i used to be so anxious and shy i could hardly say a word to my best friends from childhood. you embarrass yourself over and over till it starts to get a little easier. now i can talk to a group of people i dont know well with only a little anxiety

i like to read philosophy. buddhist, islamic, hindu, european. doesnt matter. you can find stories of people going through the worst shit imaginable and finding peace. gives me hope

i dont think ill ever be in the mindset to get massively ripped off by a shitty company in buttfuck nowhere florida. no hate to people who enjoy it but it used to be a more reasonably priced endeavor. now the prices are worse and the lines longer than ever. with that kind of money id rather take a week in a cabin or nyc or something

most creators have patreons or sell merch. youtube doesn't get a cut from that so you can support more directly!

id thrift more wood pieces but i dont have the tools/space to fix it up. also i move a lot and that stuff is HEAVY

braiding sweetgrass by robin kimmerer. i tear up every chapter I read. truly ties together nature and humanity in a beautiful way

there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)

my favorite switches all the time. currently obsessed w chamomile, thai assam, hojicha (roasted green), and also earl gray! tho we make london fogs w lavendar mostly

you clearly dont live in the usa our food is poison

some counties also have "no wrong number" programs, so if you can get a call to, say, the health department, they can redirect you to better services

i wouldnt hesitate to reach out to family down south as they may be most able to legally help you. i would not call the cops, they are useless. hunt for shelter and other hotlines, ideally chats if the walls are thin!

tbh ive seen incredible speeches by nonnative speakers because you can feel their passion and effort. the worst presentations at work you can just feel the laziness. i get lazy too, dont get me wrong, but they drag out SO LONG. just spit it out so i can take my desk nap 😭

actually huge pet peeve when people write out erm at all. also poor public speaking really bothers me. slow, with "um"s and "so like"s, monotone. really, really makes a work meeting drag by

magic beans

yes

Have you seen what the French do when politicians suggest something they dont like?

talking to people. friends, strangers, idc. people seem too stiff these days and i think it keeps people lonely.
