I am finding LinkedIn's AI guided responses to be so insightful.

A real value-add to HR conversations that will help me follow employment law.

Don't start an agency if you hate service-based businesses.

It won't be your path to "passive income", endless riches, fame, or whatever else you're imagining.
You can't build a great company if you hate your own business model. No amount of productizing your services, outsourcing, playing voodoo with your margins, or pretending you're happy on social media will make up for your disdain of the very business you're creating.

Service-based businesses aren't a toy. Stop acting like it.

@researchbuzz I’m admittedly tired and pissed off.

People are constantly painting my chosen business type as either:

  1. Soul-sucking, inherently unprofitable and terrible undertaking
  2. Easy get-rich-quick scheme

and obviously neither is even remotely accurate!

@suzannealdrich well, I'm obviously just a stranger on social media but - anything I can give some quick tips or advice on? Feel free to ask here.

This is one of the best travel sites I used: visitingvienna.com

I read it over and over again before and during my New Year's trip to Vienna, Austria last winter. And this site made my family vacation brilliant.

You can call it a niche site.

But it's not made to rank, it doesn't use the same tricks of over-optimizing to death. No fluff, no lame intros.

Check it out, folks.
What do you think of it?

@MikeBlazer i'm gonna ask a controversial question...... is this "helpful content"? 👀

@MikeBlazer it's always nice to see examples that are actually good.

Today I am 8 years Sober!

The past 8 years have not been simple. I have had to build a new life. I have spent time in institutions and been diagnosed Schizophrenic. Importantly I was also diagnosed Autistic (that will be 8 years ago next November).

@DivergentDumpsterPhoenix congratulations!!! That’s an incredible accomplishment and the fact that you managed to stay sober despite your mental health struggles is even more incredible. You should be so so proud of yourself

Something I haven’t talked about publicly because I’m scared someone in my family will see it:

In trying to heal my #BPD and #cPTSD I’ve had to dig deep into my childhood and look for the roots of my #trauma.

And this time… I found them. Or rather - “it”. There is just one root for all of my many many many mental health troubles and life issues for as long as I remember.

It’s my mother.

My mother, who I still maintain contact with. She was my abuser.

I don’t know what to do.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

How do you process that the person who you thought was your “good” parent actually controlled, manipulated, and punished you into a completely distorted worldview where you saw everything as evil, broken, and abhorrent other than her?

How can you go on knowing your mother actively starved, physically tortured, mentally devastated, and broken you for every year of your existence?

How can you live when your own mother repeated you don’t deserve to exist?

I’ve had to make some very difficult decisions as an executive lately.

A team member who was a personal favorite of mine began underperforming and despite many second chances and attempts to help, kept getting worse in terms of their work until they nearly jeopardized the entire project. They also began lashing out at me and other team members in a way that was completely unacceptable.

And yet after letting them go I keep wondering if I was too harsh. If it was my fault. Ugh.

Remember to do the things that make you happy.

Yes, even now. Even when you feel like you have a million obligations to get to. Even when you feel like you haven’t earned it yet. Even when it’s “not the right time”.

It’s your life, dammit. Enjoy it. Do the things that make life worth living.

If you’re happy, you’re gonna be able to take care of others and meet your obligations better. You aren’t helping anyone by hurting yourself.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk 😂

What started out as one of the best weeks of my life ended up as a complete disaster.

I made one of the worst mistakes in my entire time in business so far, cost myself and my team money, lost trust of people important to me, ended up getting into a 5 day long BPD episode with panic attacks and full delusional paranoia, hurt people I love, and now I’m afraid that tomorrow will bring even more bad news as a result. My mental health is in shambles.

I am so glad to bid this week goodbye.

@pablor thank you. Really hoping things will get better soon.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

Wanted to let all of you know that things have gotten much better. I started getting good news the literal next day after posting this.

Everything isn’t completely fixed yet, but on its way. I have a lot of hope!

How did The New York Times, one of the world’s most famous and well-established publications, choose to review Geraldine DeRuiter’s ( @everywhereist) new book?

By illustrating her decapitated head on a plate, getting devoured by another woman. No, I’m not joking.

I got mad about it. I wrote about why:

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@boby_biq it’s hard to say how successful the book would have been. But as it stands yeah thankfully there has been enough backlash to sell copies of the book, but at what cost? This is so distressing even as a spectator. Can’t imagine the trauma to the author.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@jeromechoo @everywhereist i felt the same way. It was absolutely disgusting.

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

Platform responsibility.

It should be a basic factor for anyone publishing on the internet. “Are we being responsible with the reach and audience trust that we have by publishing this content in this way?”

And yet it seems like big platforms like the haven't heard of it.

In what world is it okay for one of the world’s biggest newspapers to publish a book review with a graphic of the author’s head getting EATEN????

I'm mad. So I'm . Expect a tonight.

Idk how to feel about that 😅

"This is a cool tool". Totally real. Very descriptive. Such praise. Wow. :blobfoxgooglyconfused:

I just ran a first full company meeting for my agency and I’m still shaking that was terrifying

Wanted to cancel until 10 minutes before but I can’t really do that given I’m the CEO 😭

Thankfully it seems to have gone okay? I think people liked it????
