You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

• Dale Carnegie

So true here on the #Fediverse. Solid advice for those starting out here. Be interested in other people. 😊

So, a co-worker has a cold today.

Got me thinking. I honestly thought having a pandemic will finally stop people from showing up sick at work. But it doesn’t.

I used to be one of those who will suck up any illness and continue work, seeing patients, even without a mask 🫢😧.

But Covid changed my perspective on this. If we can, we shouldn’t work when we’re sick. It shouldn’t be a radical idea.

The truth is #SuicidePrevention is not just therapy, psychoactive medications, counselling or lifestyle change.

We should acknowledge that socio-economic factors affect mental health ⤵️

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (in English):
“It is inevitable — the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊

"Keep my stories alive so that you keep me alive. Remember that I wanted a normal life, a small home full of my children’s laughter and the smell of my wife’s cooking. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing such a small dream."

I’ve tried quite a number of #Twitter alternatives but I think, the content on the #Fediverse is still the most diverse and toptier among them. Yeah, Bluesky is interesting enough w/ a lot of funny shitposts. Threads is populated with “official” social media accounts of notable entities.

But it’s only here that I know of random joyous things about an ordinary man in the outskirts of an far-off country.

One child is killed in Gaza every 10 minutes according to Save The Children.

Let that sink in.

134 Filipinos in Gaza will now be allowed to leave but their spouses are not.. because their spouses are Palestinians.

Doesn’t that sound cruel and wicked?
