I’m pretty sure this was an intentional reminder of the days when cats were worshiped.

Control is an illusion. Not being interested in politics means accepting the things you can’t change to preserve your sanity.

It wouldn’t have been Hitler that would have gotten you canceled. It would have been suggesting we go get involved in another war so soon after WWI with no real evidence that it would be important.

From the very beginning. It’s much more magical and less creepy.

1823: we should let the Indians have their land

1923: we really need to go over to Europe and stop that Hitler guy

I collect paintings and other things from estate sales.

Also macrame hangings.

“Core memory” doesn’t mean emotional. It means formative. It’s something that makes you who you are, and emotion doesn’t have to be tied to that.

So exhausting the emotion doesn’t mean exhausting the core memory.

Strong emotion is most often a lack of processing. Once your brain processes something sufficiently, the emotion fades. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect who you are.

People who believe they are intellectual rarely are, or they would be able to couch their points in more accessible ways.

Bring a blanket from home. It’s good to have something to wrap yourself in when you’re lonely.

Also, as Judy Scheindler said, better to live in a cardboard box alone than a penthouse with roommates. If you can manage it, forgo roommates. They will screw you over. Try to pay 25% of income for rent, even if you have to take transit or commute.

Also, pay off all debt and save at least 25% of your wages if you can at all manage it. A little caution when young will be a huge benefit in just a few years.

It’s not noticed much, but information architecture based on business definitions instead of user needs.
