getting to end of DBT and it’s amazing, and sad how many of the life coaches frameworks are just cribbed from it layering on some flavour of privileged language
I hate how un seriously mental health is taken, if it was treated the same as physical ailments these creeps wouldn’t have a way in
woman in tpot DM’d me the other day and said SF culture frustrates her:she doesn’t understand why women debase themselves for shitty men there
I think a lot of people can understand queen bees but don’t understand how things are set up such that even non-QB’s are rewarded for upholding patriarchy
screams 'we have not been sued yet'
'toxic safety culture' is a new one to me tho
really cool when your writing makes reddit
that woman seems to be physically incapable of reading the room
cowardice
it's pretty cool when your ghosts release you from their haunting because you managed to find yourself again despite them
i see where he's coming from, bluesky is not as bad as the tech-right makes it out to be but it isn't the 'one big playground' model either
ie let's say the daily stormer wants to build something for atproto, there would absolutely be a revolt against management and the precedent's already been set
feeling really good today, group was good, being validated that friendly ambitious nerds trend towards being scumbags really helped
I think there might be some hope for effective altruism if they take this moment to practice some courage and make it clear the creeps aren’t welcome
they're a they, but not one i would want to be a voice in my community tbh
some of the EA forum people have been really nice and generally acted like adults and I think....
i think maybe the problem is with rationalists? that they have developmentally stunted leaders who facilitate harm through the insecure male nerd-ish lens sometimes manifesting as incel queens?
i really resent them planting their flag on the word 'nerd'
like... they are the only group of 'nerds' i've ever met that was that fucked up
of all the lessons i learned one of the biggest ones was to realize how vulnerable outwardly seeking community makes you
i think without that i would have seen these ppl for what they were and seen past the 'tee hee we're just illegible weird nerds'
pretty sure this is about me!
tpot / vibecamp ppl are frustrating for exactly this reason, they have created sheltered cloistered environments for themselves and anyone with the audacity to bring in real life experience gets invalidated in this way
Brodski also mentioned 'consumed by politics'
The DOJ just released the missing FBI interview records from a woman who told agents that when she was between 13-15 years old, Jeffrey Epstein brought her to Donald Trump in a building in New York or New Jersey. 1/2
really good half day cry today
tragedy
trump sneaking in anti-trans stuff into the save act is no surprise
today is not going to be a good day
it's crazy to see people still call it a 'free speech' platform
eventually you have to do something with it all though, and i think only now am i really in a place where i can do that, you can't do that when you're trying to figure out how to woman or best crippling ADHD you can't fight by yourself
watch the greg giraldo memorial special every once in a while and i think about what you get noticed for, and why
none of what happened has taken away any of those things, being noticed by thiel ppl for being smart or disney ppl for being an irl riot girl
i always thought you were really cool and such a strong voice
i think ultimately if a pair of sociopathic socialites were able to damage me this much, if they hadn't, someone else would have
i don't think you can make someone want to live
i think you can make things pleasant for them, or make it harder for them to stop living but something on the inside is just either there or not
aella is like some kind of meta-sex pest who creates cover for lesser sex pests
yep!!!
a point of accomplishment that saying women shouldn't have to have status to reject a man has upset her so much she is still sub-substacking about it
something new on cowardice and bravery within effective altruism and rationalism featuring conservative democrat (rip) Zell Miller
theasterisk.substack.com/p/tip-of-the...
a string of things that should have happened but didn't continually leads me back to things feeling impossibly small now
death scares me more, now, but so does the likely future
