n.
a tendency to fall in love with anything related to the sea; love of or enthusiasm for the sea.

A word I made up in early 2013. And yes, it goes without saying—I love the sea.

The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.

In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.

It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.

This is the same as getting sick. You don’t get stronger the more you get sick.

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Trauma doesn't make people stronger. It damages their nervous system. It hijacks their digestive tract. It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma they endured is to deny what it cost them to survive it.

In a world where screens dominate and reading books is on the decline, choose to read more books and share your love for reading with those around you.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

“Here is something I made—”

It’s clearly AI-generated. All you did is write a prompt. You didn’t make anything.

The world we live in jfc it’s exhausting 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Bess Kalb @bessbell]

Hi! I hope this email finds you in another dimension where none of this is happening and everything is fine.

I wish we stopped calling it “poor mental health,”and started naming things like oppression, abuse, past traumas that live in peoples minds and bodies. Poor mental health is often a result of poor treatment. In order for there to be change, the whole story needs to be told.

“You’re still hurt by that? That was a long time ago!”

Not to a nervous system. Abusive behavior puts a brain on constant alert to send warning so it doesn’t happen again. It was a long time ago for the perpetrators, but survivors remember & experience it like it was yesterday.

@Ryan_Daigler Hi! 👋😄

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

There are family traditions that need to end in order for healing to begin. The first person to say this will be blamed for creating chaos, yet they will be the one paving the way towards healing and health. Not just for themselves, but for all who long to live in peace.

[soul khan, msw @soulkhan]

we're governed by monsters who would rather live as the last person atop a mountain of skulls than build a safe, equal, and dignified world for all. i am exhausted by this shit

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

When you confront someone who responds by shaming you or changing the subject, they’re telling you they’re not going to hear you. People do this when they feel exposed or threatened. Their motive is to regain control of the narrative. You being heard is not part of that equation.

[Casey ☻ @seaphilia]

@nate_postlethwt Yes!! You’re not ‘holding onto anger’ by refusing to excuse harm. You’re holding onto self-respect. ✊

[Casey ☻ @seaphilia]

💯💯💯😔

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

I wish we talked more about how much community you lose when you choose to evolve. Asking questions, self-reflection, and pursuing change make comfortable people uncomfortable.
