1. When you feel bogged down and you can’t clear your mind, do something physical or get some exercise.
2. Set a time limit for your “thinking time” then make yourself move on to doing something else.
3. Interrupt the thinking process or distract yourself by diverting your attention onto something very different.
4. Stop discussing what concerns you with everyone you meet as you’ll just end up confused, and you won’t know what to do.
5. Accept that uncertainty is part of this life, and we don’t have all the facts, or know what’s further down the road.
6. Throw yourself into a project, a hobby or some work. That will force you to refocus on something else instead.
7. Let your mind go blank and just relax for a while. It will help you see more clearly when you start to think, next time.
…throw roses into the abyss and say: ‘here is my thanks to the monster who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.’
Friedrich Nietzsche (via psychedelic-tea)
Don’t confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I don’t want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizens’ basic survival needs.
hannah gadsby took the format of a 1 hour standup special and split it into 3 related acts: 1. do normal standup comedy jokes. funny. feminist. 2. riff extensively on art history. move back and forth between outrage at the patriarchy and hilarity. 3. critique the whole format of standup comedy, explain why she’s quitting her comedy career, and discuss her experiences as a survivor at the intersections of homophobia and misogyny with complete seriousness and sincerity. Woven in with stories from the “regular jokes” and “art history jokes” cast in a new light. will make you cry.
what a legend.
