There's nothing thrilling about contrarianism.
It's the most toddler shit possible.

Anyone who's had their right to fully exist debated by some sweaty white dude who's just discovered Schopenhauer will surely feel this in their bones, but nice to have @marawilson.bsky.social articulate it so succinctly

There are no "devil's advocates." Just devils and dickheads

Quick mental health tip. Pick a hobby and do it slowly. Learning backyard astronomy has been so rewarding because I'm doing it mostly analogue. No yt tutorials on how to find stars, but reading paper books. Slows you down and forces focus (unlike a tutorial vid which can be passively absorbed)

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

One of the things I've come to learn over the years is that not everything needs to grow up with you. I used to be mad that dragonlance stayed middle school chaste and that this or that game was always tame even though I was getting older. It was and is entirely ego driven. You are not the center.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I've started in on the Krakoa Era in Marvel Unlimited. It feels like archeology, feels like time travel.

I have seen and felt the grief in modern X-titles, in characters I love, and now I go to the past to break my own heart knowing where it ends.

Still looking for my next role - if you know anyone who needs an award winning game designer, narrative designer, or content designer with technical skills and people managing experience who has been at it for 15 years and has made stuff that is taught in schools, hit me up at zoe@unburntwitch.com

Two simultaneous truths:

1. No matter how badly someone hurt you, once you part ways you don’t get to decide if they grow and become better. It’s their life and their choice.

2. You are never under any obligation to give them access to you, no matter how much they do that.

Usually when I get stressed out or overwhelmed, my body craves spicy food and Korean horror movies to breakthrough and feel something, but recently, the crave has been creative.

I just finished Subnautica: Below Zero. Played the whole thing. Scariest fucking game I have ever experienced.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
