Everyone with an audience started from zero at some point.

This was my start, 12 months ago:
And this was my progress over the following 11 months:
One thing to avoid is an expectation of smooth linear progress (because that will likely disappoint you). While at the month/year level the growth might look almost linear, on a daily level it's mostly flat, with occasional random spikes:

It’s been a year since I left full-time employment to work for myself.

Here are some important things I realized since then.

Thread 👇
1. Uncertainty is very uncomfortable.

Even though I knew I was going to live off my savings for a while, I underestimated how tough it is to see losses accumulate month after month, and not knowing exactly when & how the losses will stop.
2. Redundancy makes uncertainty a lot less uncomfortable.

At first I thought it would be more efficient to focus on one thing at a time.

Now I prefer doing a few things in parallel. It’s less efficient, but there’s a lot of comfort in having multiple things going on.

Here begins a thread on my complaint about how DHS handles #FOI requests that I made way back in March 2017. #tljr
"The FOI complaints each raised numerous allegations relating to the Department's processes for handling requests for access to documents made under the #FOI Act." Indeed we did. #tljr
"Many of the allegations overlap between the complaints and each of the complainants alleged that
their right to access information under the #FOI Act was delayed by the Department's approach to processing their FOI requests." #tljr

@ everyone saying people in alabama should simply move away: please log off forever and permanently shut the fuck up.
it’s mostly 47 year old women named jennifer who would write a strongly worded letter about having their neighborhood rezoned to allow duplexes and can’t possibly be racist because they voted for obama twice.
even if you can’t muster up a scintilla of compassion for people who, for thousands of reasons, cannot pack up and move to your progressive coastal city, you’re out of your goddamn mind if you think your northern state’s legislature is free of this shit.

Everyone should read the independent Russia reports released by Senate Intel.

And, as you scrimmage to make the report fit your political opinions, pls keep one thing in mind.

Russia doesn't care about your political movement. They've done this for decades. They only want chaos
Putinist Russia believes that the West is morally weak, and Democracy is in its sunset. They believe that historically, societies have been governed by the strong over the weak, and the world is slowly returning to its natural order. They believe that you conquer or be conquered.
Oxford report is a small piece of a larger puzzle. It focuses on how Russia manipulates democracy through factions. But, at the risk of marginalizing their efforts (unintentional, because this was serious), what should concern the West is Russia's external threat.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

THREAD A few months ago, I took steps to address my mental health. I think I've known for a long time that I've had anxiety and depression issues I just chose to ignore them, to lean into them, to just turn my nose up at them like I was superior somehow. I wasn't, I'm not. (1/23)
I don't know what the origin is, where it started or why. I just know it's there, it's been sitting on my shoulder whispering into my ear telling me I don't deserve happiness and that everyone is looking at me and mocking me and I'm not worth a damn, or not good enough (2/23)
As a kid at some point I became a tornado of emotion. Fighting with my mom, breaking down in tears about going to school, even skipping 2 weeks straight by hiding in a patch of bushes until it was safe to go back home. No one noticed. (3/23)
