“on being your own guest” would be a good post

but who will watch everyone’s stories and take them seriously and make sure they are reaching enough people and getting enough money to keep going? who could be that father, rather than remain the child with beautiful unnecessary finger-painting from the crib?

Facebook and Judaism have a relationship

Incoming call:
Maybe: lack of a job
separate grief and ambition (iceberg, sea)
let it be separate — “grief is not a good look”

ambition-grief fit < —

product-market

i love the movability of those words, boxes; spiritual, existential mathematics can be done; product is ambition minus grief, for example; market is where grief meets ambition

complacency a drag on ambition; hunger, on the other hand, is a multiplier — — yeah, sexual power integrated as proud on-chain activity; yet we must have spaces to escape to after

i would like “unchained activity” instead
well yeah: the chain absorbs all off-chain
an absorbed (evolved) slavery
you and ……. tracking everything; no one wants everything to be tracked
it’s why Stories and Snapchat took off: people want things to expire
plus, things expire on their own, like food

a bomb-kale salad in the fridge that’s gonna go bad, GO TO THE HOUSE, EAT THIS KALE SALAD, it’s worth it
& was pretty good, not pretty fucking good, it satisfied the need for
greens and fiber I had a lack of

eating greens is in so many ways an act of patience

being alone at the center of the movie nobody cares about: a home for two, for half an hour, a harsh bite of reality

anything can be solved by enduring intellectual discomfort, just keep staring at it longer without acting; have more emotions without reacting to them; listen harder, further, toward the zero point and horizon; be and embody the collapse; be what people should be

the air is thin, and when the air is thin it bites — no one did anything proactively to your skin, it’s just the environment ~

you’re not just the only one watching your movie

how people are attached to their money
money is very sticky

sticky and loaded with baggage, with all kinds of stories

how to insulate myself against them maybe not being there

the strength i’ve built: ready to be abandoned and betrayed at all times

tired of being the student and the master at the same time?

a therapist with many clients but no friends needs a therapist themselves
we have commoditized every need, every want; what we actually need is a farm
just get a bunch of land and start taking care of it. forget the rest

translate oneself to the words of marketing, and the words of marketing are fancied storytelling (ARID, ACRID), but i really like the words of storytelling (iridescent, idyllic, interpersonal, intertwine, twice, blessed)

in order to be in an interview with the Harvard MBAs of the world, all this jargon some people talk about all day at work ~ they’re not my fucking words
around the clock and asynchronously
poured in as essence to the one
on the clock and synchronous
she felt an emergency watching me (carrying ten boxes, some for three neighbors)
the incremental load is not so much when your capacity is already significant ; i have a good capacity for boxes

sweetly imagining the right manager — I Can’t

the manager that taught me that managers can be good has
kinda been a ghost to me &
stepped away from
our relationship
Purposefully keeping me far, once
strong — disappearance, suspect

the hidden romance inside management
people are terrified of losing the power to coerce others through expressing their opinion
weaponized taste for events

Kendrick has been spurring energy in me (rich spirit, father time, united in grief)

[brother is] on vacation running away from his life

don’t let the darkness be the end of productivity

you have to keep earning the validity of your mouthpiece

if you do it, you can stay
