contributing online is tough with all the haters, but it shouldn’t stop you from being true to yourself. "There’s a lot that’s bothersome about the world. Nevertheless we find a way to ayy lmao through it all…" good read by @visakanv https://visakanv.substack.com/p/oh-bother

The big thing I've learnt about the last five years of writing online is that you really do get the audience you deserve. https://x.com/visakanv/status/1412916757543616512?s=20

Love this anecdote from Scott Alexander where he didn’t think much of the book initially but then one of his clients read it and her severe trauma symptoms vanished https://x.com/visakanv/status/1652548739876409344?s=46&t=1ZW6Ake4qChPZxyoRqBUQw

liked this essay by @visakanv on mbti btw nicely conveys my biggest fear of these tests ie bucketing "this is just the way i am" https://www.visakanv.com/archives/2012/04/24/my-mbti-journey/

@visakanv said it better — you can’t think your way out of a courage deficit

Something that I've been thinking about, which I got from @visakanv: people who do things are able to point out tradeoffs you will encounter when you attempt to put things to practice. Whereas non-believable people will go "blah blah this thing is good."

If I would write a thread of how I overcame my own way of harnessing an overly active mind it would look like this, I think. written by @visakanv https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1672712756573904897?s=46

Tangentially curious about your approach to switching to new devices: do you port everything over? Fresh start? Vaguely feel like you might have mentioned before. (I personally like to Fresh Start it)

depends on the context I think it’s a good info hygiene principle like crediting artists, linking to sources, etc but it depends; when is it a passing influence vs the source material etc
