We tend to instinctively avoid both physical and emotional pain. Who wants to feel worse? Yet when we realize that our pain is actually a message telling us to pay attention, we begin to approach our experience differently.

Continuing to try to figure out the internet and information in 2025. Access to information has changed a lot in 20 years—it now seems that individuals have an intense responsibility as "executives" of their own attention.

I'm threading together my new place online: for my art, for my political discourse, for my support of quality press institutions, etc.

Mastadon is a decentralized social network: let's not let that mean "siloed."

A quotation from Cal Stewart

I don’t believe in kickin’,
   It aint apt to bring one peace;
But the wheel what squeaks the loudest
   is the one what gets the grease.

Young people today navigate unprecedented challenges: economic precarity, geopolitical instability, the erosion of traditional pathways in work and #education, AI's looming disruption of career prospects, and accelerating climate catastrophes.

Banning phones is a superficial solution to profound problems.

The evidence is unignorable and demands our #attention.

This poem breaks my heart all over again every time I read it. C/w violence mentioned.

From "Testimony" by Rebecca Baggett:

"I want to say, like Neruda,
that I am waiting for
"a great and common tenderness,"
that I still believe
we are capable of attention,
that anyone who notices the world
must want to save it."

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire — such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other — as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself — no doubt justly — a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero

This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)
