bullying yourself isn't penance, it's just annoying (to outsiders as well, by the way!)

If you embrace it, if you realise that in your hands you hold a great responsibility for your community and to actually right what's wrong with it and strengthen what's good and that, most of all, this is possible, you will be much more useful than the endless whiner or the endless penitent.

There is no definition of "nation" that makes sense other than "the collective of people that form it." So you are part of it. You can no more distance yourself from it than a cell can distance itself from an organism. You are responsible for its crimes, you are part of its achievements.

I learned this stuff myself, from my own experience, because believe it or not, you are not the only nation ever to feel a lot of painful and complex feelings about your legitimacy in the world. So take it as almost the only thing I, a 29-year-old, can actually offer in the manner of a wizened elder

There is no need to either self-flagellate or take offence on its behalf. If someone is appalled at it and you care about their opinion, work to make it better. Do not waste time making yourself the centre of the universe because, well, you literally can't.

Your value goes far beyond what you contribute to GDP. And when you die, your friends and fam won't think of the financial benefit to the govt from that extra year you spent working, they'll only think of the time they spent (or didn't) with you and what you chose to do with the time you had.

Dear CEOs, You don't HAVE to do interviews. Just, like, idk, maybe don't. Or, I mean, keep on digging if you really want to I guess.

I also have a comic in here! I got real experimental with it, so I hope you enjoy if you decide to check it out!

this is beautiful in so so many ways.

The only relevant thing I can say as a resident of Europe is simply that such continuing conflicts are a rather obvious reason why those handful of countries that have declared Syria to be safe now and stopped asylum processing for it are complicit in an act of moral evil.

Я честно не думали, что Силксонг так затянет. Ещё меньше ожидали того, что у меня в этой игре что-то получится. Бью себя по рукам не возвращаться в Dead Cells, т.к. там будет хуже😭

I was showing @reynardlang.bsky.social Interstella 5555 because it had *a hold* on me in my childhood after I saw One More Time MV, and the way it also works as an AI shade now in addition to the music label shade back then... youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ

Just because big tech invests billions in a thing does not make said thing an inevitable future.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

This is exactly what happens when the film industry continues to promote Russian culture: In an interview with American actor Connor Storrie, who plays Russian character Ilya Rozanov in the TV series Heated Rivalry, Seth Meyers called Odessa,Texas "as far as names go the most Russian part of Texas".

Mobei Jun, your tastes are... questionable. Loosely based on a true story. #svsss #moshang

I was thinking about something related to this tonight. I'm glad that my quasi-fame peaked ~15 years ago but I still have two fame related goals: * I want to win a BAFTA. Not necessarily for writing or out or pride; it's just my favorite award shape. * I want to be invited to the Criterion Closet.

“Jemis killed the dragon!” Sela cried proudly. “Just like in a story. Except that you didn’t have a sword or a lance or anything proper.” “I’ll try to remember for next time.”
