If want to win in we need to go full on New Deal 2.0. for all, universal basic income, job retraining, get off fossil fuels etc. etc. etc. Send out everyone: POTUS, Bernie, Liz, Kamala, Taylor Swift, Springsteen etc. etc. etc. It’s either or and the time is now. Go big or go home.

I’ve been though divorce recently and despite being very amicable, it’s caused me to reset - some things broke, but being more emotionally open has been one of the good things. I’m still pretty reserved but a few things are different:

  • I care a lot less about conforming to “ideals” or how anyone judges me. That means I no longer feel the fear and second guess everything I say.
  • When appropriate, I ask people - especially other men - how they’re doing and gently push for a genuine answer. No one’s reacted negatively to that, so far.
  • With my kids, I simply do the opposite to my father. I tell them I love them, I take an interest in them, and I take their feelings seriously. I don’t coddle them, but I want them to feel secure and confident in talking to me. They’re still young, so we’ll see.
  • During work 1:1s, I take a genuine interest in people, most will subtly drop hints that they had a bad weekend or are feeling tired or stressed. I used to gloss over that, now I’ll ask about it and say I’m happy to listen. A surprising number will go on to share, with the bonus that it builds trust.
  • If someone asks how I am, I won’t lay it all out for them, but I’ll be honest. Most people empathise and tell you they’ve been through similar. It’s never been awkward, and I’ve found out nearly everyone I know is pretty anxious and is going through difficult stuff.

As an aside, I never watched much porn because I found it so cold and alienating. It’s interesting that you found the opposite. Anyway, I’ll stop there and wish you well!

Rolando,

Astrix is awesome. His set at the 2019 Ozora Festival is one of my go-tos when I need music to work to.

@Arotrios Love, love, LOVE Writing Down the Bones. With insightful and easily digestible chapters, it's a golden guide to becoming a better writer. I reread it every couple of years or so.

CryptoNaturalist, to poetry

Bone Collector

A vulture reads a poem in the bones,
sensing what we tend to forget.

Deer skulls like ghost ships
sailing the leaf litter are beautiful.

Rotting logs with capes of moss
and mushroom crowns bleed magic.

A ribcage cathedral in the stream
braids hymns from water and light.

We couple loveliness with growth,
but decay is not just approaching absence.

Death also blooms.

The Sumerian creation stories are the oldest known myths in human history. They predate the biblical accounts of Genesis by thousands of years and share many similarities. The discovery of these ancient texts challenges the originality and authority of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Shakespeare originally intended that Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, to be a romantic comedy. When the plot came to a dead end, he changed the dramatic tract.

: In the Cotswolds the rite “clipping the church” was celebrated when the yews in the churchyard were clipped around the autumn equinox. In England some village churches were sites of this ritual wherein children performed a circle dance around the churchyard, touching (“clipping”) the church’s walls as they cavorted. As churches were often erected on ancient holy sites, this rite has been seen as reflecting a ritual once conducted beside or inside a stone circle, where the stones were touched by passing celebrants.
