After ~12+ years on these platforms, it's never been more clear: The healthier I am, the less I want to touch social media. And being off social makes me even healthier. The worse I feel, the more I stay inside the loop. And the loop makes me feel even worse.
A formula for better writing: Curiosity minus Expectations (C - E) If you write with the expectation of a reward – the idea that this piece will get you something – it'll corrupt the output. The best writing is the genuine expression of personal research and curiosity.

Gender affirming care saves lives. The person on the left was depressed and suicidal more often than I'd like to admit, but thanks to hormones and eventually surgery, getting to see myself become the woman I was supposed to be has made my life better and happier in every way.
Now that I’m no longer bound by my non-disparagement agreement I can talk about the GQ retreat, on which a coworker refused to let me try playing Pokémon Go because we were on a ferry and there were “rare water Pokémon” in the ocean.
