its important to follow some accounts on here that post things that are completely above your pay grade. people with advanced esoteric educations or fields of study, people who have been hyperfixated on one really obscure historical subject for ten years etc. because you CAN gradually, through exposure alone, eventually brute force yourself a little smarter. ive done it many times. after a few months or years of silently reading their posts with total incomprehension you will suddenly understand just enough to start asking polite questions and then youre really on to something

some people are really good at going deep, committing themselves for years, even decades. I am really good at going shallow. I will try everything once, I love cooking and baking and canning and gardening and sewing (hand and machine!) and painting and writing and scrapbooking; reading, listening to various kinds of music, forming opinions about audiobooks as divorced from written text; I've made mostly bad jewelry, I've done walking tours and pub trivia tournaments, I'm slowly making my way through the list of Chicagoland museums, I have tickets to weird performances (King Lizard and also a Baroque opera!) and season tickets to touring musicals. Some things last! Other things don't.
the beauty of going shallow is that...it's all there. In your hubris, you can do and participate and adopt or discard it all. No one is going to stop you.
amazing.

Was talking to a coworker today who explained that her grandfather was like Snow White “but Californian. And an old man.” in that the creatures of the forest would follow him around and presumably duet with him.
“When he died the ravens sat in the trees outside for a week, watching. Taking turns. A horde of raccoons tried to break into the house every night, tearing at the siding. Eventually they gave up, but it was unsettling.”
“Aww. They were checking on him!” I said, like a normal person. Internally, I thought “Maybe you could do the thing you do with dead pets, where you show them to the living pets so the living pet understands they’re gone. But I guess if you did that to a bunch of scavenging species, they’d be like “Well, that’s very sad but he IS food now.” So what you’d need, for human sensibilities, is some sort of transparent corpse barrier. Like a see-through coffin oh that’s what the dwarves were doing! You’ve stopped paying attention to this conversation about the loss of a beloved family member you gotta phase back in.”
