if you stop living in the stories you tell yourself, nature will show you its own, and it contains all the others

Over consumption and hustle culture got y’all thinking that reading 200 books in one year is better than reading 3-5 books slowly and sitting with the information or the story

-Students re-entering academia (paying more tuition) to buy themselves more time It's a completely broken system that needs to be addressed. Changes to the H-1B lottery system, and per-country visa caps are doing the most damage. 200k Indian students enter, ~3% get to stay.

A Master's/ PhD does improve odds in the H-1B lottery, but even IF an Indian student goes through undergrad, and/or Master's and/or PhD here, there's no endgame. The current wait for an EB-2 visa, the green card for highly skilled/ advanced degree holders, is about 100 years.

About HALF of graduating Master's and PhD students are international students, (compared to ~5% of undergrad students.) One could argue the immigration system is so bad it forces 10x as many international students into academia. More schooling only delays the problem...

The US admits about 200,000 international students from India every year. 4 years later, they graduate into a free-for-all fight for green cards. Fewer than 3% will stay long term. The student visa-to-green-card pipeline is broken, and it hurts everyone. Quick math:

there is a certain narcissism in believing every form of media must accommodate, assuage, and/or represent every single ones very specific/niche identity markers and personality traits and for years now we’ve kind of allowed that to fester as legitimate cultural/media criticism

i watched a show not too long ago that was clearly hyper-fixated on representing every single ‘underrepresented’ group & fitting in every identity group clearly took priority over every other aspect of the show and it was, quite literally, one of the worse things i’ve ever seen

Some chapters on the spiritual journey are solely for you and God. They may not be understood by others, but they’re essential.

I was inspired and triggered by @FCTamakloe numerous tweets on self-proclaimed writers who don’t write so I’ve published my first write-up on Substack: smithereenssecrets.substack.com/p/when-you-dwe… Thanks Fui! You are indeed doing the Lord’s work. 😇
