Words; They Mouth

These heat waves that many of us are facing should stand as a reminder that the real big boss--worse than Trump or technocrats or any of the other immediate and terrible things happening to us--is climate change. We may very well have to defeat some of those things first. But we HAVE to, because we HAVE to address climate change with everything in our tool box.

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.

we all have that friend that reminds us of a wretched and despotic boy-king

the other thing about Internet dogpiling is that it is just not possible to think clearly during the acute stages. it’s so easy to criticize people for responding defensively or tactlessly to mass criticism but I cannot overstate the degree to which your brain becomes a rat in a trap. I think we do have to temporarily recalibrate our expectations in these circumstances and accept that they do not necessarily represent how that person responds to criticism. the skills for self-regulating and reacting to normal interpersonal criticism are not the same skills needed to respond to viral callouts.

How goated it is to be anything at all
