😃😃

I did not imagine Marvel would one day release a MCU movie only about mental illness, addiction and other self destructive behaviors, with childhood trauma as the last boss to beat, but here we are (I really enjoyed Thunderbolt*)

Anyway, thank you for reading my stream of consciousness lol

Also I'm thinking of moving to Flickr for photo sharing, so I can navigate sharing both publicly as my hobby and privately for the family. Bluesky/pinksky doesn't quite do it 🫤

Multiple sicknesses in the family, including pneumonia for myself & respiratory issues that I'm still battling; and some situations that caused me to really question my competencies in various places. I was not in a good place for a while lol

I'm in Ottawa right now for the long weekend, and I finally have the mental space to look through 1.5 month's worth of photos I haven't edited yet. I never let more than 1-2 weeks go by before editing & organizing photos; I think I can finally admit that the past month has been quite rough for me

ありがとうございます…🥲🥲

I hope everyone is resting and doing better, whatever the cause is! 🥲

Daughter is sick again, as it happens with toddlers, and between her and I being sick so often this year I've cancelled at least 10 events or outings I was really looking forward to 🥲🥲 泣きそう

God exactly. The purpose of writing papers is FOR YOU TO THINK SOMETHING THROUGH, not because a prof has a deficit in their life that needs to be filled by reading 5-7 pages of mediocre bullshit. The bulk of things I recall from undergrad are things I wrote papers about.

My little Ticha sat on my lap for the first time!!! 🥹❤️ It's been almost exactly one year since we've adopted this girl from a shelter at Beloeil.

This is amazing! ❤️ I couldn't have access to proper dental care for years because I couldn't have access to group health insurance. Dental care should not be conditional, it's basic health care!
