The @eff needs to make an app that parodies those "which Character are you" things on #instagram and #snapchat

Instead of choosing your Harry Potter or Star Wars likeness, it shows you the data it knows about you over your head.

The internet is often praised for speed, instant communication.

We use things people said online to crucify them. We talk of futures we fear or delight in, but it is all in the past.

The internet is far from instant. People change every moment. We have to stop condemning each other.

I'm not against debate, but remember we're all suffering and the below each side of an argument is someone suffering.

My doctor got me on something which seemed to help with the suicidal thoughts.

I've had a backward slide in the last 2 months and the thoughts are far more prevalent. So, the meds probably aren't doing the job anymore.

I'm not looking forward to having this conversation with the doctor and I'm not looking forward to new meds.

If you're around Edmonton this March you can come see my first ever attempt at an art show.

A Break in a Pattern is Not Always a Break in Habit: http://savethis.space/2020/a-break-in-a-pattern-is-not-always-a-break

Working at the cafe as my partner does her homework before I go and meet my nephew. One table, 2 older ladies having a chat while knitting. They're calm and even in the silence they are fine. Another table has 2 women in their 30s talking over each other and doing nervous giggles every 10 minutes.

I'm trying not to be judgemental, but all that laughter seems to be hiding insecurity. While the older women are simply comfortable where they are at. I wish I was the older women.

What is the motivation for content makers on YouTube to hound viewers to turn on notifications?

I am curious.

It has been a rough start to the new year. My headspace has been dark and I'm observing a lot of thoughts on #suicide. I decided to blog about these thoughts and it helped.

The Dangers of Self Sabotage: https://savethis.space/2020/the-dangers-of-self-sabotage

Anyone else find it off-putting when friends with iPhones text you back with "Liked 'quote of your last text?'

I choose text at times for the speed and clarity. I don't need erroneous 'yes I received and read your message' texts.

Double standard:

I can say, "Will anyone actually want to pay for my artwork?"

My partner cannot say that.

😢

Pressure. Stress. Anxiety. This is me at job interviews. It's me when I am applying. It's me when I am looking.
Painting and drawing are a new found joy. I am not anxious about being 'good enough' as I am about work. Art is the thing filling my tanks these days. I feel a sense of worth doing it.
"So...work part-time, or get a job and still use art to fill your tanks, Chris!" I lack the excitement and I am filled with anxiety at this prospect. I am loathing me ATM.

Training is never mentioned. It's just "preferred" you would know it all.

There are lots of issues with how we do hiring in the world, but it occurred to me today that job postings are garbage. Basically it is all HR legal-ease that is carefully written to include every *Possible* thing you could encounter. So you don't get a real description. You don't get the actual shift/days they want covered.
