If you're not mad, you're not paying attention
but first a tangent
i promise i'll get to the main point i want to write but first a tangent
i started wiring a post, emotionally driven, but it became a thread. Well that's not the right format, because of context collapse. So I thought i should write a @unthread.at since it's just gonna be a shoot from the hip kinda post, but if i'm already switching posting tools, why not use this blog? I think reducing that friction and making an appview that supports both kind of posts would be great. I like the direction bluesky PBC is developing bluesky social-app to support standard site, so i hope the embed gives enough of a hook to drive click throughs
getting mad (the main point)
If you're not mad, you're not paying attention
I can't spend that kind of emotional energy or attention.
I know shit is bad. ๐ ๐โ๐๐
but I have to help myself, and not be a burden to others, and where i can; help others. either by sharing, caring or just witnessing them.
I can affect change by helping others
I have enough internal demons seeking destruction, that is where my fight is. and they hate it when i can treat others better and with kindness
so if you think I'm not paying attention, I am. I'm just paying attention to something else. the people around me, the ways I can lighten their load, no matter how small the gesture
yes, I'm seeking a bit of redemption, but that's my demon to fight. I'm not asking you to fight them for me
so no, I'm not gonna get mad. long term anger no longer fuels me
and no, I'm not paying attention to all the large-scale terribleness we inflict upon each other
