Links 2024-11

A list of links to things I liked & shared with friends this month:

• although of course you end up [not knowing] yourself

  • On "hell is other people" and "fictions about how the world works." I've been slowly reading through tiramisu's posts. Such thoughtful writing. (Past Sylvia would have wanted to grow up to be like misu.)

• Bike guys argue about the color green

  • On the manliness of mint green bikes. Very manly, apparently. With tips on how to be even manlier. Hobby communities are fun.

• Democrats’ betrayals are jeopardizing American democracy

  • Can our gov walk away from the golden handcuffs of corporate donors? I want to believe it's possible.

• Authoritarians like Trump love fear, defeatism, surrender. Do not give them what they want

  • There's a lot of post-election coverage. I'm ignoring almost all of it, except links that friends share 1:1 with me for discussion. I liked this one.

• 👫 relationships are challenging + a lot of work & The Four Horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling

  • Discovered via Lenin and relationships. E & I read these together, and they sparked some reflection & (ongoing) discussion.
