Uncategorized The world is scary and broken, while my life is pleasant and ordinary.
I know this isn’t a new or deep revelation, but it feels really wrong.
I can understand the urge of people to just shut out all the unpleasant stuff, to keep their minds on the ordinary, the normal.
At the same time, I really don’t want to do that. It feels deeply wrong.
And yet! What can I do? I have absolutely no influence on what’s going on in the USA (or Germany, or Ukraine, or Syria, or Sudan), and barely more on slowing the progression of the climate crisis.
And so I sit here with this unease.

Uncategorized Okay, this year I will radically cut all the questions I find uninspiring / I answer the same thing or “I dunno” every year. I will not update the question numbers tho. 😂

Uncategorized Poor, poor neglected blag. I even (nearly) forgot about this survey!! It has now been running for over 20 years, maybe I should stop. But it’s so hard to let go. Who knows, I might appreciate the retrospective in a few decades. Esp. as social media is so ephemeral, and my memory so terribal. Er, terrible.

Uncategorized I hate the constant drive for professional improvement prevalent in our culture (or, mostly, American culture which spills into ours). Be more productive, become more efficient, do one thing better, grow your business, never just sit back and do your job, you know? That said. I do chase improvement. My goals are different, more personal, and in fact have a lot to do with slowing down and taking a deep breath. But I am also not static, I constantly try to work on myself (more or less successfully), and I would probably get frustrated if I stopped trying to evolve. More »

Uncategorized Like marathon, you know. Or Telethon. It’s kinda stupid cuz it doesn’t mean anything. It was the name of a town! I guess it’s like -gate. Also doesn’t mean anything, but you get it. More »
