No context but if you won't go, you won't know

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

the art of keeping in touch:

> please please ALWAYS feel free to reach out to your friends that you've lost touch with. it will be the most welcome surprise
> if you're insecure why you lost touch; it happens and it's a normal part of life. that doesn't make your memories together any less special
> old friends are next level comfort. it’s history, past, and context that doesn’t need to be explained since they lived it right beside you
> there are life seasons - people move, change jobs, start school, start dating, breakup, get sick, grieve - all of these can impact how easy it might be to stay in touch and it's generally never personal
> make it a habit: whenever someone comes to mind, text them immediately. don't overthink it! this helps to maintain a lot of relationships at once

"hey, was just thinking about you! how you been?"
"just remembered the time we <funny memory together> it made me smile"
"saw <thing that reminds me of you> and thought of you"

> getting this type of message will likely make their day and bring back good memories for the both of you
> from there you can: have a back-and-forth texting convo, send voice memos, hop on a call, or figure out when you'll be in the same city again and make plans (woohoo!!)
> just as you're changing over time, your old friends are changing too. they're growing up right alongside you. even if you don't connect in the exact same way you did before, the shared context and memories are wonderful and irreplaceable

don't wait for the 'perfect moment' to reconnect - that perfect moment is now 🤍

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Keshya Valerie @snoopiette]

we must free ourselves from the shackles of embarrassment in pursuit of genuine connection, for risk is a natural requirement for authenticity. blurt out a random compliment!!!! commit that faux pas!!!! say your uhms and ahhs!!!!

[Karen Hao @_KarenHao]

The Pope has weighed in: AI isn't magic. It is produced by a currently deeply exploitative, extractive supply chain. It challenges human dignity; it could fuel a new colonialism. And among the greatest challenges of our time will be to redirect its path of development.

[Pun Parag @Enola_guy12]

Yes, it is okay to embarrass yourself for human connection but it is not ok to repeatedly embarrass yourself for the same human's connection

In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell explained why some people succeed &amp; some don't.

This talk reveals:
• Why ability is overrated
• Why effort alone isn’t enough
• How systems quietly decide outcomes

12 lessons from Gladwell that'll permanently change how you think about success:

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

you're not making new friends because you

> leave every conversation at surface level
> rarely get vulnerable or real
> assume they're too busy
> unwilling to try new experiences
> forget about your own agency
> rarely smile at strangers
> accidentally give out unfriendly energy
> expect it to just happen naturally
> stopped saying yes to random things
> cancel when you're tired

we're in a loneliness crisis

we need to remember real friendship takes time and effort

put in those reps to start living a social life that feels FULL!

you got this!!!

SUPPRESSING YOUR EMOTION CAUSES EARLIER DEATH???

So far

[PS @dostoevesque]

Write your tasks down. Use your brain to remember principles and techniques, and not tasks. You are not supposed to remember tasks that you can forget once they are completed. Do them now, not in the future.

We often treat our future self like a stranger or a more capable version of ourselves who will magically become motivated, energetic, and disciplined. In reality, when tomorrow arrives, that future self feels exactly like the present one. Tired, distracted, or averse to the task.

An unfinished task is like dust in the eye. You may live with it, but you won't live with it peacefully. Trust me, your future self is the most unreliable person you can come across, and your future self will be glad that you did it yesterday

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."
