This is your friendly reminder to check in on all those Mastodon/Fedi bookmarks you've been collecting and meaning to follow up on, but have completely forgot about.

(The reminder is for me)

I'm sorry I didn't talk to you for the last 6 months. In my defense, I thought about saying hello to you about 7000 times but then realized I didn't have anything useful or interesting to say, so I didn't say anything at all.

-- me to virtually all of my friends

“...We have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

“But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin
