self-care does something to you. it's not immediately noticeable but a shower and a change of clothes bumps your mood up a bit, for example.

a feeling of contentment and happiness came over me like a hug out of nowhere.

i'm not entirely sure i've experienced it before to be honest. my brain is switching on new systems again.

it's been doing that during this dead period of my life that has lasted since 2020. very gradually allowing me to function a bit more like a normal person.

also, there's more clarity about what my desires and motivations are. the silence is frustrating and boring but it also gives space for contemplation and self-development that was missing before.

there's zero pressure for me to do things and no one truly cares for me, so if anything is to happen, it's because i alone made a decision. and if someone cares for me, that person is me.

so in a way, i have space to learn how to take care of myself which i didn't have before.

Scientists in the 1990s: We split the atom! We landed people on the moon! We cloned a sheep! We discovered superconductivity! We're digitizing all of the world's knowledge for global, near-instantaneous access!

Scientists in the 2020s: No, vaccines don't include 5G chips and make you sterile. No, the Earth is not flat. No, jet contrails are not mind-control sprays. Yes, climate change is real.

“Dear Keir Starmer: here’s what you should know about Sunak’s attack on climate policy – he lied and lied

He says measures are unaffordable: official figures say otherwise. He says costs will fall on the poor, but that’s a choice made by his government”

Liz Cheney is warning all that Jim Jordan was a "leader" in Trump's attempted coup. She also stated if House GOP make Jordan Speaker it means Republicans could no longer be "counted on to defend the Constitution.” She's 100% right.

Adults are trying to improve schools by looking towards their past; “what worked for me will work for them,” is the misguided reasoning.
