Millennial grey is actually the result of Millennials never being able to own anything, ever, keeping everything in their default colors as we yearn for the day when we can finally paint one of our walls without losing our deposit... A day which will never come

what's more entertaining than netflix?
more fun than video games?
more romantic than tinder?
more attention-grabbing than vertical video?

imo, it's a functional, healthy tribe. when i am in a good tribe, it feels like my senses are being used to their fullest extent

Most men fumble their dream girl because they haven’t done the inner work to keep her.

Successful men say they want a woman who’s kind, loving, and smart… and in theory, they do. But in practice, their unhealed wounds will see her bright light as a threat rather than an asset.

Guess who just sewed up the votes of the Oxford comma crowd?

I don't know who needs to see this, but ppl with ADHD aren't messy because they're disorganized. Leaving things out is an intentional organization method because with executive dysfunction, out of sight, out of mind. The "mess" is insurance that they'll remember important things.

there is nothing virtuous about being unexcitable. people who can never get excited about a single thing will suck the life out of you.

[Tracy Chou 🌻 @triketora]

i think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up

[John Li @jaylbird11]

At this point, I'm fully convinced that crispy writing is the one skill that can pull you higher in any field.

Check out these two emails I got for a marketing role at @vimcal — one from a director and the other from a 16-yr old kid.

Who would you rather take a chance on?

@jfkantrowitz This sounds inadvisable 😬 but then I have a hard time with artificially flavored fruit things

[meatball times @meatballtimes]

men unable to feel their feelings live confused lives, inflicting others, *especially women*, with the burden of feeling things *for* them or compensating for their total lack of self-awareness.

we need dedicated spaces for men to build emotional intelligence. where are they?

[Kristy Tillman @KristyT]

A good sign that an idea's time has finally come is when all of the little disparate scraps and pieces you've been collecting over the years start to connect effortlessly.

[Claire Angus @claireangus]

@h1ghju1ce @danidonovan Wait, some people can’t do that either?

“Everything feels unprecedented when you haven’t engaged with history.”

[Claire Angus @claireangus]

@emilykmay The folklore and evermore albums have a similar feel. The song “evermore” also features Bon Iver… a few other faves for emotional punch are “this is me trying,” “champagne problems,” and “illicit affairs”

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

If you’re a CEO/Founder/CPO, do check out the results of this poll. And then ask yourself what incentives you are setting (implicitly or explicitly) through your words, actions, policies, and if these are aligned with what you’d like your team to treat as their most important job

[Claire Angus @claireangus]

Might be time to permanently retire the term “revolutionary.” We seem to have lost the plot...

[Sherry @SchrodingrsBrat]

Life has seasons but no one talks about the temporary chasm between an old self that’s already gone and a new self that hasn’t fully formed yet, how frustratingly lost it feels, and how susceptible you are to latching yourself onto the wrong influences just to feel comfortable

[Claire Angus @claireangus]

This was a shock for me too. The one class they tried to include on social responsibility and ethics felt like an afterthought (in response to outside pressure / brand / rankings) and wasn’t well integrated.

[Ace @AceTheDeuce]

@OgLakyn True. I studied sociology in undergrad then went to business school. It’s scary how business school teaches you simply to be a financial mercenary for hire. Maximize shareholder value. Not a single class that asks “what impact will doing this have on society?”
