hypothetically I could do this on main, but I think “visakanv” has become a very particular thing, and I need to do something different, and it’s easier to do a different thing with a different tool/channel. it’s always a bit of an oddity trying to figure this out

[visakanx @visakanx]

I had the thought today that I need to practice thinking and working in fragments (because I just don’t have time as a parent)- before it hit me that that’s exactly what tweeting is. full fucken circle

Brian Chesky shares why the saddest day of his life happened the day after Airbnb went public at $100B:

"We go public, we have a hundred billion dollar valuation. It's one of the best days of my life. The next day, I go on a Zoom meeting, and it was like it never happened."

"It became like the saddest day of my life. Because I realized, I got all this adulation, and I don't feel any different."

"Adulation is like a cup with a hole at the bottom. You keep filling it in, thinking it's love, except it just keeps coming out the bottom."

"That made me reevaluate what I'm doing this for. I want to do things for pure intrinsic reasons. Do the work like you used to do, like when you were a kid. It was light. Just make stuff. Make it for yourself."

"So many entrepreneurs focus on what they want to be. "I want to be a giant tech founder. I want to run a billion-dollar company." Instead of focusing on, "What do I want to make."

There's no way to fail if you're making what you love."

Will probably redo the whole thing from scratch but this is a moderate improvement for now

[visakanx @visakanx]

kinda embarrassed in hindsight how much fluff I got on here. If I were my own client I’d kick my ass. So many details nobody cares about, and so little details about the stuff that matters. Gonna fix this tomorrow

[visakanx @visakanx]

@Coscorrodrift in a sense it is

[visakanx @visakanx]

just rediscovered this alt which I had completely forgotten about. and it has… less than 300 posts? refreshing

[visakanx @visakanx]

@FamilyofAutumn It used to be a random pics dump, I’d forgotten

[visakanx @visakanx]

@FamilyofAutumn Hi hi!!

[visakanx @visakanx]

@shacrw_ interesting

[visakanx @visakanx]

currently I am going through my screenshots on my phone and deleting things that don’t spark joy

[visakanx @visakanx]

I believed this since I was a kid and people called me naive and ignorant

I believe it still now

[Visakan Veerasamy @visakanv]

we can all uplift each other, support and challenge each other to be better, stronger, more effective, make more money, help more people. we can expand the pie and grow the small local economies amongst ourselves. we can invite new people to join us, fresh eyes and bold hearts

[visakanx @visakanx]

ok so here’s the interesting thing that’s happening

I had a bunch of new categories that I was really happy with, and they each informed an “hub post” that made the category redundant. So now I’m looking forward to eliminating all the categories and identifying new ones

[visakanx @visakanx]

trying to make it a habit to do little updates to my blog everyday and post them here

today I updated /desire-paths/ with links and notes to related posts, making it unnecessary to have a category of the same name https://t.co/QvyOpjl5QH

[visakanx @visakanx]

having some feelings about how many layers of life I’ve lived through – like rings of a tree, or ‘eras’- and what a challenge it is to represent all of them reasonably-faithfully

[visakanx @visakanx]

someone irl just told me about how they used to be friends with someone who’s a dedicated hater of my tweets. I love to hear it 🤓
