Hot take- Hating and complaining is healthy for authenticity and intimacy
In the new age era, there is so much emphasis on positivity and light. I sense a superficial texture at times, where it's challenging for me to feel the depths of the person before me.... A future I love: Collaboration AI and Collective Agency
This vision is totally under construction right now, so the way I share it here is going to be choppy and incomplete, because that's what I've got. Near future: Tipping Point for sensible discourse - I dream of a near future where red and blue don't only throw things at one... 😂 hmmmm it has me thinking…. I asked ChatGPT if it could explain itself, and it’s honestly a beautiful answer– This image appears to depict a somewhat retro or vintage scene with a mix of social interactions.... I need a new word.
I’ve been using the word autistic as a description of a state experience where, when one is in such a state, they don’t recognize subtle passive cues from others.... Telling people that I upvoted/downvoted their comment when I do and telling them why
(Triggered)(Feel super activated about the hiddenness and anonymity of the downvoting) I want to see what happens when it’s ok to be explicit about affecting someone’s status. (Fear that I’ll be avoided and ultimately alone.... Having Hard Conversations
There are many subjects where I want to learn more, but depending on how polarizing they are, I don’t feel I can explore them "out loud" for fear of offending or being "cancelled." Also, someone could easily take a snapshot of what I said or believed at a moment in time and it... - josefine...

As well as the meaning / affect / power "domains", there are different "action stances" - moving, following, opposing and bystanding (going meta / naming the context).... - annabeth...
Exactly. In fact, last night my Flow session at the studio turned into a cuddle pile in the middle of the room, and one of the things we were talking about that we were navigating was constantly asking for consent for touch and how much unmet touch needs we had.... This is a beautiful share, thank you. I find your writing so personal and relatable at the same time. I have to try really hard to write like this; if i don’t it just comes out super theoretical. I’m afraid it comes across as arrogant as well, like I know better.... Gotcha! Yeah, I think basically there's nobody sticking around here yet because there's nobody who's stuck around here yet. In my imagination, everyone who comes and is part of some good conversation here then looks around and in their mind is like, "Why aren't there way more... this seems true—even the ancient locals like myself are constantly making new friends. I’ve also heard that dating here is really fun for that reason—you never lose options; but can be frustrating for some people because people they like move... Upvoting: Thanks for that exploration. For some reason, the "voice" of labeling from Integralists, generally, doesn’t seem to name its own voice. Something about that feels really interesting. Seems like an unconscious smuggle.... Reading this illuminates for me that I DO want to experiment with relationship configurations because I enjoy directing time/energy/attention toward things (experiences in the relational realm, people, social dynamics) in this realm… so it feels good and worthwhile and on "my... The flavor of envy and jealousy I typically experience is in the realm of wanting more time with people… Like if I’m left off of an invitation, a friend has a preference of going to a concert with her boyfriend over me, or my boyfriend goes on a date with someone else on a night...
