You don't have super powers, you're not having a "spiritual crisis," you have ADHD and you're losing your shit. See a doctor. Medicine is good.
That's it. That would basically rewrite the last 18 years of my life (not that it's been bad, but I lost out on doing cool stuff in my 20s to figuring out I had, and how to deal with, my mental illness)
Caught it jumping around earlier when a post had scrollable embedded media in it. As you bring the scrolling frame into view, the moment the top of the frame aligns with the top of the viewport, the whole feed jumps down. Not sure what it's jumping too, looked like the bottom of the scrollable area was jumping down to the bottom of the viewport. Very jarring, in any case.
Not enough people consider the origin of these words, trying to use them divorced from the thing that actually makes it a pejorative. Growing up, "gay" was another one people tried to use as an insult "non-homophobically"
It's absolutely a thing. It was a game changer for me when I gave up fighting it and just accepted that "whelp, my brain's just gonna brain today." If you can, just try to give yourself what you need and slow down. It is what it is.
I also find something satisfying about doing a big methodical cleanup after I feel better from a slump, your milage may vary.
I kind of lose the comparison to the same psychological manhole you get from pure numbers. I wonder if the effect would have been improved by starting with some arbitrarily sized pile of rice for bezos money and then trying to divide it downwards (to where you're scraping the side of a single grain with an exacto for some dust, or looking through a microscope)
Not too long ago I did a deep dive for non white male authors (as much as I love Asimov and Iain Banks) and it was really rewarding. Ann leckie, Kameron Hurley, Becky Chambers, Nnedi Okorafor, Lindsay Buroker, to name some, are all good for a spaceship. Strongly suggest NK Jemesin's Broken Earth, which isn't spaceships, but still great. It's been a bit, but I remember enjoying Samuel Delaney's Nova, as well.
Maybe they just don't have the actual numbers you'd expect from their outsized presence in the discourse, when they're not being protected, or facilitated, or actively promoted by engagement algorithms or the individuals who own the other platforms.
(I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I'm too lazy to get sources just this minute)
I used this for a bit as data collection to help me and my therapist to track my depression. There are a bunch of free CBT apps out there for they kind of thing too.
Funniest for me is Starship Mine, for several reasons.
