Like Whatever

Hey if you have chronic pain, you gotta remember that the cognitive load of dealing with that is exhausting. Just that alone. Never mind what else you've got going on.

In programming, an interrupt is an event that takes precedence over everything else that happens. For example, you are sitting at the library computer working in Microsoft Word and suddenly the operating system interrupts with a message that the library is closing in 10 minutes and the computer will automatically shut down at that time. That interrupt is going to keep showing up until the library closes and you can’t do anything to stop it, even if you’re typing between interruptions.

here's a secret: whatever you're doing, you have to root for your peers with all your heart because it forces you to root for yourself too. I've seen people in various spheres of my life (workplaces, education, art, activism) fall into the trap of envy and resentment when they see others succeed while they struggle, and it always always goes hand in hand with them pulling back and giving up and stagnating.
