I’ve noticed that several of my extremely beloved women friends - super intelligent, super articulate, great sense of humor, amazing personality etc... have sisters who are slightly more conventionally-attractive than them
This is less “whoa ur sister is hot haha” and more “I’m curious about what it was like growing up for you, and how it shaped your self-image. How did people treat you differently? What did they assume about you? And how have you acted in accordance or in defiance of that?”
❤️❤️❤️

one of the coolest things I can do is refer someone else who's more qualified than me + a better fit than me for something. I manage to simultaneously...

1. make at least two people very happy
2. create some real wealth in the world
3. avoid actually doing any work myself
there is some meta-work:

1. you gotta keep track of who's good at what (which I find naturally interesting to pay attention to)

2. you gotta be Not Be An Asshole + Not Tolerate Assholes, which is generally advisable anyway
"keeping track of who's good at what" is a subset of "keeping track of what's good", which is a subset of "cultivate taste"

1. cultivate taste
2. share it with others freely
3. don't be an asshole

holy shit, people *love* you now

why were 90's cartoons intro themes so damn good?
I mean, the MCU has been pretty great, but I don't think anything about it slaps nearly as hard as the 90s X-Men cartoon intro
The Ghostbusters starts out kinda chill, but when you get to the 30 second mark – the melody, the descending bass notes, (one note hits deliciously earlier than you expect it to), then the harmony on top... so sick

One of the reasons I am drawn to writing, and ~LitErArY pUrSuiTs~, is that I find it to be an exciting, liberating, emboldening way of making sense of the world, of making meaning. It doesn’t even need to be Meaning with a capital M. It’s just about playing with associations
What I mean by that is – writing, tweeting, playing with ideas – these are ways in which I make the world around me more interesting, more meaningful. One simple way to do this is to research the history of every object in your vicinity. Suddenly your boring stuff comes alive
I've been thinking about talismans recently – everything sacred becomes sacred because people deem it such. You can decide to give objects meaning. It's not *entirely* arbitrary – there's an art to it, the stories you tell with and about your objects should resonate with you

WOMEN //a thread//

I was raised by all women.

My father had gotten my mother pregnant when she was just 15. His father
insisted on an abortion or he'd 'write my pops out of the will'. My pops bailed.

My mother raised me--and 4 siblings--mostly alone.

#HappyWomensDay2019
Mom's water broke in biology class. she finished HS--preggo--with me, in 1975. There's pictures of me as the little cheer squad mascot for the #RioLindaKnights.

As I grew up, I remembered the power and influence and wisdom of WOMEN in my life. My Great Grandmother was the key:
Great Grandma Florence had bought 3/4 of an acre in #NorthSac (w/ her husband), when acres were $5.00 ea. They couldn't afford a full one! Great Grandpa died & I never knew him.

Grandma was our true #MATRIARCH. She had a huge garden w/veggies on one side, flowers on the other.

Freedom from Yesterday...Word reaches the FBI that a person has escaped from the hands of a serial killer who Jungkook and the BAU have been chasing for years. Park Jimin is different from what Jungkook was expecting, though. He needs to be saved, but will he let anyone help him?
Yoongi is the unit chief on the team. He has an ability to empathize with victims and the criminals they pursue, which makes profiling them much easier, but arresting them more complicated. For those who watch Criminal Minds, he is loosely based on the Aaron Hotchner character).
Second in command to Yoongi, Chanyeol seems like he is interested only in wine, books, and the finer things in life, but his sharp brain and intense observation skills make him an excellent profiler. (For those who watch Criminal Minds, he is loosely based on David Rossi).

Extraordinary physicist Stephen Hawking, a man synonymous with the mysteries of the cosmos, died at home in Cambridge this morning at the age of 76. pops.ci/p5Xyci
Even if you weren’t a physicist, you knew Stephen Hawking. You knew he was a genius whose mind grappled with cosmological conundrums as massive as black holes and the existence of the Universe. pops.ci/p5Xyci
His children said in a statement: "He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever."
