“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”

my new favourite way to fuck with my coworkers is by responding to any minor injuries they get by asking them if the offending object bit them. burned by a hot drink? aw, did it bite you? cut your hand on a sharp edge? oh no, did it bite you? bumped into a table and bruised their shins? guess you got bitten. they know to expect it now but it still gets them every time.

"do it scared" ok but I would like to do something some other way occasionally. Like at least once. For a change.

"terminally ill people should be allowed to choose to die if they feel it is the best decision for them" and "euthanasia can easily become eugenics" and "we should provide support for depressed and suicidal people" are statements that can come into conflict but should all be respected

i hate it when customers get mad about policy and go “well i’ve always thought it worked differently” like ok. when i was a kid i thought the drains in sinks and bathtubs lead to Hell and i would pour things down them for the dead people. it turns out that you can think things that aren’t true

"i hate it when GIRLS die" really was a formative landmark game changer for me like it's not even a tweet anymore it's a profound truth about the universe. i never want the context for it i understand completely.
