Randian artist; doing things because they seem right and good to me. Moved by argument. Trying to make the world safe because I live here

@eshear Though that sounds very likely to get captured. And thus not too likely get trusted in the first place.

[sandra @sandra_sobanska]

I’d be curious if any of this resonates or what emerges when you ask yourself what’s your theory of feminine confidence (or masculine for that matter)

And @johnsalvatier is a really really awesome existential interviewer, he might be down to interview you too about Your Thing

[sandra @sandra_sobanska]

the other day @johnsalvatier took me on a date and interviewed me about what’s Sandra’s theory about feminine confidence

I loved eliciting it and he captured some things on this poster

Highlighting some things in the thread below

self scapegoating is a thing

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

I'm moving, and leaving the country. And it has me experiencing the grief hyperobject.
The pain and shame of ugliness, death and finiteness of all the ways I've messed up the move. Through my own limitations.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

Does a "is it me or them?" video call diagnostic tool exist? I'm uncertain about it so often

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

Discussing with @benwr @widget01212238

Who should direct the Snow Crash movie?

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

I got the core of this idea from Sophie Libkind

Faith is expecting things to make sense.
And non-naive faith is expecting things to make non naive sense.

@diviacaroline The suture thing feels incredible and want pics! quick googling turned up low res pictures that make it hard to tell. But there's also this video of people trying to do it: https://t.co/0iHA0HfF9j though without a cut.

From watching her think about the podcast, I've started appreciating recording as a way of honoring conversations.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

Sandra started publishing some of her conversations with her friends. I see an intention behind them like
"our conversations mean more than you might realize and are worth honoring"

[sandra @sandra_sobanska]

so... I started a podcast.

and I've been hesitating to share it publicly!
- not enough episodes yet
- logo could be better
- what if no one subscribes?
- I don't like calling it a podcast. I prefer "a space for conversations but it's a mouthful

but then...

It feels clear to me: asphalt melting violates our conception of 'street'. A place where our intuitive ontology breaks, and a familiar, everyday, background thing becomes a very strange, unexpected and slightly dangerous thing. Very Melting Asphalt.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

@kevinsimler I was surprised the Melting Asphalt about page says the name's meaning is unclear.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

@sandra_sobanska her original rec was https://t.co/Y1SqnoN6om. Which was pretty surprising to me.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

@sandra_sobanska and I came up with the concept of a birth playlist. And then you can give the playlist to the child when they're older. And there will be a song that you can say "this is your birth song".

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

I like circling and I like this proposal.

@FilmerJarred thesive: predisposed to generating theses

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

And traveling to a new place (even home), still makes me REALLY struggle to find warmth for a day or two.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

Over the last three months, I've been realizing how much having "bad energy" has been a constant invisible antagonist in my life.

[John Salvatier @johnsalvatier]

Or if I have a big meaningful thing that I don't know how to do. Or otherwise have a big sense of "should" or sense of indebtedness.
