  • There’s a lot of doomsaying people on this platform. “Boomers reaped all the resources, so now I can’t buy a house and won’t ever get a pension” or “capitalism is fueling climate change, so now we’re all gonna die”. I’m not saying they’re not valid complaints, but It’s very unhelpful to complain about these things that you cannot change unless you do something about it. I respect climate activists who march the streets and get arrested every week or even gen z’ers who think of all kinds of alternative living arrangements like boats or coops , but these doomsayers aren’t making any effort to change any thing, just complain and cry.





  • Having a job is fine. Having something that gives you purpose is actually healthy for you. But I guess it depends what you do and you need to work for someone nice. It is the mandatory part and the “squeezing every penny out of you” part that sucks most.

    Also, switching jobs when it gets tedious might be a good plan. Make sure to stick around for a couple years though, or else they’ll see on your CV that you won’t stick around long enough to be worth the effort.





  • I have a new phone since a week or two. I really miss my previous autocorrect. It was perfectly honed to my liking. Now it’s just generic bullshit that completely misses the point of my artistic freedom. However, I’m full on re-educating that mf right now. It is on the recieving end of my wrath. Christian gay conversion camp therapists could learn a thing or two from my resolve.

    That is true, but tooth get worse when you grow older. So to die younger means you’ll leave a nicer skull for archaeologists to find. The number 35 was arbitrarily chosen, but I now think your fact was slumbering in my mind when I chose that number.



  • I like making stuff. The point is that you do something where you can see something grow over time into something more than just the sum of your effort. It can be anything.

    I own a house, so most stuff I make are extensions or improvements on the house. Last year I build a chicken coupe. This year I remodelled the unused hallway.

    If you don’t own a house you could try volunteering somewhere. I recently started volunteer work with the theatre group my daughter is a member of.

    Or maybe gardening, rent a plot at a community garden.

    Even working out at the gym can have the same effect.
