we have to be absolutely relentless about ourselves. no despair. no giving up. even if you’re slow, even if it’s scary. even if everyone else disagrees. only you need to understand. you know best where to give yourself slack and where not to. & you can’t lie to yourself

In an effort to enhance the prestige of vocational training, the Danish government is building 3 new Håndværkskollegiet (craft colleges).

This one, in Herning, opened last year. It hosts up to 85 people at once, & specialises in masonry, carpentry, plumbing & metal.

Stunning!

literacy is so bad rn that you can make yourself an asset simply by being able to articulate yourself well, think critically + having social skills. inadvertently became a trainer at work bc people are struggling that badly with verbiage/vocab and conversation skills

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

What’s more alarming than the decline in literacy is the total passivity & indifference that you see in so many people. No passions, no hobbies, not a single ember of wonder at the unfamiliar or willingness to learn new things. Ignorance can be cured, but incuriosity is death.

how life feels when nobody knows where you are or what you're up to

[latke @latkedelrey]

you can really tell whether or not someone has experience persevering… sometimes i see people giving up at the slightest, littlest inconvenience and i’m like do you not see how not over it is… you have options… fight back oh my god you’re stressing me out

Nevermind. There's so much more to life than waiting to be chosen. I will bathe in my own Sunlight

can we start a study on the rate of dementia between AI users and non AI users. I have a feeling

[Sebastian @coeurphius]

This is why I've always enjoyed the company of women much more. It is a feeling I'm not sure I will ever be able to express completely, but, way beyond romantic interest, women have brought joy in my life in virtually every area. Having conversations with them, working with them, watching them live — just being in their presence is pure bliss.

We may never know who introduced Takuya Nakamura to UK Jungle music, after moving from Tokyo to Boston to study Jazz theory - but I, for one, am very grateful.

Undiagnosed or unmedicated/unmanaged ADHD is saying "Tomorrow will be the day I'll finally get up, do the stuff that needs to be done, and start living my life to its fullest" and you unironically believe it every time until you look up one day and realise you are 30

People who moved abroad alone in their 20s, handled all docs, bank account, visa, tax, jobs, accomadation, and culture difference

These people fear nothing anymore

Liberals when they realize that most of the workplace benefits they enjoy today exist only because corporates feared labor movements influenced by the Soviet Union.

Chuck Jones put it pretty concisely as to what artists need to do to. Read and understand the way real life functions to get a baseline for inspiration
