The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

I remind myself of several things: progress is cumulative; it has inertia, meaning that it takes a while to ramp up, but also doesn’t stop immediately when my attention waivers; and success is a spectrum.

Do what you can when you can. Don’t worry about what you’re not doing at every moment - focus those thoughts on planning blocks.

Your normal day should be set up to knock out your task list. And once a week or so, you can sit down to determine what new tasks are needed to support your long term goals.

This. I was fine with streaming when it started. It’s literally what most people were asking for - a la carte pricing for specific channels you want, rather than having to pay a bloated fee for a bundle that you want less than a tenth of.

I’ve enjoyed streaming over the last few years.

But over the pandemic and now beyond, they’ve decided to start conglomerating, bundling up a bunch of content I don’t want, and charging me extra for the privilege. Which was the complaint about cable.

Just a wild guess, but probably a tracking field for how often you orgasmed due to it.

It’s insane how many left leaning leaders were assassinated. And it isn’t a coincidence that it was during the red scare. What we KNOW about McCarthyism is crazy enough, now think of all the stuff they wouldn’t say out loud to fight the “red menace.”

Two great books that touch on this: Dr Mary’s monkey and Mary’s mosaic.

Two different people named Mary, but both go deep down the JFK rabbit hole.

Find a gym with childcare. My local Y does, as do a few of the private gyms.

If you’re religious, churches often are good places to meet people in similar situations to you. Even if you’re not religious, or are politically progressive, there are congregations like Unitarians that may be a good thing to try.

Events at the library or park can be good.

I find 2x2 skates very difficult to balance in. in-line skates are actually easier.

I was 35 when I took over a team of 11 people. Most of them are younger, but a few were older.

It really depends on the people, so your key going forward will be paying attention, making time to talk to them, and following through on whatever you say…so be careful with what you say. It’s okay to not know and have to follow back up.

Time management has been my biggest struggle. Doing the daily job plus having the time and energy to actually manage (by setting expectations, following up, etc.) can be exhausting. One thing at a time - try not to counteract this issue by doing 30 things at once. That’s an easy way to lose track of something.

Centralized vs decentralized is a structural decision.

Censorship is what can be done within that structure. Centralized censorship means one group is able to block content, whereas decentralized “censorship” means that you can go to another platform with little to no fuss.

I use quotations because censorship is when you censor someone and stop their message from being seen, which you cannot do in federation. No one is required to megaphone info or opinions they don’t want to share, so it’s not really censorship to block content on your own instance.

Still coming out a little ahead.

Third party keyboard is probably the easiest option.
